Good Morning Amy and Menuers,
Thanks, Amy, for putting it out there. It is what I have been thinking for about the last year. I need to know more about the WL journey. Some people go on and on to the point I don't even read their post because it doesn't help me in the slightest. So, let's jump into it right away.
QOTD: I am very real about my weight lose journey and very transparent posting my weight daily. My struggle is snacking, Alcohol, (Have not had a drink since October 1) Getting munchies from you know. And not finding the time to exercise. I really need to lose at least 27 lbs. to get to a point I will be happy. I am absolutely miserable where I am right now. I know I only have me to blame but I can't just not take the time from my mom. I really feel I need my sleep and waking at 5AM for exercise has not happened. I do know if I woke at 5 and went to bed earlier the snacking would most likely slow since that is when I do the most snacking right before bed. I really want to get my run back. Now how to implement it that is another story.
Accountability: Way too many sweets. I tried but could not resist.
TSS: 6 years 10-months 3-days 167.6 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: Chobani zero sugar Milk and cookie Greek yogurt, snack select
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: eggroll in a bowl
D: ham and bean soup and butternut squash
Exercise: 1/2 mile with Rudy
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great week my friends.
Brightest blessings
Chrissy

I'm glad you didn't get hurt too badly. We all need to be wrapped in bubble wrap!

Amy, I am so glad you did not break anything. Hope the neck feels better soon.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning, everyone!
I had made a long post, but it didn?t go through. Not OH though, more likely our home internet. It seems like whenever the boys have an all-night gaming session, our internet gets messed up.
Suffice to say that I got caught up in the train robbery that you may have seen on the news. I think we were the first commuter train behind the freight train that was robbed. We were never in danger, just a 4 hour commute.
A good weekend otherwise, we made a big chili and I enjoyed Run with the Nuns.
QOTD: 1984 Honda Accord. Typical account car.
Some pictures from Thailand:
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Catered
Dinner: Chili
Have a great day, all!

Wow, deep reflection for a Monday morning. I used to feel more engaged when I was able to post from work throughout the day and now I'm not nearly as active and I don't really have a good reason for that other than I don't prioritize stepping away from my desk during the day where I can sit, read and reply. I do try and walk the walk and I do find value with this group here. I have nobody in real life that has had surgery like we have so I've learned from this group from early on. I'm not sure if that directly answers then question but it's what I got right now.

Good morning ~ Monday, Monday... I had a very productive weekend full of satisfying things I can control in my life. Cleaning organizing, purging, meal planning, grocery shopping, exercise and decent steps! And, connecting with my sister, hanging with the kids and a fantastic long nap - lovely. Not so bueno was when I slipped on cardboard in the garage, I went down hard on my tailbone and slapped my hand so hard on the concrete I though I broke it, but the fall out is a only very sore neck. I'm seriously one lucky girl.
Asking again for a friend:
QOTD - To be real, the main reason I come on OH is for healthy WLS lifestyle support, inspiration and camaraderie - a fun banter day is awesome! Are you getting what you came for? I feel like we are on a huge rinse and repeat cycle. Where are you honestly with your journey? Let's talk about it! Are you walking the walk? Why/why not? What are you actively doing to get there/stay there? If you are in a funk (seriously been there), what is holding you back? Are you searching for work-arounds, stuck or given up? What can we do to support you, good, bad, or ugly?? I hope you you are making an effort with your food, movement, vitamins, water. It's frustrating when I see these basics not planned w/care quotients in the trash. I am trying/struggling everyday to make the right choices to stay on track and know I'm not perfect. I look to all of you for support and I hope I give that back but I could be better. I'm trying like hell to stay consistent and walk the walk - it's what you do most of the time that makes a difference. How about you? What can I do to support you?
More on this, I love the friendships and connections, hearing about your personal life and all the fun and interesting things you do! But I'm here for the WLS support first and foremost, isn't this what this forum is for? I want all of us to share what we are doing and what is working/not working - that is what helps me, motivates me and keep me accountable. Ongoing WLS support/lifestyle.
Accountability - great on food, but add 6 whoppers. I had 40 active minutes (i did get on treadmill both days this weekend) and only 7,590 clocked steps due to my watch battery dying. I'm sure it was in the 10k range. Today I am 171! I think the fall may have inflamed my body. So water basically but I know it's not fat. I will just keep doing what I'm doing.
B- coffee, yogurt, strawberries, protein granola
l - chicken breast, salad kit
d - Chicken thighs, greek yogurt, spanish cauli rice, salsa
s- quest chips, jerky, watermelon, apple
Have a great day!
