❤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....

      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.
