ms.sss 15,725 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) #8 List of accomplishments: I've got some big ones, and some some small ones, but the accomplishment I am most proud of to date is when I quit smoking 8 years ago. Smoking was such a big part of my life, so quitting and not looking back was/is a really big thing for me. B-side: I still take chewable Vitamin D, Calcium & Vitamin B12 (all Jamieson brands), only because I have a huge stash of them and am just finishing them off. Once they are done, I'll go back to my regular tablets waiting for me in my pantry that I was taking pre-op (all costco brands). #9 Drink more water: I think I already drink a lot of water...about 2.5-3 litres a day. It's always hot Water, as I find I can drink so much more than when it's cold. P.S. My lashes are still au naturel at the moment...the Kid has been too busy this weekend (homework, then hanging/shopping with friends) to play makeup with mom...grrrrr.

DanaC84 1,116 Posted April 9, 2019 I already drink at least 64 oz a day but I’m going to try to bump that up. I’ve been having headaches the last few days which I haven’t had since pre op. Hoping it’s just being dehydrated now that it’s warmer 🤷🏼♀️ 4 GreenTealael, Orchids&Dragons, MrsGamgee and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpaca55 168 Posted April 9, 2019 I’m feeling grumpy and a bit defeated ... I seem to be on a stall! Just as I started the challenge! Maybe it’s psychological... or maybe it’s those damn metabolic control- freak spirits trying to test my metal!! “Huff” 1 1 GreenTealael and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seaforest 562 Posted April 9, 2019 Hello, Ok, so I have accomplished my lunges and plank for today. I find lunges very awkward. I also made it to the gym this morning. I am well on my way to getting extra Water in. I had my usual workday fluids done by lunch today and should have completed 70 oz before I go home. I average around 64 oz daily. And then when I get home, I can drink even more! Perfect day for this challenge. I've been working on trying to get more fluids in so this is good. 2 1 Orchids&Dragons, GreenTealael and DanaC84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm up and down like a roller coaster trying to find maintenance. I'm grumpy because of the weather but i plan to say screw it and indulge in a plank 😝 1 DanaC84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've watched a few different videos to make sure I'm doing them correctly but it still feels weird. 9. I try to get 64 oz a day. To up it today instead of having a shake or Protein Bar for my snack I had two bottles of Protein Water to supplement my protein today. 3 GreenTealael, DanaC84 and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheribear68 3,201 Posted April 10, 2019 No lunges and no planks, but I did work a 10hr busy shift and then went to the thunder game. Lots of walking and stair climbing and jumping up and down cheering and I drank over 96 ounces Water. Lol, probably going to get up at least twice to go to the bathroom, but it will be worth it 3 DanaC84, Orchids&Dragons and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
