In need of a change of pace? Overwhelmed by current events? Here's a physical challenge for challenging times. It has been proven that exercise can reduce anxiety (https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-exercise-help-treat-anxiety-2019102418096 ) so maybe a distraction is needed in these exhausting times.

Do only what you are comfortable with, even if it mean just watching while laying on the floor. Feel free to set physical goals or follow along in anyway you prefer. If you are interested, please join me in also leaving a bit of positive news daily (no matter how small)

Stay strong & we will get through this, together

Hope, Peace and Blessing to everyone ❤

Paula Koelemeijer, a seismologist from the UK, is noticing shifts in the natural world. While using her personal seismometer, she has noted that there is "a sharp decrease in the vibrations produced by human activity" ❤

I miss having a monthly “challenge” of some sort. It helps drive a sense of community and keeps me more engaged. I was thinking of self care, creativity, fun picture challenges, etc..

Anyone have any ideas or interest?

      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.
