Happy Pre-Holiday, Warriors!

Keeping up with my walking, but not much else. Did have "fun" shoveling snow over the weekend, but not much else going on.

scale is kinda stuck, but clothes are getting looser so I'm semi-happy. :thumbup: Looking forward to a loooong vacation from work - from Christmas Eve (tomorrow) through Jan 4th (Sunday after New Year's). I don't have to go back to work until Jan 5th, so I'm planning a mini-challenge for myself.

I plan to work out EVERY day, with only Sundays off. :thumbup: Yep, I plan to be at the gym on Christmas Day and New Year's Day if they are open, if not, I'll do something at home.

Goal? I want to finish migrating from a size 18 to a size 16 before I come back to work in 2009. My size 20's are falling off and the 18's are getting loose, so I think I can make it. :eek:

Concentration areas? Mostly upper body and abs. I'm okay with my legs for now (nothing some squats couldn't fix) and my abs are really my WORST bodypart right now. :cool2: I also am noticing a little loss of size and fullness with the "girls" so I need to pump up my pecs to keep them up high and perky (or as perky as a 40J can be). :wink2:

Looking forward to a new year and starting a January exercise challenge. Many kudos to all of you dedicated exercisers that give me inspiration and challenge me to keep on going. :tt2::wub::smile:

Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year to all!:w00t:

      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.
