❤ MAY 2019 CHALLENGE❤



Recommended Posts

Outside was not in the cards today, it has been cold and wet here. I did walk from my car to the gym!

B side. Boating of any kind, softball, hanging around a fire pit and going for a walk at night in a big city.

Crappy, cold, rainy day today. The only outside time I got was walking to and from car to wherever I had to go and home.

I have 2 answers.
1. I love messing around in my garden.
2. I have a swimming pool.
Sadly the pool hasn’t been opened yet and we’ve been suffering cold days, but by this time
next month I’ll be lounging poolside on days off

Day 2:

  • 5 REGULAR (!) push ups done. So I may not have gone down far enough for my liking, but I did get my elbows to 90 degrees at least, so in my book, those are regular push ups. 😎
  • Make some art: need to think about this one....

Happy May Day #2

  • Did my pushups today, did an extra one because I was so proud I could do 5!🤣
  • Make some art. Mmmmm, on that one. I am definitely challenged in that area. I have some leftover Easter dye. Maybe I'll dye some eggs and eat them. Gotta get that Protein in, right!!

2. Make some art. It's not visual art but I did write a sketch for my writing class before work this morning so I'm counting that as my art for the day. Tonight is weight day followed by Yoga so I know I won't have the energy to create something when I get home.

B-Side: Favorite outdoor activity is running. I hate running on a treadmill but love it if I can do it outdoors.

Thursdays are also my weekly weigh-in day. I'm down another 3 pounds which is a great way to kick off this challenge. 9 more pounds to go by the end of the month.

Day 2 - Make some art. My creativity takes two directions... cooking for my family (thankfully the wee-lings are adventurous eaters) and writing. I'm planning on a bit of both today. Making a casserole for the freezer for post op and I'm going to do a little work on my romance novel that I've been plugging away at since last fall.

5 push ups and one (of three) walking workout done.

The attached is the view out our bedroom window at 2am. I'm quite ready for this nonsense to stop.

      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.
