I'm Losing It!

Wow! It's been a hot minute since I've posted. But I wanted to check in... on 6/29 I weight 181.   Today I weight 173. It's only a difference of 8lbs. I don't care! It's 8lbs GONE and for good!   I'm feeling great and I'm able to buy clothes I hadn't been able to wear in a very long time.   I do watch what I eat and I also work out. But I'm not in a competition with anyone. I've lost a total of 67lbs. November 14, 2010 will be my 3 year bandiversary. And I'm confident that I'll b

Happy New Day & Happy New Me!

SO yesterday was a crazy effed emotional day for me. But I pressed on and still WENT to WORK OUT! That was GOOD for ME because I'm an emotional eater. Since I had packed all my mini meals for the day I didn't venture off NOT once! I didn't drink as much water as I had wanted though it doesn't really matter.   Yesterday is gone and who knows what tomorrow will bring. All we've got is TODAY so make the best of it!!!

Argh! Frustrated with Mother Nature!

You know sometimes I wished that "time of the month" would just come some other time!! Seems like I always manage to bloat up 2-3lbs right before I start. Not to mention my feet start to drag, I get mad sugar/salt cravings, and turn into a rotten brat!!   I've been working out real good, eating good and feeling good and then just two days I ago I noticed I was getting irritable over nothing. And it hit me yesterday... probably because I was fighting with myself to go to the gym.   SERIOUS

3lbs down! YUPPI!

I'm so freaking excited! I woke up this morning and weight myself I was 181! That's 3lbs down this past week. Whoot! Whoot! Doin my happy dance!   I want to reach 170lbs by August 14. Secretly pulling for August 3rd cause that's my 40th birthday. I've not been 181 since 10 years ago when I got divorced, wow! And back then I thought I was fat. Today heck no I feel GOOOOD! And I actually look better if I dO say so mYselF! lol   Off to the gym tonight to start my week 3 of my Couch to 5K p

We All Need Loving Support!

So I was thinking back to when I first got my band (11/2007). WOW, that was almost 3 years ago. At that time I was living with a man that was very unsupportive. From the day of surgery he argued with me about having it done. But I was determined because it is what I wanted. And heck who was he to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body!!   He made it very difficult for me to stay on track. Always offering me fattening sugary foods... "slider" foods that were easy for me to get down.

Me & My Stretched Pouch

I'm almost 3 years out and I have absolutely no complaints about my band. Yes, I've managed to stretch my pouch and it's not been fixed. I went to the doc and he offered GASTRIC. Eh-eh! That's not an option for ME! If I had wanted that I would've done that in the first place.   Then I spoke with the nutritionist and she said that I should increase my protein to above 60+, and come back in a month. If by then I'm not able to lose weight then I should seriously reconsider gastric. This was

Getting In Tune With YOU!

Okay so today I weight myself and I'm at 184.8. Does that mean I'm 184 or 185? I hate the scale sometimes. :smile:   Alright here are my confessions from yesterday's "plan"... I SAAAAID I was going to eat this:   B Protein Shake S Greek Yogurt L Cream of Chicken soup with corn S Small apple and peanut butter D 1/2 Chicken Breast and 1/2 sweet papa S Protein Shake   But this is what I ended up having:   B Protein Shake S 1/2 cup refried beans and cheese L 1 cup cream of chicken so

My dear friend, clear your mind of I can't! - Sam Johnson

I've never been one to keep a blog. I love to read other people's blogs though. I just get a lil' sad when they all of a sudden disappear from the face of the earth. So I'm going to make the effort to not let that happen. At least I will let you know if I decide I want to stop.   Here's a bit of my story: I was banded November 14, 2007. This November will be my 3 year bandiversary. :tongue2: Since being banded I've lost as of today a total of 55lbs. I'm 5'2 1/2" and my starting weight was
