A new day
Protein first, hydrate well and choose healthy snacks!
Remember to exercise and if you can not exercise take a walk. If you can't walk for long, make sure to walk small intervals and slowly add a couple more minutes to your walk when you do. Eventually you will get there.
Have a great day on purpose everyone!
My affirmation for today:
The sun rises in the sky, a brilliant vision. I breathe deeply, relax, and know I can face the day. The sun sets in the sky, a glorious image. I close my eyes, know I did my best today, and prepare for the day to come.
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.

When I first started coming to this board, people would post "feel goodies" and I was like whatever.
I just read this one today and you are right - you must love yourself first.
As for the protein first, hydrate well, mines the opposite at this point.

Welcome to the Loser's bench! Yes right now you have to take things easy. But protein is still first for you. You just will have it in liquid form. It is very important to try to get in as much as possible because it will help you heal faster.
I absolutely love DVR he saved my life and I am so happy that I learned to first love myself! It is the only way to live happy and be successful in our new journeys.
Sip, walk, sip, sip, sip, walk , sip... welll you get the idea. lol
How are you feeling? If there is anything you would like to talk about I am here for you.
Take care and I hope that your recovery is a swift one.

I am so glad that you are doing well. Wow you are doing really good to be able to walk all of Arundel Mills Mall.
Keep up the great work. Make sure to document your progress by taking monthly pictures of yourself, Also it is good to measure your body seeing those inches go is a life saver when you don't see the scale moving.
Keep me posted on how you are doing.
Take care,
