Happy Motivational Monday Y'all!!!!
B-Side question: Are weekends easier or harder on your dietary efforts?
Harder for sure... I find it easier to focus on my routine when my kids are at school and hubs is at work.

Weekends are totes harder. So much fun, so little willpower. LOLOLOLOL.

I look forward to my M-Thurs routines cuz they are familiar and comfortable. I have control in them and know what to expect. But the weekends?

Hold. Me.

Weekends are healthier. Better sleep excellent lots of laughter and natural dynamic movement. Weekdays are constructed worktime work travel time exercise time etc. etc. etc. Blah blah blah.

#15 Teat Yo' Self:

Well, that's a coincidence. I had a 90 min massage this morning after the gym, and lo and behold today was a treat yourself day for this challenge. So.....Treat completed!

B-side: i find dietary efforts to be about the same, effort-wise, for both weekends and weekdays. But I guess if I had to choose, I'd say weekends would be a smidge harder only because they are a little less predictable. Though the ever present beef Jerky in my purse can always be counted on. I've also started carrying around a teeny ziplock of a single serving of Protein Powder for other just-in-case situations.

Went to the gym had a decent workout. Briefly met my personal trainer who I have my first meeting with on Friday. Did the crunches and squats at home.

I’m lucky, I feel like I treat myself everyday. I guess today I took a shortcut and grabbed Jimmy John turkey unwich no mayo xtra turkey. It’s only 125 calories and fills me up.

I’m super nervous, I’m buying a new scale this week. If I weigh more on it I’m going to ignore it until it matches what I have now!

B side: No big difference for me on weekends although we usually go out. I just plan ahead.

15. Squats and crunches accomplished. Treating myself: Just bought a plane ticket to go see my brother in September. Boy will he be surprised when he sees me! I also got a ticket to see Eddie Izzard next month. B-side - I find weekends harder because I have more free time and one of the ways I used to solve that was with food.

Truth is a good and desirable thing, shame some of our politicians never learned that. A saying from my younger days.
Pro Means for something
Con Means against something
So can we really expect Progress from Congress?

      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.
