Not motivated today

Not sure what my malfuntion is but wow I am not motivated to do much of anything! I have so much to do before I leave for Phoenix in the morning and it's just not happening. I even have the munchies supper bad. What am I so stressed out about? GEEZE :cursing:   I actually really want to go for a walk but it is so bloody hot here all the sudden. I don't mind the heat when I have an adaptation period but it went from the mid 60's to the 90's in a matter of a week! Here I am whining about waling

Setting a goal

Today I was walking and decided on a goal for myself.....I can't cut my hair until I reach 140.   This is a biggie for me becuase I'm not into much girlie stuff but I love love love my short sassy hair. It is super easy for me to do and I know that if I have to "do" my hair every single day it will keep me on track from straying. Just a few weeks of dealing with my out of control mop and I will be moving and groving my a$$ extra hard to get the mop off my head!!   I even told my kids and m

A wholy $%&! Batman moment

With my renewed attitude towards my band and my journey I have been really attacking some issues and various things in my life. Durring this process I pulled out old photos of myself some from 20 years ago when I was in High school and some from less than 5 years ago when I was at my all time high of 218 lbs. I was only a bit overweight in my late teens but you can see the extra 10-15 in the pictures. I decided to up the ante in my weight loss journey and put my goal weight to 125'sh from the 14

Not a part-time gig

So I realize that I am 2 years post banding but this weekend it dawned on me my banding is not a part-time gig. I know that my learning curve is a bit handicapped because of the events over the past 2 years and I am just now having the time to evaluate and deal with the changes I need to make...granted this is just an excuse again but I can see how I got a bit lost.   I can't take week-ends off or a "band-vacation" I have to make this a full-time life-time commitment. This is the real deal! I

Having a week

I am having one of those weeks where I just don't want to talk to anyone or be social and I deffinately don't want to put on make-up do my hair and get foofied up....I really want to just hide, put on my grubbies and work in my yard (I did this yesterday and it was heaven) unfortunately I had 2 seperate networking events today and have one tomorrow as well as a luncheon. No hiding for me :mad:   The second event was fine enough ok ok I had a decent time but when I was done I wanted to go home

The blog helps

I'm loving the blogging thing....it sure is nice to have a place to go and write down your thoughts. I don't always have a particular topic I want to ask about or announce in a forum but just want to put it down on paper and for the record I hate journalling, pen to paper writing is not my strong suit but I can type like the wind :crying:.   I'm sitting here listening to my husband snore (as well as the damn dog...I never knew chocolate labs could sound like a freight train) and just enjoying

Hubby asked why?

Hubby was sitting on the couch watching tv and he piped up out of the blue asking why I was so adimant about losing weight? He told me he loved me like I was and that should be enough. I thought about it before i answered...   It has nothing to do with being "skinny" or "celebrity sexy" (granted I really like shopping at stores other than Lane Bryant and for a size almost out of the double didgets) but it has to do with being healthy. Being able to do what I want without restriction because o

Day one of starting over

I think one of the things that I have learned the most over the past 2 years 3 months is that everything changes...that is the only constant. It's how you deal with it that really counts.   I was banded February 10, 2006 my vision in my mind was I would take this band and get to a quick and easy slimmer me. Boy was I wrong! 5 weeks later the love of my life, my husband of then 16 years was diagnosed with Cancer. Can I tell you how overwhelming it is to be a "stress eater" and not be able to e
