❄DEC 2019 CHALLENGE❄



Recommended Posts

Minor things that send me into a tailspin. Being late, I HATE being late.

btw, I changed my avatar, I looked at my Fitbit the other night and screen capped this and it cracked me up.

Day 4: I don't really have a bucket list for this month. Overall there are a few things I want to do but I guess i need to think about it more.

Day 5: Meditation for me is prayer. I did do some of that yesterday while I driving. I always feel a weight lifted after prayer.

Day 6: I'm hoping to go to Starbucks after work. I could use a very berry refresher :)

B-Side Question: What minor things send you for a tailspin?

Being put into a situation where i have to rely on other people.

I didn’t go to a cafe but I’ll probably go to the charming one near my house next week. It had a pipe burst so they had to temporarily close, I think the reopening is soon.

I’m going shopping in Naperville today but I’m not opening my windows in route, it’s pretty chilly here!

B side. Hydration in winter. I prefer room temp Water in winter so I keep my Brita pitcher on my countertop.

My hubby and I were in traffic today and I saw someone driving with their window down and I was like, Oh yeah! So I rolled my window 😃 I think I am doing these out of order.

Day 5.
I did a guided imagery meditation while in spin class and I was rudely awakened by the next jarring music change!

Day 6:
I went to the cafe at my job and got some sugar free Chai tea and it was actually quite good!

Day 7:
Drove with my windows down inadvertently as I let a tiny fart slip and my daughter acted like she was going to die![emoji13][emoji13] The breeze was amazing!![emoji3]

Yoga poses continue and I slowly realize I need to desperately work on my flexibility!!🥴

Hydration in the winter: I took a recommendation @greentealeal gave in a different topic and truelemon has been helping me get over 64oz liquids daily which is a ++++ in my book!!

What do you value most about yourself?

I value myself as I am an empath, I can get along with anyone and see the good in people.

I will create a bucket list today!

      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.
