Hello August peeps!

I'm so non-compliant on the Happiness Challenge.

I didn't do a bubble bath. I don't do much social media, unless this counts. I also only like Vietnamese coffee, but it doesn't like me anymore 😢

B-Side - I love my exfoliating scrubby gloves & spinning face brush.

Oh my gosh!! She's SO SO ADORABLE!!! Is she a golden or ?

Most of her origins are unknown. All that is known is that her mother is part schnauzer. The rest remains a mystery. I'm curious to see what she grows up to be.

Day 6 - I had a cup of coffee at breakfast this morning. It is so hard to negotiate my morning cuppa (tea or coffee) around eating breakfast. I try to drink it before breakfast....and then finish it before I head out the door. My stomach sometimes say, nope, not now. Finish it later. Heading to the gym shortly so I will do my regular routine and make sure that I do 20 minutes of strength training instead of the usual 15.

Thank you for the love for Hazel the puppy!

7. Ok, 30 minutes of cardio done for today. I did get the strength training completed yesterday. Hmmm, I would love to catch up with an old friend...maybe more than one. I guess I'll have to see who answers the phone today.

Happy Wednesday!

Okay so when I first started drinking coffee (around 4-6wks PO) was when I started pushing breakfast back to around 10-11am. Even now i can’t drink anything within 45 mins of eating and the coffee was just that important to me.
Hey, if I’m pretty much giving up wine,cocktails, beer and pizza, I gotta have SOMETHING to look forward to.

Anyway,it was delaying breakfast that’s brought me to my current (almost every) day schedule of 16:8 IF.

*exciting news*

Got on the scale this morning and I’m down 1.8 pounds since last Wednesday. Woo hoo!!!

Haven't been on BP (or much social media for awhile) , so always late, terrible at committing to these, applaud @GreenTealael for all her efforts in doing them though.

Where to start....how to catch up lol

7. All my friends are 'old' cuz well I'm old. But I do keep in touch with my dearest one - in MD. (We were army wives together in Hawaii.)

Goals:

#1. I have to stop being reluctant to losing the last 30 pounds. Why is it that I am not committing?

#2. I finally, finally accepted that my sister isn't reconciling with me after 2 year estrangement, and I am okay with that. I saw her this weekend at a cousin's anniversary party, and she was so phoney nice with the hugging, and taking pictures - I wanted to puke on her. This is bio sister I was never raised with, I was adopted out, only sibling out of 6 adopted out....long story. Love her dearly.

#3. I weigh 174 -177 consistently for 10 months now. 2 yr anniversary October 24th coming up. I want to weigh 140-144. I was 169 a few times for a hot minute.

#4. Immediate plan - track 100% - I have been tracking on and off only 3 days a week average for many months now. I have tracking aversion after being a serial WW member forever. I dislike thinking about food, meal planning, food, being hypervigilent makes me crazy....seriously.

Contest. Which one is me? Should be easy....

Me and my bio sisters (our 3 brothers are all deceased). (Some of you have seen other pics of me, so don't play lol)

This was at that anniversary party, and there was ZERO healthy food, absolutely zero...stuffed italian beef pie, Pasta salad, hot dogs, chips, and cake. Who does that?

      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.
