19. My PhD. Took me long enough (the better part of eight years) but now I can answer when the airline pilot asks if there's a doctor on board. 🤣
20. My bamboo sheets. Oh my gosh, if you've never slept in bamboo sheets they are INCREDIBLE

Awwwww good morning to you too gorgeous (to be fair, it's evening where I'm sitting). Don't you wish we had Star Trek transporters so we could beam over for a visit and a cuppa.

20) one small thing that brings you joy - Nature. It doesn’t matter if it’s a beautiful sunrise or sunset, the birds chirping , seeing deer in our yard. All of it just makes me happy
21) balance - to get exercise in more consistently. I get at least 3 days a week but I know I can do better

20. It still is cold in Ohio, even though we now are officially into Springtime. God made up for it by sending some spectacular sunsets recently, and I bet they're even more so in Heaven on the other side!

March 20 & 21:

One small joyful area is finding small pockets of bliss and sanctuary in this crazy world.

I could always use more balance with trying to make sure i get enough sleep. I do not. Busted...

This is hard-- I have been lax some days about commenting and instead obsessing over other stuff...so that is my 21. I need to not obsess over things that are not in my control and just take it as it comes...day by day :)

21. More balance...I would say I could use more balance between work and play. Work seems to be a little much these days.

B-side - fun childhood outdoor activity - Riding! Horseback riding! But, I always loved being outside and I still do.

Oh yes, savasana and warrior for yoga today.

I'm doing really well this month despite stall when I was crook. I'm sooooo close to making my March goal!
21. I could do with more balance in my sleep. Its either too much or too little. My circadian rhythm is pretty skewiff.
22. Biggest victory so far has to be losing over 32 kilos so far with my surgery. I never believed it was possible that this could actually work, and every day I wake up smiling b/c of it!

      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.
