❤JULY 2019 CHALLENGE❤



Recommended Posts

I’m going to the gym today, the class I used to go to changed this week to “Extreme Fitness” ...yeah, I’m not going to that. The description of the class alone was intimidating. I’ll head out early today to avoid it!

Current read: I isn’t a novel, but I love having this book to pick up a thumb through randomly. Lin-Manuel Miranda is such a clever and kind human.

He wrote the plays, In the Heights and Hamilton, although everyone probably already knew that!

Went to the gym and did cardio and weights. As I was doing a set of arm pull down things the trainer walked in and corrected my form. Ouch, no wonder I thought they were easy, I was doing it wrong!

Day 17:

  • Easy and Hard arm challenges done.
  • Current Read: I am sad to say I am not reading anything right now. Sad because I love reading. But sometimes it is necessary to stay away from the books because I tend to never put them down once I start reading..to the point where I won't sleep and just read all night and day to finish it. Ya, I have issues, lol. However, I am going on a girls' vacay in a few weeks and am looking for a few good novels/ebooks to take with me so I can binge read on the beach 😎 ...Any suggestions welcome...

Guest B-side question (stole this from another thread) :

Which celebrity/famous person do you think (or others think) you look like?

B. Who do I resemble.

It is an obscure actress, Linda Fiorentino. When the original Men in Black came out strangers would stop me to inform me of the resemblance. “You look just like the actress in Men in Black”. I think it happened 10+ times over a few months. I’m sure it helped that we had the same hairstyle and color.

Even my husband mentioned it separately one day. I kind of see the resemblance, but not to the degree where I was stopped on the street. This was 20 years ago, so not so much now.

B-side:

I used to get told I look like Leah Remini (from King of Queens...never watched it though), when we each were both younger (which is really weird because I'm asian, lol).

I’m so excited. The club we joined has burger night on Thursdays and we are going tomorrow night. I am having a burger, not chicken, a burger! I might go rogue and eat half of the bun too. They have healthy side choices like fruit so I’m covered.

I haven’t had a burger in forever. I have an Iron sleeve so I have no fears.

How pathetic is my excitement?

I definitely have not worked out as much this week. I’ve been active and walking but not as much gym time. Sometimes I think I need to regroup and recharge. I’ll be walking 2 miles tonight because it isn’t going to be gross hot.

Tomorrow will be another story. We’re going to Wrigley Field for the 1 pm game and the heat index is supposed to be 105-110. Maybe I’ll sweat off a few pounds.

Day 18:

  • Easy Sleek Arms challenge done :957_heavy_check_mark:
  • Harder Toned Arms challenge done :957_heavy_check_mark: My triceps (and shoulders) are really sore today as the Kid and I did just a little over an hour of lane swimming last night, so this was particularly difficult today 😬
  • Shoes: Got my trusty flip flops on while out on a pal's porch, while we enjoy the last rays of sunshine of the day....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
