πŸ’œ SEP 2019 CHALLENGE πŸ’œ



Recommended Posts

I’m late but I’m in!! My one year will be in two weeks!

Goals: reach a normal BMI of 24.9 / lose 6+lbs and finish my half marathon strong.

Surgery: RNY (9/17/18) losing

Weight: 180lbs BMI: 25.8

Beginner squat challenge because I have a half marathon at the end of the month and I need my legs lmao

My favorite flaw? I eat a lot of PB , it’s a strange addiction but at least it’s not large pizzas and family size bags of chips

I'm 5 days late! Ha! Here goes:

1. My personal goal: Be consistent in my meal plans and exercising every day

2. Post-Op - VGS - 46 days

3. 235 - 40 BMI

4. Easy squats (for right now)

5. My fav flaw: I believe in people when I first meet them. **Shrug** I love meeting new people and until people prove me otherwise, I trust them...This has bitten me in the buttocks (in my Forrest Gump voice)...

Day 5. A little Body Groove first thing this morning. A quick visit (30 minutes) to the gym mid morning. 40 squats after lunch. Still planning to do 30 minutes of yoga and hoping the puppy doesn't interfere too much. Very glad it's nearly Friday.

My Goal 175 pounds and a Size 15 Junior
My Highest Weight 365+ never worked out the BMI for That- somewhere between 50 and 60?
Today- First Surgiversity,and 182.3 and a 28.8 BMI
Squat choice Easy and Please God,that I WILL Not Fall Backwards!
And something I find Hard to believe is that This Weight Loss I have had is really and truly MINE; I still worry that Someone or Something will take it away- that Fat Frustr8 will return- that All This is only a Dream and can be abruptly wrenched away.πŸ˜ͺ😒πŸ˜ͺ

Squats done, plus I’m painting a room so I decided I get extra points for that.

Plan a healthy meal. Made ground chicken lettuce wraps tonight, they were good but I made them a bit too spicy.

No yoga. Am I a day ahead?

Squats done.Yoga ... I get super nauseated and feel horrible when I do yoga or Pilates. I have tried both more than once and I get all clammy, nauseated and feel so horrible after. Does this happen to anyone else?

Finally got to a scale. No idea how, but I'm actually down from when I last weighed in, 10 days ago. I know I'm dehydrated, so that's a big part of it I'm sure. I'm at 126.6

Walked a mile +, 4 days out of 5

Plan a healthy meal. Well I'll meal prep for the BF, he's getting BBQ chicken salad, plus something else I need to figure out. Then I'll cook us dinner on Sunday night, I'm thinking pork tenderloin, a grain salad, and veggies.

B-Side Question:




Everyone (family and friends too) checked in as safe during Hurricane Dorian?


Hubs has family in Jacksonville.
My sister-in-law was prepared: when I spoke to her last week she was at the store buying a case of Chardonnay and 16 flats of Water.
Love a woman with those priorities.
Thankfully the storm gave them a miss, but now she’s stocked up on wine for a bit

      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.
