Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

FOR ME...Even if you do not get a chance to exercise make sure you drink your Water and eat on program. Usually when you do two out of the 3 you should still lose something:)

Good Morning ladies,

It took me a while to catch up on the posts, and I think I only missed out for 3 days! That is great, lots of encouragement and discussion is going on.

I am starting the Boot Camp Mentality today! I have been giving in to the evil temptation of chocolate Easter candy that someone brought to work and I'm not going to anymore. That has really been my weakness and of course I justify it because this has been a crazy busy stress filled week at work. No excuses though - we all know that it is just a mind game and my mind is made up.

My goal is 20 pounds during boot camp and to exercise daily and get in all my Water.< /p>

Ready - set - go = SUCCESS:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thanks for stepping up to be the leader Tann.

Later,

Remember to get off and from around the couch:behindsofa: :D this weekend and do some type of :banana :D :D :)

I think I forgot to post that I actually called and cancelled my fill appt for Friday...I dont know why but all of a sudden for the last few days I was feeling really tight and couldnt hardly eat anything and a few pounds started coming off again so I was scared to go in and get any more of a fill after thinking about it for months...It is just so strange how the band reacts...I think that I scared it with the threat of another fill and it decided to be good for a while...So I will actually be happy to step on that scale in the morning for my weekly weigh in this time I think cuz it actually might move

Avilla, I hope your scale gives you a lower number in the morning:biggrin1:

I get on the scale in the morning too. I need to fess up I ate off program for 1/2 day Thursday and ALL day Friday:eek: the closest thing I had of a meal Friday was a 1/4 bowl of Cereal. The rest was junk. A piece of blackberry pie, 1/2 a donut, milk and popcorn and a piece of candy. I still feel kinda sick from all that sugar:faint: I'm back on program today. So if the scale goes up, it's my own bad choices that put me there:cry I'll report in - in the morning:tired

I always try to think of a room or area that needs a quick clean up....Or going around picking up clothes that the boys throw around...But I have been doing good all week with my food until today...My husband bought me 2 yogart parfaits from Mcdonalds for Breakfast (of course I ate them both)...Then I went to the store and bought stuff to make some home made ones for a couple lunches this week...I found some things on the canned fruit isle that already have the fruit and yogart in a cup so I bought those and some granola to go on top...So, I had a mini parfait for lunch and an egg roll...And we are planning ribs, baked Beans, egg salad for dinner...I already know that I cant do well eating ribs and this is a good thing...So I might be most of 1 down and a little egg salad...I have been getting so full so fast lately so I never know from meal to meal how I am going to do...So we will see...Still keeping my fingers crossed for my weigh in tomorrow....Even tho I feel like I have done bad today I guess I really havent cuz if you break it down its only yogart, fruit, couple pinches of granola and a chicken egg roll...But the scale might decide different tomorrow

I want to join boot camp again and recommit. I went to the Domincan Republic last week and we stayed at an all inclusive resort. All food and drinks were included. It was a lovely setting. I used the treadmill and went to there Water aerobics classes two times. I had a hard time with some of the food (a lot of stringy mystery meat) and actually threw up once. That was not fun! Anyway, I managed to mantain my weight and not gain, with a lot of temptation around. I guess that is good. Right? I'm tired of this plateau and guess that I must recommit to measuring and increasing my exercise. I am reporting in at 187 and hope that this go around I can do better!

How is everyone doing????

Eating

Water

Exercise

B: greentea

L: egg salad w/2 cherry tomatoes

D: Protein Shake (planned)

2 mile walk (planned)

Water: 40 oz & counting

I'm doing great so far, aiming for 3-5 pounds this week:huytsao

I saw on the Discovery Health channel that when you walk make sure to do at least 2 miles because that's when the fat (or something, I can't remember) starts to burn. I plan on doing at least 2 miles today on our nature trail.

B - inside of a breakfast burrito (egg and sausage)

L- chicken salad & Carrots

D - ??

Exercise - Lunchtime Cardio and afterwork Swim

Water - 23 oz so far

I really wanted to start my early morning stretching (yoga) this morning but I didn't get up, so that is the plan for tomorrow.

I lost my mind on Saturday and ate 2 Snickers Ice Cream Bars and an Ice Cream Sandwich - CRAZY - have I mentioned lately that I need Diet Therapy!!

Oh well, as we sing at church - it's a New Day, a New, New Day -

Good afternoon everyone! I started m/e today and hoping to pull some big numbers. I went to the doc Friday and he and the nurse were very happy with my progress! I don't go back to see him until June 1st so by then, I should be at my mini goal. Actually if my trend continues, I will reach it far before then. :biggrin1:

Avilla I am so excited to see your ticker!! That is fantastic! Keep it up and you will be at 70 lbs. lost in no time! :clap2:

I'm sorry to hear that some are struggling but like Tann said, it's a new month so let's commit to succeed this month. Convincing yourself that you can do it is half the battle (at least for me it is).

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
