Good Morning!!

How are you and what are you planning to do today to make it a WLS successful day? 

I started the morning thinking about those things I like about my new, slimmer, healthier body: I like the fact that I have a neck :-), I like the fact that my hemochromatosis has been resolved and I don't have to go get a phlebotomy every week, and I like the fact that I can handle heat so much better; 92 now feels like 82 before I lost the weight. Remembering what I appreciate about the way I look and feel really makes it easier to make decisions that help me stay healthy and slim.

I've already taken my first dose of supplements

As soon as I'm done dashing off this post, I'm going to get some lean protein to start my day and remember to start each of my meals/snacks with it. 

This evening Ben and I will take our dogs for another walk as we explore our new neighborhood. It's amazing how you find the hills when you are walking it and don't even see them when driving. 

So, what are you planning for today?

Started my day with a quick protein shake.  Busy in my office all day but will walk my 1/2 mile this afternoon.  (That's huge for me).  Baby steps are better than not taking steps at all  :) 



Hugs,
Jean

Baby steps are huge because they are the beginning.

Enjoy your walk!

Hi Barb,

I took my supliments this morning, more later

Drank a premier protein, it helps me get my protein in.

Top down on the car, putting my bicycle in the back, getting new seat, check up with bike shop so I can ride my bike that has been sitting for years...(bad me)

Costco run later, buy so I can plan out protein at better cost.

Take dogs out on walk... Sierra and Echo, my English Springer Spaniels.

To be thankful I will have surgery, stop freaking out  waiting for the surgery scheduler to call, I am doing my part, so keep focused.

 Well... it's evening now... but I have had a great day!  I have eaten 99g of protein today; taken all my supplements; parked over 2 blocks away from my meeting, just because I wanted to stretch my legs!  I have gotten all my water in... 

This week I have walked over 15 miles!  I am trying to keep it together!

Most importantly... I plan to get a good 8 hours of sleep... and be at support group tomorrow!

DRINKING MY WATER....WALKING MORE.....AMAZING HOW THE BUTT BURNS WHEN YOU WALK UP HILL

Hi Barb,

It's 4:00 am on Sunday morning.  On most nights I am awake by 3:00 am - compliments of menopause and my husband's work schedule.  Anyway, I am doing what I always do this time of the morning.  I have taken my first round of calcium and am drinking a protein shake while reading the latest on ObesityHelp.  Mid-morning I will take my 2.5 to 3 mile walk and help my husband mow the lawn.  Like you, the heat is much more tolerable.  Texas weather can be hot, but since having surgery I no longer hibernate indoors during summer months.  Then this evening I will walk again, if not outside then on my treadmill.  I will probably eat grilled chicken and vegetables for dinner and pinto beans for lunch, but I am not entirely sure.  I do not have the day planned out, per se, but I do plan to spend much of it outdoors.
