Ladeez, I’m going out sans thigh-rub protecting bike shorts under my skirt. First time in forever. I shall report back!

Happy to say, I spent the whole day in the skirt and not a problem. It felt so airy not having bike shorts on #freedom

I didn’t take a nap today but I slept in an extra hour and it felt great.

My bike arrived today, however it has some assembly, I’m really hoping I can ride it tonight. It’s really cute.

NSV from my Fitbit today!

August 19th Happy Monday! It's 4:25 am -

  • August challenge goal 5 pounds (maintaining my bounce weight)
  • Starting weight 140 BMI 23
  • Today’s weight 136 BMI 22.6

I think I’m past the detoxing crankiness. Sunday was rest day. Heading to the gym at 5:30 am – I have a half marathon with my team on the 27th. I’ve increased my distance and today is a lifting day.

Treating myself.

Is it ridiculous that I hatted going to a coffee shop on my own when I was at my high weight? At noon I’m sneaking off to my favorite place for a café latte with almond milk. Its great to feel comfortable in my own skin and relax.

Day 16, 17 and 18.
Surgery and recovery days,
I treated myself with this surgery in my honest opinion.
I didn't get a massage because it was the last thing I was thinking about after surgery but I do get a massage at anyone of our beautiful resorts with my BFF at least 2x a month. I have changed my swedish massage this coming Saturday for a facial so that should count as self care/treat yourself.

Exercise; I'm only walking around the house and once around the neighborhood yesterday. My kids rode their bikes alongside. The advice of walking has been heaven sent as it helped enormously!! Omg!! That gas pain!!! My surgeon who is also a friend told me she had to run out of my hospital room because I was doubled over in pain and she couldn't stand to watch!![emoji26][emoji22] I've had 3 c sections, lap band placement and removals but this brought me to my knees.........until the walking began. I would walk at least 40 laps around the unit every 2 hrs and it changed the game.
So yes, walking is all I can do.

I'll see how today 19th shapes out and come back to report. I already have a large amount of people I want to compliment so that should be easy peasy[emoji169]🧡[emoji169][emoji169]🧡🧡

Good morning! So on Saturday, I did the strength training. I did not get a massage much as I love them. Just not in the cards just now but it did make me think of making an appointment. Yesterday I went swimming in the sea for about 45 minutes and also did 70 minutes of yoga. I also took a nap! Yay!

For me, one of my number one favorite things to do is be in the sea or by the sea or anything to do with the sea so that is top of the choice list for self-care.

Oh yes, I already went to the gym today and got my 30 minutes of cardio in. I'll probably do my rest day on Wednesday.

B-Side Questions: MAC or PC? iPhone or Android?


Posting from my iPad and I still hate (after over 9 years) the only Android I’d ever owned.
That phone glitched so much it glitched while glitching.

Pretty much gave up on PCs about 3 years ago and get a new pad about every 2-3yrs.

I'm a PC/Android person. Always have been except for my Ipod...which used to be a Dell Jukebox. I prefer non-Apple products...I think it has to do with feeling like I have a choice about things.

Yeah Andy Android has always done me fine- Only owned 1 I-Phone, Tomkitten accidentally laundered it with my jacket. Found out ERA not only removes stains it obliterates Cell Phone MEMORIES, if I didn't love Him So Much. I might have had him Keelhauled for THAT MANEUVER! Current phone is Nougat system, cost dearly but I do love ITS speed and multi- functions. Now if I can keep Tomkitten from programming YouTube onto both TV's my day will go fine, it's his Latest Threat to exasperate Me!

      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.
