@Cheeseburgh a bike?? Like a proper one that goes from A to B or a stationary one like wot you can do in front of the telly??

A real bike! It’s a 7 speed cruiser bike. It is being delivered tomorrow.

I have an elliptical and a recumbent exercise bike at home. I still prefer the gym because I work harder there.

Here is a picture of it.

B side: I practice self care just about everyday.

Checking in ...

Maintaining below 130 ... had a great month so far for getting 1+ miles of walking in a day.

15-16-17 - I didn't color, treat myself, nor will I get a massage today

B-side self care - Not a lot honestly. Funny when I started working from home about 5 years ago I had planned to get cheap local massages on the regular. Has. not. happened. once.

August challenge goal 5 pounds (maintaining my bounce weight)

Starting weight 140 BMI 23

Happy Saturday. Finished an hour and a half run. No time for a massage. @Cheeseburgh Thanks for the snacking tip. Still a bit cranky detoxing. I have new motivation to get the weight down. Going to a family wedding in Sept then a vacation with my hubby.

What kinds of foods/things are you detoxing from?

Sugar and salt feel like the worst....

This summer I've been surrounded by naughty food. [emoji12] I'm detoxing off sugar, wine and extra carbs. I should feel better by next week.

Meh. Mostly good I think

Yesterday was emotional bc my daughter had her white coat ceremony.
I made sure to dress in an outfit that made me feel FABULOUS (and I looked pretty good), except my hair.< br /> My hair is thinning so badly that I’m having difficulty getting excited about my outfits and my body.
Need to get over that.
Also, I allowed my daughter to sweet-talk me into taking her to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant (I had originally had plans to go to Pilates after the ceremony).
In short, I had a margarita AND nachos instead of exercising so there was soooo much guilt.
But OTOH, the day was super special for my daughter so I was sacrificing for her.
Was able to get right back on track today though so I’m feeling way better about the weekend than I did at this point yesterday.

Here is a pic of us and yes..... I’m super proud,proud mom right now.

      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.
