๐Ÿ’œ SEP 2019 CHALLENGE ๐Ÿ’œ



Recommended Posts

16. I did get my 105 squats done yesterday. I was doubting my follow through so glad I said I'd update about that. My thighs are grateful for the rest day today - I could feel the complaining when I was at the gym earlier. I had to push myself this morning to get up and go...I don't think the shorter days are helping. I want to stay in bed when it's dark out. Much as I would love to schedule a game night, it's not going to happen here. However, I did play games when I was vising my family at the beginning of the month. We played a game twice a day and it was a lot of fun.

Mid-month check in - meh. I was happy but the scale didn't move this week so meh. Hopefully, the scale will catch up with me and give me credit for all my hard work!

B-side - I think my pets are my biggest fans. Haters don't get to stay in my life - who needs the negative energy?

Squats done, but I had to take a break.

No haters that I am aware of, Iโ€™m unsure if I have any โ€œfansโ€ but a lot of people are proud of me.

Omg, Kathy Bates was so good in Misery!

Here is a pic from July of my shoes in action. They have paint splatters on them now, but they are so comfortable Iโ€™m not in a hurry to replace them.

18. I forgot to do my squats. I didn't do any major projects or anything but I did take the trash out which is on the weekly to do list. Hope that counts.

19. Making up for missed squats yesterday so 270 squats completed! Oy! I feel them most in my quads. I'll compliment the next person I see. LOL.

Happy Thursday!

Day 19:

140 squats coming up, I'm on 10.

Compliment someone: This happens on the daily for me as it's definitely easier to give than to receive BUT as I'm home this am, I complimented my husband on his way out[emoji38]

Tech: Sad to say I can't live without my phone but I'm working on it.

Have a fantastic day team ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก[emoji123][emoji123][emoji123]

Well I don't think I could Do 140 reps even if someone was holding a gun on me, but I promise to compliment people TODAY, oh I guess I already told the phone associate at Lincare that they had an excellent company and I was glad I chose them as my C-Pap supplier- hope that counts as it was corporate instead of personal.

      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.
