Has anyone chosen to do martial arts over a gym membership? If so, what type of martial art did you take and do you still enjoy it? I can't seem to get motivated for the gym but taking a class sounds like fun especially if I can get my hubby on board!

I agree SweetRide1. I had my first experience of someone acting out over my recent big weight loss a few weeks ago. I had the belief that people would treat me the same way I would treat them if the role was reversed. Honest and supportive! Not so. It did throw me for a loop, but in thinking and talking about it with one of my true supportive friends it made me realize that I have to be mentally prepared for these things to happen because people do react in different ways. Bye toxic friend!

Good morning :)
My to-do list keeps growing so I'm going to try to knock out a few items today. I have avocados to use up -- I found a quick sale bag with four for $1. Seemed like a good deal but I didn't have a plan. I also have some milk whey to use. I have never baked with whey so I need to look up recipes. We made Greek yogurt on the weekend which turned out quite nicely for our first try. But now I have about two cups of whey to do something with.
QOTD: I bought way too many things... I also ordered things on behalf of my grandma so I will have a lot of deliveries coming up. I got a gift for the little nugget and some super exciting cleaning things lol.
Post-op three years and eight months.
Breakfast 1 - oatmeal bites
Breakfast 2 - protein bar
Snack - Greek yogurt and blueberries
Lunch - beans and pork
Snack - carrots and PB
Dinner - braised ribs and veggies
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Good morning everyone! This mornings weather was certainly not motivating nor inviting. I wanted to stay in bed. However, I got my arse up and went to the gym for some cardio. My walking buddy doesn't bring his stuff on Monday's so we never get a lunch time walk in.
Accountability - Back on track
QOTD - didn't buy anything on Friday but did order my Trucker a collapsible rake for the camper today for Christmas
B - 1 egg, 1/4 cup turkey sausage crumbles, 15 gr shredded cheddar
S - 175 gr PC Greek Yogurt, 2 oz blueberries
L - 4 oz shredded chicken on 2 mini tortillas with sour cream and shredded cheddar
S - 4 slices deli turkey, 1 cheese stick
D - haven't decided, likely more shredded chicken or leftover chicken stirfy
Without dinner I'm at 906 calories, and 88 protein. Feeling good about today.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
I had my surgery in Hamilton last February and about a month after my surgeons appointment I hadn't heard anything so I went into Meagan's desk and she booked me on the spot with my choice of dates and surgeons.

Congrats on your success. I don't think 97 pounds in one year is slow at all. I had my gallbladder out in the summer and can agree after having 3 children this pain was worse. I think because it was constant. Good luck.
