🍁 OCT 2019 CHALLENGE 🍁



Recommended Posts

I am very picky about sheets, can’t handle flannel. I’ve been bad at keeping up with the ab challenge! Tomorrow is another day.

B-Side Question:

How do we feel about a back to basics /no exercise component November challenge?

(It would be diet centric, mostly cleaning up habits, carefully tracking, mindful practices & recentering lifestyle before the holiday season hits)

Past week.

Life has been extremely stressful! My nanny/housekeeper needs surgery so we've been back and forth at clinic appointments as she's in a lot of pain[emoji25][emoji25] This is most likely retirement for her! (@Greentealeal, I wish I had your kicking and screaming emoji posted in OOTD thread!!).

Anyhow, I've kept up with my abs everywhere exercise (one of these days when I cough up the courage, I may post a pic of that said abs[emoji85][emoji85][emoji85][emoji85])......ok, may "abdominal area, calling it abs is a stretch [emoji2]
Point being that I've noticed a difference especially as I drop inches. Even my hubs has commented[emoji123]

I'm sorry I've not paid close attention to the self care exercises. I'll do better next month as the upheaval of my life stabilizes[emoji120]

I'm down for next month's "back to the basics" as it's basically where I am [emoji38]

Nice weekend everyone [emoji176][emoji176]

I like Today’s challenge, take a photo walk. Great excuse to get out and see the fall colors here.

24. It was a long work day and when I got home, I learned that my dogs had escaped and run the neighborhood. Apparently, they snuck back under the fence just before I got home. So glad my neighbors told me. So, everyone is now wearing their invisible fence collars including the puppy. I don't remember how I did with social media that day but was barely on it on Friday because I was at a workshop all day.

25. Workshop all day with gym during the lunch break.

26. Workshop all day with gym during the lunch break. Also reached out to some old friends in anticipation of heading home for Thanksgiving. Didn't get a chance to do a photo walk but definitely saw lots of beautiful colors and possibilities driving back and forth to the workshop.

27. Workshop most of the day. Drove through a horrible rain storm and nearly ran out of gas. I stopped at a gym on the way home and that helped me de-stress. I got constructive feedback from one of the assistants at the workshop. Oh, yeah, and did some abs while at the gym.

28. Gym this morning and now work. I've been doing journaling at the yoga training and at the workshop I'm participating in.

B-side: Back to basics sounds wonderful! I feel like I have the exercise thing going on right now between the gym and the yoga. But I'm anxious about keeping things moving on the scale and not falling into bad habits so yes, back to basics really sounds like something I can get into especially with the holiday season and shorter days coming up.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hiο»ΏΒ 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 myο»ΏΒ mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and eο»Ώxcited. 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’mο»Ώgoing 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 healthyΒ food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!ο»ΏSomeone 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.ο»Ώ

        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
