Challenge...NOT for everyone!
Awesome job! Keep with it lady. I hope your arm feels better very soon and all goes well at the dentist.
Think I need to see a dentist too. Discovered a painful spot on a tooth...arghhhh... Get plenty of liquids and don't leave the veggies out, just keep them low carb veggies! I am right there in the New Atkins - phase 1 (induction) bu****ching fats closer than they call for.
Looking forward to hearing how today goes for you.

Great job Gal! Yeah....Noon in Texas sounds like a real bad time for outdoor exercise. Heck noon here is, and we do not have the humidity! I like to do my walks in the later evening, just when it begins to cool off a bit, but isn't yet dark.
Keep up the good work! See my progress report for today below!

This is a good challenge. I need to drink more water, and probably eat a little more. I cannot attend the lap band support group at my docs office tonight, because I have to work. I could really use the support too. My weight is going down, but I gain a little here and there. I expected a quicker weight loss. I have been walking every day. I started attending weigh****chers meetings for some guidance and support. My doctors office said that my insurance did not cover the surgery. I called my insurance company, and they told me that the surgery and other costs were covered. Thank God for that. Michelle.
so for monday I did well on keeping carbs at bay. Did great at getting in water and crystal light. Did have one more cup of coffee than I intended to, but still not bad. Will space them out more tomorrow to TRY to keep it at 3cups. I am a BIG coffee drinker, so 3 cups a day is great for me.
No walk in today, as the evening ran away from me due to working in the garage we are building. Got in TONS of activity doing that and finishing the planting of the garden so far. I think I didn't eat quite enough today, but never really got hungry until dinner. But i did have some small things to eat periodically ... mostly protein based.
Well it is way past bedtime, more garage work in the morning, and i am whooped! Will check in tomorrow. I wonder if I could have at least lost some water weight today?!? hmmm we shall see in the morning.

Hi to all.
Yesterday I had some things improved and some not so good. I did so much better with my water intake. I had 7 glasses of water compared to 3 or 4 a day that I was averaging. Today I'm going for 8.
Why is exercise so difficult for me to get in each day? Still not sleeping well so always feel tired. If I exercised every day I probably would sleep better too. Will go for a nice morning walk after I finish with OH posting.
Put my food and water intake in the health tracker. Saw way to many carbs by the end of the day. Will improve that today. I eat carbs and then I want more carbs. Will break that cycle today. I really need to set a menu for the week. I used to do that all the time, but it went by the wayside since my surgery. Will work on that today also.
Lots to do today to improve my WLS journey. Will do my very best. I did get every medication and supplement in yesterday. I'm thrilled about that. Baby steps for me too. Looking for good improvement not perfection. I know I can get back on track.
Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday. I'm so happy that we are doing this. I think it is helping me be accountable for my actions.
As always, Mag

Checking in!!! Yesterday was a good day, I was able to get down 32 oz of water (not much but yet a good start). I also took advantage of some free time while my son was at karate practice I got on the treadmill for 30 min and did 200 crunches on the ab machine at the local ymca. Pushing for day to 2 to be even better!!!
Hey there! great job on increasing the water intake and getting in the activity!!! Keep up[ the good work and awesome effort! I too look forwarf to a better day today, and hopefully each day as we go along.

Great job! I am glad you are finding the challenge helpful. Carbs seem to be a challenge for so many. Glad you are logging your intakje and noticed the intake was too high. Meal planning can help tons with that! If you decrease your carbs to 20 or less for 3 days, all carb cravings and excess hunger should go away after those 3 days for the most part. (de-carb).
I have noticed if I push myself to get active, after a few days I feel more energetic and sleep much better. Try just walking 10 minutes. If you can do it, go more, if not, it is 10 more minutes than you would have had. Usually it is just the getting started that is the hard part.
Keep up the great work! YOU CAN DO IT!
