restarting

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying... or so I read.   Ok I've gained 20# back but I have stopped smoking (again) Yeah! So today I'm restarting using the 5 Day Test Pouch guidelines My SF jellos are setting up in the fridge Got my protein drinks chilling and my Hummas Soup is finishing up in my pressure cooker I am geared to go and determination to go forward is face front   I am getting back on track nothing can rem

Holiday Hum Bug LOL

((Sung to the tune of Jungle Bells.. kinda)   Dashing through the party trying not to eat so hardy running to the pot feeling not so hot   PBs always there my face makes people stare what fun it's not to eat a lot when holidays are there   OHHHHHHHH Oh my gawd oh my gawd I've done it all again I ate something that now is stuck I swear this never ends   the pain makes me not breath burping does not relieve Don't eat that stuff it won't be rough just watch and you will see

the yucky parts

well hello again   today I'm going to address my experiences with Power Burping and Sliming...   nothing is worse than eating too fast or not chewing good enough..   set the fork down and let the bite hit the bottom.. SLOWLY take your bites and CHEW CHEW CHEW like there is no tomorrow   anything other than that you get to experience sheer agony of feeling like a gorilla is dancing on your chest and tennis balls are stuck in your throat threating to choke the very life out of you

It's been awhile

yea I know I haven't posted in a while   been busy yada yada   so here's where I am I had my first fill yesterday 07/17 WOOT!   everyone has this spot or spots that you can really judge how well you are losing weight mine is this a space above my tookus which is getting smaller and smaller and there were 2 creases at the back of my arms that used to be behind my arms are now in my pits... ~GRINS~ yea it comes down to butt and pits for me   I've not been doing everything I'

Mushie Madness

Whey a Minute Puddin'   that is the name that flashed my mind when I tasted it for the first time. it struck me as so funny it just SCREAMING to be used... this goop or pudding or whatever it may be, can be something as a great, quick protein snack it can quell a chocolate crave or even can be something elegant and spiced for Holidays   ok it came from a result of "playing" with my food..I love to do my own twisted version of fusion cooking.. so I kinda applied it here with what I have

"as the Band Fills" part 2

where was I.. on yea... my experience with the Lapband surgery...   I covered the keys, the gown, the SOCKS with the pissed off alien lifeforms in them and the nurses, the drainers...which brings me to...   my anesthetist   after the drainers left, most happy for extracting at least one bodily fluid from me..   in walks   The Anesthetist   He was a vision, tall, fit, black hair and the bluest eyes, that crinkled just slightly when he flashed a most charming and disarming smile.. h

the con'td saga of "as the Band Fills"

ok this is the extended version of the Reader's Digest post .. it went like this   1. the keys: my hub was so busy taking pictures of me that he shut his door with the ...keys inside.. we got a family friend to take my daughter and her house key to get my car keys so that my hub could get his keys back.. and mind you he locked the keys in the truck at the hospital parking garage.   *insert chopped part so as I am lead into preop there on the foot of my bed was "that gown" you know the o

up up and away

Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky For we can fly we can fly Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful balloon Balloon... Up, up, and away..... The Fifth Dimension   bring a pen , bring a knife..run through the hall with scissors, even a tack what ever you do just DEFLATE ME MORE.. ok yesterday I felt like a Macy's Day Balloon today I feel like the Goodyear BLIMB.. well at least not the Hindenburg Zeppelin yet but

1st Day out

ok here's how it went the reader's digest version   1. My husband locked the keys in the truck but we had a friend to call and my daughter grabbed mine..that was the start   2. Surgery went without a hitch so said the Doc so that's a great thing   3. I could have been home by 4-5pm but I couldn't because for the life of me i couldn't PEE   4. went walking around nurses stations and drank 3 apple juices to "wake my bladder up" and then go sit on the throne and several times I feel aslee

Today is the day

welp it's today I goto the hosp. for my lapband at 10:30am and am scheduled for 1:30pm for the actually procedure yesterday I ran the gambit of emotions (how's this for nervous) I did a in case of death tape..corny I know, not to mention I bawled at the first of it... and laughed a lot through the tears too..   I think I went through the grieving process, anger, bargaining etc etc the whole kit and caboodle over the last 4 days   Today i am ready ready to shed the many layers of viabl

chicken with my head cut off, but my house is clean

No lyrics today just an overdrive of energy I can't sleep, wide awake 2 hrs of sleep in the last night to now   I stayed up all night last night playing World of Warcraft yes, I am a shameless gamer. I even had the pleasure of Beta-ing WoW. Big deal to me..I know go "buh?" now..   anyway I just HAD to get to level 40 so I could get my mount..a black stallion, I'll eventually get an Eleck (elephant) and Cat mounts. I mean I couldn't sleep anyway so hey...:smile:   I play private free se

I can see clearly

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way............... .....I think I can make it now, the pain is gone Otis Redding   and the pain was, well, painful the bass drum finally stopped playing and my eyesight is much better I hate "blinding" headaches where you squint at any bright light to keep your eyes from popping out   after it stormed and everything moved out of the area my headache just disappeared so I'm not hurting in my head or my shoulders an

Ever close your eyes (day 4)

Ever close your eyes ever stop and listen ever feel alive and you've nothing missing you don't need a reason let the day go on and on Wild Child Enya   today I am so very utterly tired sleeping 12 hrs only to awake to the want of sleep again   temples and head feel the rhythmic bass drum gone awry of my heart's poundings neck stiff and aching from staying in one position eyes blurry from waking up from sleeping far too long and feeling like they want to pop out and roll across

The storm calms

Lines join in faint discord and the storm watch brews a concert of kings as the white sea snaps at the heels of a soft pray whispered Intro to Dun Ringill Jethro Tull   it's much better today the body that was rebelling it has not uttered a word of discontent today except a quiet, tiny rumble of "I'm hungry" as my stomach was politely asking for food when I got up this morning   cottage cheese is pretty good with suga

The Body Doth Rebel

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! the body doth rebel..   and it's painful I've forgotten about the "Adkin's effect" you know the one, where the body hits that level of detox and your head feels like it wants to pop off your eyes feel like they are in vices and you pee every 2 seconds   all that sugary and insulin building food and drink is coming out and kicking butt as it does literally even to the curb which is a very, very good upside   I may be in a more giggly state not as tight as I wa
