❤JULY 2019 CHALLENGE❤



Recommended Posts

Day 9 (doing this now so I don't forget again later!!)

  • (easy) Sleek Arms Challenge: Done :)
  • (harder) Toned Arms Challenge: Done :)
  • Sunglasses: I have a beloved pair of Ray-bans that I have been wearing for the past 4-5 years. I need to replace them soon as they are pretty scratched up from putting them in my purse with my car keys (lost the case a couple months ago :( )

Hi folks, I'm still trying to catch up with myself after my wonderful vacation. I didn't do any arm exercises until the last day and then I did them all at once - that would be the sleek arms batch. I have to catch up with this week. I just did some of the toned arms bunch today. I lack equipment for some of the exercises so I haven't done everything.

Today was my first day back at the gym and I did do lots of arm work there. I usually do my arms about four times a week.

It was a fabulous vacation and I got to ride horseback every day for at least two hours. That made me so happy to be able to do that.

B-side questions: I think, dysmorphic most of the time. On the day to day, I didn't really think about my size. My view got realistic whenever I had to see people I hadn't seen in a long time or was meeting people for the first time. I love a lot of beaches - I think my current favorite is my local beach and we call it Chappy. It's beautiful year round. One year from now, I see myself pretty much where I am now although my private practice will be up, running, and thriving in addition to my regular work. Shoes - I'm not sure how many I have but not as many as I used to. I wear a lot of Toms in the Summer and I have at least four pairs of them. In the colder months, I typically alternate between two pairs of all-weather moccasins (one black and one navy). I also have a few other shoes that I wear less often.

Hahaha, I'm the same way! Same item, different colour (tops, pants, shoes, boots, sunglasses...)


Me too! If I find something I like, I always buy multiples. I don’t think that is normal though! 😂

I have to hang around and wait for my new fridge to be delivered today. I dislike buying appliances and I hate waiting for deliveries. I have a lot of things I need to get done around the house so I’ll take advantage of this time to get some stuff done that I have been avoiding. I’m going to try and go to that yoga on the terrace again tonight, but there is a 50% chance of rain again so I’ll just wait and see if that works out. I apologize for sounding like Eeyore, I really have nothing to complain about.

Easy arm exercises done for the day.

10. coffee cup picture. I am picky. My sister gave me these Cath Kidston cups. They are the perfect weight, shape and size. I highly recommend them if you are in search of lighter weight pretty cups.

Day 10

Such a bea-u-ti-ful day today, went to have a patio brunch with a BFF and ended up hanging out there chatting for 3 hours...we already decided to do a same-time-same-place next week :)

  • (easy) Sleek Arms Challenge: Done :957_heavy_check_mark:
  • (harder) Toned Arms Challenge: Done :957_heavy_check_mark: *I feel like my shoulders are getting firmer! (may just be wishful thinking though...)
  • Coffee Cup: My everyday coffee cups are not very picture worthy, so here's a pic of a cute little Starbucks espresso cup that we hardly ever use instead, lol:

I just realized that this challenge is forcing me to live my best life 😁

I'm drinking from my favorite coffee cup, wearing sunnies, doing arm circles & trying to find a way to get a campfire photo (knowing I don't have any upcoming plans to for camping)

Anyone else feel this way?

I didn’t workout today but I went for a long walk, it is a perfect night out here.

Attached is my “campfire” picture. We have a fire pit we never use, I finally found a use for it!

I’m having way too much fun thinking stuff up..

      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.
