Good morning all
Last night was a gym night and he kicked my butt with a bunch of dead lifts. On a positive note my clothes are too loose and scale is moving in the right direction so it's all worth it. Tonight I plan on just chilling and meeting my parents for dinner.
B - greek yogurt, sweet potato crackers
S - egg bites
L - chicken skewer, deli turkey, salad (weird combo but I only have one skewer left)
S - protein bar
D - likely broasted chicken, veg
S - SF apple sauce
That is pretty funny but now you are in the "mode" so good luck tonight!
Good morning (afternoon)
Long weekends are always for camping for our family. This year, I will be passing on taking part in the alcohol beverages lol.
Funny story - yesterday I decided to get back to the gym after not going in over 4 months. I find a step class, have a quick dinner, get dressed and went to the gym.. even got there 10 minutes early. So proud of myself, only, there was no class.. showed up at the wrong gym 
Wish me better luck tomorrow!!
Good morning peeps!
It's rainy here this morning but I hear we have a sunny warm long weekend coming up. I am planning on heading to an annual homecoming celebration that happens yearly and is a lot of fun. They always have a parade, classic car show, baseball games, live band and plenty of good food. I'll just have to pace myself and make sure I go for ribs or something with lots of protein.
QOTD: What do you like to do on Labour Day weekend? An event or just relax at home?
B - greek yogurt, 1 egg bite (i added a bit of taco seasoning when i made them and they are yummy.. tex mex)
S - turkey pepperettes
L - chicken skewers, salad
S - protein bar
D - protein shake, deli turkey (after gym session with trainer)
S - 1/2 fresh peach/graham cracker
First few days are awful, congrats on getting through them! Keep yourself busy and don't let your head hunger get to you now. You are doing great.. This is the hardest part of the journey and you are almost through it!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing. As a newbie, I love reading the 'real' stories of peoples ups and downs. I'm 2 months out and currently struggling to remember to take my vitamins. I also have the bad habit of 'all of nothing'. Your 'challenges' section just motivated me to renew my effort in getting them all in. Good luck on your continued success!
Thank you, you are an inspiration!
Referred January 7/17, Orientation Humber May 28/17, Meet Dr. August 4/17, TRIO November 3/17, Internist November 21/17, Surgeon again December 21/17, Pre-op assessment January 4/18 and Surgery January 12/18.
I'm on day 4 of Optifast. Day 1 was OK, day 2 was non-stop headache, day 3 diarrhea. Today I have been feeling good and thought the most difficult days of adjustment just might be coming to an end.
But thoughts of just throwing in the towel and eating what I want are creeping in this evening -- to the point of questioning even having the surgery.
I see my family Dr tomorrow, so no way am I going to give in tonight. [She's a great cheerleader for me]
Have others struggled with these thoughts on the run up to surgery?
Even though I am hungry, I also struggle to drink the 4th shake of the day. Push myself b/c I know I need the protein.
On a positive note, I love my homemade chicken stock - and who would have guessed iceberg lettuce tasted so great!
