All 3 goals met today!

@kspot42 You’ve got this!

It has helped, for sure.  But to be real, I’m counting the days until through is over because I am not enjoying this water thing!  Maybe in the next 9 days ill learn to like it. Either way, more water has become habitual.

I definitely think this challenge has helped. My weekly goals before this challenge were to get my liquids in everyday. I was struggling with that. Now I’m hitting my liquids goal consistently.

As for the no eating 60 minutes before bed, I’ve learned that I have to have it no farther out than 30 minutes or I’ll be awake in the middle of the night…[Read more]

I’m tired today and have no idea why. But, steps are done, liquids are almost done.

Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake mix with coffee and heated up

Lunch was some homemade chicken salad and some apple

Dinner will be meatloaf and green beans

And bedtime will be early!

Interesting stuff…Reeger said reactive hypoglycemia often starts 2 to 3 years post op, which is right where I am. She also mentioned juice, which reminded me that the Bai had 5% juice. That may explain it!  I’ll still follow up with the doc to be safe.

I need to hear this ever so often!

All 3 goals met – WOOT!  72 oz on the nose

80 ounces in, unplugged most of the day. I ended up having to get up and have a snack not long after I went to bed last night. I had my snack just before bed so I could sleep through the night, but before I made it to bed, my husband and I had an unexpected adventure. He was out back letting the dog have one last trip to do her business and caught…[Read more]

Awesome – thanks, I’ll do that.  This is a totally new thing, so maybe it’s some kind of build up or just a change in my crazy chemistry.

About 50 ounces again today. Stopped eating at 7:15 and an hour device free.

My non-negotiables  :

my walking. I need to not only for exercise but to reduce stress

My vitamins and supplements

my liquids

at the moment, grains and starchy carbs (other than dried beans)

The last item is due to the fact that I have learned the hard way that not only do those cause me to have a rapid weight gain with a very small…[Read more]

I’m finishing up ounces 61-80 at the moment. I’m quite sure I will be having more throughout the rest of the day as it’s just 3:20 here.

I’ve been unplugged for several hours already today.

My eating was all out of whack yesterday with the birthday party. Dinner was early and I didn’t eat much. Actually, I didn’t eat much at all yesterday. Which…[Read more]

Thanks – I did put a call in to my dr.

Here are a few:

Going more than 2 weeks between visits with my trainer (I occasionally skip one week due to travel or her availability)
Taking vitamins (multi, B complex, iron, calcium)
Annual bariatric follow up visits
Pre-planning/logging my meals for the work week
Weighing in at least once a week and changing something if I’ve gained…[Read more]

Wow, that’s impressive!

Met all except the water yesterday, coming in at 58 oz.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m in recovery mode. It was close to 100 degrees here yesterday and part of my grandson’s birthday party was held outside. Today I’m running errands and catching up with the laundry that I usually do on the weekend.</p>
Breakfast is a Celebrate chocolate mint shake (I think that I have become seriously addicted to to…[Read more]
