TGIF!!!!!!![emoji119][emoji119][emoji119] This was a helluva week!!!🥵

Day 24, 25 and 26
Hubby and I did date night last weekend. It was lovely!
I'm not on any social media other than Bariatric pal by choice! So nothing to unfollow. I definitely said no to writing a blog for work. I'm typically the go to person for the blogs but I was TRULY swamped this week so it was a "HECK NO"!! Moment when I was asked! No guilt too!!
Day 27: I'm using my phone as we speak so hard for it to be a phone free night. I may drop it when I'm done writing this[emoji2].....but then again, I'm on call tonight so no can't do.

Squats!! Was happy for rest day! From day 25 onwards, squats have been done in 2 events![emoji28]
I'll complete the rest of my 95 later tonight.

B side: My older sister is my absolute girl crush!! I 🧡 her!! She's admirable, courageous and FIERCE!!!

Did I say TGIF??? Yay!!

B-Side Question:

Even when you're super busy what do you always find time to do?

(For me, it's my hair😂)

28. Completed the 5K walk and was somewhere in the middle as far as placing went. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Then I went to yoga teacher training for the afternoon...and we went to the beach to practice! There were some squats in the practice but that's not what we called them. I didn't watch much tv or video yesterday but I did see a funny thing where someone dressed up as a bear and scared his co-worker when he came around the corner.

29. Sore butt and hips this morning. I'm going to the gym and then another afternoon of yoga and we're going back to the beach! So glad we're getting in this outside time on the weekend. Of course, it doesn't help me mow my lawn...oh well. No plan for squats today unless I'm doing leg presses or they are part of the yoga routines. Right now, I would say that the something good that happened is being outside a lot of the weekend.

B-side. Super busy...hmm, I would say reading before bed and, these days, gym/exercise somewhere in the day. Oh, and of course, some time with the fur babies! I like to make sure they know that they are loved every day and they let me know the same.

Day 29

100 squats done so far!! My thighs are burning but looks good!![emoji106]looking streamlined [emoji28]

Will complete 100 later on.

Write down something good: I was just writing in my journal that I am gaining confidence in my ability to live this lifestyle longterm and for me this is a BIG deal!!!

B side: I always find time to read!! No matter how busy! It's my way of decompressing after a long day! Even if for 10 minutes.

Off to completing my squats🥵

30. Well, to finish out the month...down 7 lbs in total....a hair's breadth away from onederland at 200.2. Grrr. I hope I wake up tomorrow and start the new month in onederland. My new thing is to practice mindfulness...goes with my yoga training...ooohhh, today I'm feeling muscles I'm not used to feeling! Like the front of my shins. The squats went out the window but I'm ok with that because it wasn't that I wasn't moving.

I guess that's it for the month....I really enjoyed it! Thanks for hosting GT! :) See you in the next challenge!

I've totally slacked on this challenge this month!

I have been walking a decent amount this month. Not as much as previous months because of travel and September is the hottest month where I live.

I did also meet my goal of staying under 130 ... barely! Weighed in this morning at 129.8 ...whew!

      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.
