💜 SEP 2019 CHALLENGE 💜



Recommended Posts

Day 2: catching up with a friend... does my hubby count, lol? We are busy with 2 teen girls that both have sports, music, etc. I plan to spend the day catching up with him, lol. We sit often have days that we can just hang and chat.

Squat challenge: I have been going to Orange Theory Fitness and LOVE it! If we don’t get the squats for today in my class, I will do them right after.

I ate pretty bad this weekend and feel so tired of bad food today! I plan to track all of my food and get my Water in today and I am just about to do my OTF class in 10mins. I’m at a point in my weight loss journey that I feel really good and people tell me how great I’m looking ... this makes me sometimes not be as on point with food as I need to be. I still want to lose about 20-25 pounds and need to track food everyday to do that. So thankful that this group was created! Have a great day everyone!

1. My personal goal:
Practice intermittent fasting throughout the month and get a better mastery over this new tool.

2. VGS on 2/6/19. Still losing. 80 pounds gone, 20-25 to go.

3. CW: 166.8 (taken last Thursday) BMI is 26.2

4. Will choose easy because the first half of this month is going to be beastly for me

5. Favorite flaw:

I enjoy eating on the same leftovers for days on end because it’s just easier that way. Ironically, even though I’d spent so much of my life MO, I’m not a foodie at all. Simpler is better.

Squats done.

Caught up with a friend yesterday.

Do I love or loathe exercise.. Depends on the day and the exercise. (Although I loathe strength training most days) I don’t dislike working out and being active now that I’m at a healthy weight. It’s much easier to do and I find myself getting up and doing things when I’m bored vs just watching tv.

I’m the old lady shooting hoops in my driveway now.

B-Side Question: Do love or loathe exercise ?*judgement free zone*
Squats done.

Side B question: Love or loathe exercise?

I like spin class A LOT! I miss it now as I heal from recent surgery. After a while, cycling becomes important for my mental health. It is the one area where I'm not someone's mom, wife, daughter, sister, Doctor etc. I'm just in my zone with some camaraderie with fellow spinners.

Do I love all other exercises? No. I detest muscle class but I'll make myself like it as I return to the gym and just maybe it becomes tolerable. I've read enough on this forum to know it helps a lot.

I can tolerate the treadmill, stair steppers, rowing but I don't LOVE them. Not sure if I'm making any sense 🤷‍♀️[emoji53]

Do I love or loathe exercise. I used to loathe it. Mostly because I never felt I got the feel good endorphins just pain and exertion. Pushing around a 153kg body is never fun.

Now I want to be hella more active coz I know I will feel good afterwards. At the actual time of exercise not so much 🤪

Awwww shucks thank you. I couldn't do it without you. I'd like to give a big shout out to my agent who made it all happen, and the director was a dream to work with. To my fellow nominees, this one's for you.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
