💜AUGUST 2019 CHALLENGE💜



Recommended Posts

OH my gosh..1 semi on topic post (from me): Was feeling really bad after the egg saga but still went with youngest daughter to Sam's as our heat index was like 110 and we've been trying to get together a few times a week to walk.

We walked for about 1 hr and 45 mins. She really has to stop to see everything. I take off with the cart, holding my Water and my 10 lb purse..and I've warned her that it actually hurts me knee and back more to stand in one place for too long...plus I want a more forceful walk effort..

What was the best compliment you ever received?

I heard from a mutual friend that my friend who is really intelligent, told them I was the smartest person they ever met. I was stoked (even though it's not true hahaha)

Checking in ...

Weighed in at 126.6 this morning. So happy I have some cushion to stay under 130.

Walked 1+ miles 10/12 days (thanks airports, trade show, and bar hopping 😂)

10, 11 & 12 - smiling + music + dance party

Went dancing Friday and Saturday night so I think I covered all of those bases 😁

Best compliment

Co-worker / good friend, whom is gorgeous and has very high standards in women, tells me in his southern drawl "Damn girl, you look amazing! You must have lost 30 lbs!" (I had lost 80 at that point)

It must have felt amazing !

Best Compliment: hmmm, professionally: "You are the best doctor I've ever had the opportunity to meet". Didn't do anything special, just listened 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Personally: My kids do tell me they are happy I am their mommy...inspite of my happy dance this morning [emoji5][emoji5]

I bet you are a great listener, and totally appreciated.

All. The. Feels.

So, had a rest day yesterday. I thought about doing a Body Groove work out as that could've counted as a dance party but didn't. Does my wagging my butt at someone count? I was imitating the puppy, lol.

I went to the gym this morning and did the 35 minutes of cardio. I don't see me listening to a podcast anytime soon. Nothing against them but so many other things have priority.

Happy Tuesday!

I (re)discovered podcasts last month and have been listening to them compulsively. Dr Death was scary but Man in the Window had me freaking out when I listened to it driving home in the dark one night.

One year ago today! I hoped I would reach 140, I thought my current weight 129-130 was too much of a stretch goal. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I know the hard part will be over the next few years. I feel like I’m educating myself and preparing for what lies ahead.

I have an appointment with the personal trainer late afternoon. I’m certain I’ll meet the 35 minutes of cardio! The gym has a really nice private steam room so I might indulge in that afterwards. I have been listening to the podcast My Favorite Murder. I love morbid stuff if I’m not involved.

I didn’t go to the arcade zone yesterday, my son had plans. Womp womp.

Just goes to show, you never know how good a few kind words might make someone feel!!

I am known in my family for being a terrible liar. It's so bad that when my daughter wanted to come to a movie with me she was about 6 months too young to get into, she didn't want me to open my mouth to answer if we got asked how old she is.

Update: Personal trainer did not kill me but I’m pretty sure he tried. I was d.y.i.n.g. after awhile I said, “Do you expect this much out of every almost 60 year old person? “ (Ok, I’m 58 but I wanted him to feel bad for me) I got a new compliment today. First he thought I was joking, then realized I wasn’t . He apologized and said he honestly thought I was 45 and reduced the crazy amount of weight he was expecting me to lift.

Maybe he was blowing smoke up my ..., who knows.

I don’t look like I’m 45, ok maybe a rough 45 year old. My neck looks 80.

Best lie... I don’t lie very often because I could never keep track, but I love a good prank. I convinced a friend in high school that Jimmy Carter was my Grandfather. He was running for president and I was bored. I told her the truth the following day.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
