❄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!

      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
