What does everyone do for fun on the weekends? I need some inspiration

Where do I start...

clean my house... strike that, no fun at all![emoji12]

hike, bicycle ride, explore/travel, ride my motorcycle, walk at the park, see local bands, meet a friend for coffee/tea, take a class and learn something new...

Most of these are easier now that I'm comfortable being me without all the extra weight.

Think about what makes you happy or what are some things you always wanted to do/try but never have for one reason or another. We only live once so enjoy your time in this great big world.

Oh, I still swallow Water at times. I do not understand why because I am sure that a few people have peed in the pool. I always come out burping and that is not cool. lol

I used a snorkel and mask yesterday, it looked dorky but i could concentrate on just swimming and my stroke amd not worry about drinking the pool trying to breath, worked really good! Going to stick with it until i get a stronger swim stroke.

Currently I work due to my schedule, but when I am able to get some time off I plan on taking the kids to a few amusement parks and actually riding EVERY ROLLERCOASTER for a change. Looking forward to taking the kids and going zip lining as well!!! I am currently enjoying just being able to move better and not get as tired as fast, I am just constantly amazed at how much this weight loss is changing the quality of my life! :D Take inspiration that once you drop your weight that your life will change SIGNIFICANTLY and for the better. The only real negative that I have to say is that I have lost so much weight so fast that this winter has been extremely hard to go through because I have not been able to get warm. But I will gladly walk around the house in a sweater, scarf, and knit cap vs all of the excess fat!!

Well, I like long walks on the beaches, 60s tunes, great movies, and laughing with friends and family. I like candlelight dinners and cooking/entertaining and having long deep conversations in bed as I drift off to sleep. :D

Oh...maybe you didn't mean it that way. LOL.

The standing date is to go to the library with hubby Saturday morning. After which, we'll go to lunch...then, we'll go walking somewhere. Parks, forest, zoo, Then, we'll come home, read, watch movies, be lazy cats.

Sunday, we'll do light projects, clean up, go somewhere....swimming, a museum, visit friends, hang out....or simply hang out in bed having naughty fun time and reading our books. LOL.

We're boring people. We play cribbage together and watch stupid stuff on the internets, and sometimes we take a little road trip and visit our kid at college where we'll do some sort of weird little adventure, see new things.

My bestie and I go on weird missions together. A couple weeks ago, we dressed all in black and snuck into her Ex husband's yard and rescued a lawn ornament sculpture her (now deceased) dad gave her, that she forgot to take after the divorce (was winter). 15 years later, she was still obsessing about it....so we played Mission Impossible one night...and got it back:) Technically, we stole it. LOL:)

We also do haunted houses, flea markets, ghost hunt, and make lots of weird art projects together. This year we're going to go out in canoes, gather up drift wood, build an elephant, and set it on fire. The boys will probably help. And if the kiddo is home, we'll have an elephant burning campout for her friends.

I go back into photography a couple years ago with my DSLR, not film. Then I use time on a PC processing the images. I like to do hdr.
With the spring approaching, I want to restart 3-gun competition training.

Well I can be a little bit couch potato-ie, today I'm watching HGTV and DIY, with a notebook in hand, making notes of what I'd like in my future dream home. Hey it could happen, even average Joes and Jane's win Powerball! Alas with the small amount,I invest it may never happen. I'll go to the mall and walk around there, promised PCP. I wouldn't March on the ice
in the neighborhood, didn't tell him I was staying housebound. I keep looking at seed displays, I've plotted and replotted my future garden in my mind. Dirt warms up enough Tomkitten is going to spade me up a little garden space. Shhh don't tell him,,i want to surprise him with the job. I figure I can grow lettuce, some Beans, zuchinni, maybe even Tomato plants, things taste so much fresher and sweeter than grocery ones.[emoji13][emoji13]

I am looking forward to doing this, hopefully when our six-year-old niece comes to visit this summer.

My wife, who is far too pregnant to ride roller coasters, is not as enthused as me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
