Every day has something good in it. Sometimes it's hard to see at first. But once we take a moment we can see that there was likely at least one good thing. Maybe someone you admire told you that you're doing awesome. Or you got a new job. Could be that you got home and your kids cleaned the house...it could happen.
For me, there were several good things about today. The traffic was good coming to the office. The weather was so gorgeous today and I got a nice walk in. Also, not having any "picky pouch" episodes has been awesome.
Your turn!

After a couple busy weeks with doctor appointments, spring break with a chatty kid at home, easter outings, and big family get togethers I'm having a quiet week at home alone and I'm LOVING it. I still have to do our business taxes, but I can listen to my favourite music, drink decaf all day, and I don't have to talk to anyone or answer any questions... bliss!0

I got up when my alarm went off this morning and got in 6500 steps before heading to work. When I got home I only needed 2000 steps to complete my 10,000 for the day.0

Great thread idea!! My daughter has been fighting riding her bike without her training wheels for 2 summers now. Today she got on and rode a mile and a half with me running with her. It was awesome!0

First night of golf league for me. Lots of people who have not seen me since September (80 pounds ago) and who I have known for years. A ton of positive reinforcement from people who are genuinely happy to see me healthier than they have ever seen me. Played a crappy round of golf, but that's irrelevant compared to how I felt seeing my friends.

Yesterday: I timed my 300m swim at 9.5 mins and feel great about it and the sun and water felt really nice.
Today: I put on some Old Navy 44 waist jeans that I bought 4 years ago because they were a good goal and on sale for $5. This is the first time I've been able to put them on. They fit a little snug but they aren't uncomfortable and buttoned easily. Yay!0 -
had to move down from my 3x shirts to the 2x ones, and they're kinda loose. so cleaned out part of the closet by removing all the 3x clothes. luckily I have several different sizes in there cause I hate to throw anything out.0

I enjoyed the archaeological dig through my clothes that I grew out of and never threw out. It was fun to pull out stuff from 10-12 years ago and have it fit or be loose.

I had to buy regular ties, as the XL's are way to long now...love it!0

Got my steps in!
Got my exercise in!!
Hit my calorie goal!!!
Got in a good motorcycle ride!
My son was recognized a national merit scholar!!!!!!!
Most important thing, I took the time to really soak it in and give thanks for all my blessings. I may be the happiest person I know.
It's time to go spread it around!0 -
What wonderful days you all have had!! The "downsizing" and getting your grooves on! Rob hit his goal! Y'all are amazing and inspiring people!
So, today the best thing that happened to me is I am getting a promotion! This means I will also be moving to a different building. I will have a longer commute, but the atmosphere of the new office will make it all worth it. And if I decide the commute is too awful to drive, I will start taking the bus. Such exciting things await me!0 -
This morning's weigh-in has me down 125 lbs since my last pre-op weigh-in; only 41 to go to get to goal. I would say I'm in a damn good mood today. LOL0

I had to adjust my shoe strings! My feet are smaller!! LOL its truly the little things that bring joy to the journey!!

I'm officially on a regular diet today post-surgery! I had a third of a baked sweet potato with butter from Longhorn Steakhouse (no sugar) for lunch- not sure what to try first for dinner but I plan to take things slow. I had someone I hadn't seen in a while compliment me on my weight loss (38 lbs. lost as of today from pre-op clear liquids).
Now if we can just get rid of all the rain down here so I can get out and walk in the evenings, life will be grand.0 -
Thanks for this thread, My family is doing well. My headaches are getting better, I accomplished a lot at work, I am at a plateau with weight loss but my coworker took long to say hello back because she didn't recognize me at first because I've lost so much weight and she said I keep getting skinnier & skinnier. Good times!0

Fit into some old pants today that are 6 sizes smaller than pre-surgery. Also, today is one month since I had the Sleeve. Best thing I've ever done for my health.
Thank you all for the support and good info. 0 -
It's only been a couple of weeks since my surgery and today has been the second day I didn't have to stop what I was doing and take a nap in the middle of the day. It feels so good to be getting my energy back.0

went for two week follow up today, had sleeve on April 1st, no more bp meds -- WOO-HOO0

Yesterday I could finally get my wedding rings off - they'd been stuck on there for the past three years or so. At my highest, I was afraid I was going to have to get them cut off (the rings, not my fingers - haha). Now I can get them cleaned - they're filthy!0

Pretty soon you will need a guard! Keep an eye on them

I woke up and went to the gym this morning. Before having surgery and losing weight, I used to pray that I would wake up. It's amazing to be healthy.0

Congratulations on being cleared for a regular diet, and the compliment. I am sure you're feeling awesome right now. Not sure where you live but here where I am (central Texas) we are thankful for the rain. The lakes are still pretty low. We will take what we can get before summer.cmchandler74 wrote: »I'm officially on a regular diet today post-surgery!

It is amazing isn't it. And we're all so glad you're here with us. {{{HUGS}}}I woke up and went to the gym this morning. Before having surgery and losing weight, I used to pray that I would wake up. It's amazing to be healthy.

My roommate stopped in my room over the weekend said 'Since your surgery, you really seem more energetic and social! I like the change!'
When I got home from work, I stumbled on the curb and fell in the street. Instead of major injury (like every other time I've fallen), I was able to get right up and brush myself off. (My dignity is off in the corner sulking, but I'm fine!)
Today as I was climbing the stairs I had to drop something so I could keep from mooning the same roommate (pants falling off).
It's been a really good week. 0 -
My lowest weight was 222 and I got sloppy over the holidays and gained back 10. I lost 2 and then I've been bouncing between 225 and 230. I was told I was eating too little so I upped calories twice to no avail. I have learned how to do maintainence!! But anyway, on this past Monday, I reduced my calories. Monday the scale said 229. Today it said 227. So two pounds down in 2 days. Yes this could still just be part of the bouncing pattern I've been in since the first of the year, or it could be reducing calories is working. Either way, it was 2 pounds less than Monday, so I'm taking it as a good thing.0
