I don't really have a workout music list. I'm usually exercising with someone and we just talk (or not talk). Also these days I mostly just listen to classical and jazz (gave up pop music for Ramadan and it stuck).

I ❤ chamber music (classical)

I didn't add it to the list but my fav artist is Yo Yo Ma, and I had to chance to see him play live 😍

Who are your favorites?

Day 23! I can hardly believe it! So today is Top workout tip...

KEEP GOING!!!

Doesn't matter if you're using every modification, doesn't matter if your running pace is 1mph faster than walking, doesn't matter if there are no weights on the bar. Keep going. You CAN do it. Don't let the negative voices in your head win. Use your today to work on mastering what you modified yesterday. Teach your brain to say "Yes I can, I can do this" and squash the "I can't do this! I'm too...(tired, painful, sleepy, hungry...) you do have this! I have faith in all of you! Keep going!

SO far behind, but let's go!

#19 - my Vitamins (I actually needed to take two pics because I have my work vitamins and my home - time-spacing issues - can't take certain ones together.)

#20 - Aw, missed my chance to bestow upon you the glorious, glowing, fresh dewy image of my morning selfie---because I totally didn't look like a sleep deprived, working momma cliche with a dirty tank and holey socks. :P

#21 My biggest support is my husband. Always.

#22 Honestly I do my best working out to German rap/hip-hop--I can't understand it but it sounds incredibly angry which is basically what I feel when I am forced to exercise! Also, I have been scream-singing this one on the treadmill lately, much to the husband's chagrin.

#23 - Get a fitbit to annoy you all day. I have mine vibrate to remind me to get up and move. Plus I love the little fireworks when I reach my 10,000 steps.

I love love love Yo Yo Ma. I love that he does crossover genres too! Faves - oooh this could be a long post!

Vanessa Mae

The Piano Guys

Sheku Kanneh-Mason is a new find. He played at Prince Harry & Megan Markle's wedding and he's still only a teenager

If you've seen The Fifth Element, well Jane Zhang actually sings the WHOLE of Diva's song - you simply can't believe it's a human voice singing:

Nigel Kennedy, but mostly coz his half-sister and I were peers back in Oz (I played classical violin in another life)

So jelly you got to see Yo Yo Ma live!

Oh I give up. Posting all those YouTube videos caused BP to do some funky html. I tried to edit it to fix it but it doesn't love me

Top Workout Tip: everything counts. Never think that a ten minute brisk walk isn't worth doing because if you start small when you begin and do a little bit more and more as you continue on, soon you'll find those ten minutes are a full workout session!

My Vitamins are liquid and kept in the fridge. I am hardly in there anymore so that's why I forget so easy... I started setting reminders so hopefully it'll help lol.

In other news lol, today is day 19 - when I DO remember to take my vitamins, I take Mary Ruth's daytime and nighttime liquid vitamins. I went over them with my NUT and Dr and the only downside/ question they had was that each one has 8g of carbs per serving. Sad ( or not so sad?) part is... that still keeps me well under their goal of 50g of carbs so they are okay to take. I love the liquid vitamins over pills. Pills sit like rocks in my stomach, and these are GF so with having CD I don't have to worry. Which is super nice!200532204_20190119_1803302.thumb.jpeg.b1fbb284ecc796bde3f57eda863a048a.jpeg

      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.
