23. I actually have a plan to call a friend this evening which I think will be way better than texting. So much quicker and easier! Well, maybe not quicker depending on how long we chat for... lol. Rest day on the glutes and abs! Yay! Still, did go to the gym this morning and got my cardio and some upper body work done.

April 20, 21, 22 & 23:

Phone off challenge is always hard but I avoided it for a long time

Healthy recipe made was a Soup

I have been thinking about my 5 year plan a lot lately...

Texted an old friend but kinda wished I didn't LOL

24. Ok, just finished my plank and lunges for today. There are so many ways to be creative. Right now, I'm on day 2 of an intermittent fasting trial so I've been having to be creative about getting all my Protein in in a shorter amount of time. Also, I'm being creative as I consider ways to get more exercise in today - shall I garden, do a Body Groove session, or what later today? Or maybe I'll take a walk during my lunch break. All because my fitbit didn't acknowledge how much time I exercised at the gym this morning. Silliness I know but there it is.

24) be creative. I have a rare few hours completely to myself. I haven’t decided how I’m going to use it yet. I might be totally creative or totally decadent and take a nap on this rainy day. Could go either way folks 😂

#23 Text an Old Friend

I'm going to count something I did two weeks ago for this one: About 2 weeks ago, I re-connected with an old high school friend over Instagram, of all places. Prior to meeting up for lunch soon after texting, we hadn't seen nor spoken to each other in over 23 years. And it was great because it was as if we had not been apart for so long, we just picked up where we left off. I love those kinds of friends. ♥️.

#24 Be Creative

My attempt at being creative will be to make dinner for the fam out of different leftovers and ingredients that are about to expire in the fridge ;)

Let us know how the "Use things up" works, if nothing else make Garbage Soup, that's what my Aunt Wilma called it, but often it was pretty doggone good.

Lunges and plank (in 2) done, plus full workout at gym. I was not creative today, hopefully I’ll make that one up this week.

  • Finished a "indoor " walking video. Will stretch afterwards.
  • Now to the 40 squats and crunches. Squats are okay. I still have a weak stomach, she does not like crunches! Lol! Or maybe its just me that doesn't like crunches!!

      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.
