Day 10: skipped abs exercise. Was my daughter's 9th birthday so we went out after school for froyo and I got myself lowfat one..it felt like pampering [emoji2]

Day 11: abs done!
I'm in a stall now so bummed a bit so read out Baristatic inspiration quotes several times and felt better.
Totally encouraged by @Sheribears great new too!

I love a lot of things about myself but won't say it out loud 🀣🀣

What would I do with extra $1K? Add it to my travel funds and add extra spa sessions to whatever I had going. Without sounding completely self absorbed, I'll also most likely give some to anyone that needs it more than I!

Pamper: I got a manicure, I can’t recall the last time I did that. I feel very shiny lol

Going to a Vegas/casino theme party so we’re getting all dressed up tonight. The food sounds amazing and looks like a lot of good choices will be available. I’m the designated driver so no added calories!

One of the things I love about myself is that I don’t talk aloud about the things I love about myself.

Can’t wait to see what you wear to the party.

We had so much fun at the Casino party, I killed it in Texas Hold’em! Gambling with fake money is a lot more fun.

B side. What would I do with an extra $1000? Put it in the never ending home repair, upgrade money pot. This month is a new central air conditioner (5k), which wouldn’t be so bad except we have had to replace every. single. appliance. In our house the past year.

Relax with a movie today.,.The Breaking Bad movie is on Netflix so I’m watching that tonight, not sure how relaxing that will be but I’m stoked to see it.

I’m also trying to talk my husband into going to the Haunted Quarry in our town tonight.

Off to do abs! (I’m not the biggest fan of the side leg ones lol)

12. Well, I was a day late but I watched A League of Their Own last night. Still haven't had a bubble bath but did enjoy a nice hot shower. I have to say though, on Saturday night, I took myself to a concert and thoroughly enjoyed myself - I could definitely count that as pampering myself (I saw Ray LaMontagne). Also on Saturday was lunch with friends and a trip to the gym. 13. I did happen to randomly clear out my emails and move things to folders where appropriate so that works. I also took the pups to the beach for a walk yesterday and later went to the gym where I had time to do as much as I wanted. 14. Here we are...rather lazy overcast day so far but I'm headed to the gym shortly where I will get to do cardio and abs (although not Abs Anywhere) but still abs. I've been bad about those Abs Anywhere.

BSide: With an extra $1000, I'd probably split it. 1/2 towards bills and 1/2 towards something fun for me....like maybe some new clothes or a trip somewhere.

Happy Holiday whatever you might call it.

Day 14

Skipped yesterday but completed Abs anywhere on Saturday and just completed for today after spin class with the most awesome and inspiring instructor!! It was amazing so come home with energy to complete my ABs exercise without stopping!!!!! Further confirmation of head space work [emoji57]

Went to a wonderful work charity gala over the weekend so pampered myself before getting dressed. I wore an outfit that a year ago will be the furthest thing from reality!! It felt amazing and I couldn't but thank God for the gift of this tool!!

My email is truly always organized because I have a touch of OCD[emoji38]. I'm the person that has no unread message alerts of any type in my email [emoji19]

I'll work on the grooming thing later on today. Daughters and I are having a very lazy fall break day!! Switched my gym tshirt after workout and went about the day till covered in my sweat[emoji6][emoji4]

β€œGroom yourself” cracks me up for some reason. I showered and brushed my hair, there ya go. No yoga, I’ve tried it, just not for me.

Hardest conversation. Not sure, I avoid conflict like the plague.

15. Hah, I actually did some Abs Anywhere last night while I was watching my dogs in the yard. This morning I made it to the gym and did my cardio. I have yoga tonight for 3 hours so that takes care of that challenge today. :)

Bside: I have to say, I have lots of challenging conversations on a daily basis because that's the nature of my work.

      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.
