I played basketball with my 20 year old son this afternoon, that was a workout!

I am kind of crabby today for absolutely no reason. I’ll go take a walk that usually clears my head.

I was hanging out in the backyard and thinking, what can I take a picture of that’s orange for today. I looked down and voila! I snapped this picture.

Can you ask her to go out for coffee tomorrow or out for a walk tonight?

@KarenLR75 ^^^ this is a very good idea. Hope the swim lifts a little of your funk. Hang in there, Thrusday is a mere 3 days away and pre-op will be over. ♥️

Day 22

  • :957_heavy_check_mark: Toned and Sleek Arm Challenges done. Did not go out for my daily walk/run that I planned to do after dinner as it's raining pretty hard out right now...AND I've changed into my pj's so I'm done for the night. lol
  • Orange: This is my latest thing-du-jour: Water enhancers. A good portion of my daily water quota has been sparkling water with a squirt of this stuff. I also have other flavours, but this one is my favourite.

I have recently been buying Crystal light and Mio Water enhancers. I need a magnifying glass at the store, I keep buying ones with caffeine in them! I didn’t know that existed until I bought 3 of them by mistake.

I am going to give them to my neighbor or something because I have no desire to have a caffeinated fruit flavored water.

That flavor, (sorry..flavour) looks good, I’ll try and remember to pick some up when I’m in Ontario next month.

Tip: I only seem to find these at NO FRILLS or LOBLAWS grocery stores (despite what Google says). I like them also because they are sweetened with Stevia vs.. Sucralose.

Day 23

  • :957_heavy_check_mark: Toned and Sleek Arm Challenges done. Also did a 7.5km walk/run this morning.
  • I was just reading the goals I posted I would do this month and was reminded that I pledged to do some butt exercises every day this month...and I totally did not do any. Oopsies. So I guess I have to do some butt exercises now....
  • Smile: Here is my attempt of this on my salad. I clearly have too much time on my hands.

I’m still plugging away at the arm exercises although I noticed I’m picking and choosing which ones to do based on my motivation and mood. I’m headed off to the gym then I’m going to an outlet mall everyone raves about. I’m not a big fan of outlet malls, it always seem like the carry lower quality or things that look like knock offs of their own brand.

Maybe I’ll find white pants that fit, it’s getting so late in the year so now I want a good sale.

24. Beauty. We went to the Smoky Mountains in October a few months after my surgery. It really is beautiful, I was really excited I took a few decent pictures.

We didn’t go to Dollywood but I had to snap a picture as we drove by. She is such a beautiful human. Check out her imagination library if you’ve never heard of it. Ok, tangent over, I’m off to conquer today.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
