2022 Best Me Challenge



Recommended Posts

What does your “Best Me” in fitness terms look like?
For me it is the feeling of feeling free. Free of the excess weight, free of the constant emotional abuse I have done to my self by telling myself I am not good enough. I am good enough and so are you!
I have done a lot of hard work over the past 6 months to get myself to the place I am in now, but I want more! In 2015 I ran the Buffalo NY half marathon and it was the most freeing experience ever. I am not a runner and I do not like running, but crashing the challenge had me wanting it more then ever! Try something new and challenge yourself!
I am determined to make 2022 my best year ever!
Want to join me? I am setting personal fitness goals such as starting on 1/1/22 running/walking minimum 2 mile per day everyday for the entire year. Working out daily, trying new exercises, working out in new places etc. Share your goals! Share fun workout pics or even amazing backgrounds of your workout areas. You never know who your inspiring! If you need support say something and we can form a group to support and share! Will it be easy, of course not, but can it be fun and life changing, absolutely!

I can honestly say that I've been to the gym every day this year!!!! 😁 (It's only Jan 1)

But seriously, I started back to the gym on Nov. 22 and have been 35 out of the last 40 days (I had a stomach virus for a few days that kept me out) and I feel so much better emotionally and mentally and I'm sure it's going to benefit my overall physical health and weight-loss efforts as well.

We can do this!!

      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.
