Well, I went to the gym last night. I received a 7 day free trial to the new Gold's Gym that opened up about 1 1/2 miles from my house, so I decided to go try it out. Even though I belong to another gym, which is just 1 mile from my house, I figured a change of scenery might be nice. Well, now I'm thinking about joining the Gold's gym too. It was really really really nice.   I went into the "cardio" room. It is a huge room with a freaken movie theater in it. Its like being at the movies, with

I did pretty good this weekend with my eating, plan on going to check out a new gym tonight. I got a 1 week free membership and I hear they have an awesome, surround sound cardio room with a huge plasma tv.   I went out to eat on Friday night and stuck to my plan, except ended up having a margarrita. yum yum it was good.   Didn't weigh on Saturday or Sunday. Just focussed on eating clean.   Wt 169.0 - I think I'm holding a little water, TOM is due.   Now, my goal for the week is GET TO

Scales are movimg down again! Yay!   I have eaten clean all week, now if I could just make it to the gym, I would be a lot better!   We're going out to eat tonight, and I've already decided what I'm going to eat, so I can be good and eat clean. Its hard too when your going to go eat Mexican. I have decided I will eat 5 chips and salsa, and order the chicken fahitas - which I will split with my hubby or daughter. And I'll get double beans. No flour tortias.   wt - 169.1

Life has been fast paced, haven't had much time to post.   I'm focussing on eating more, but eating the right stuff. I think I haven't been eating enough calories.   I'm also focussing on eating LOW CARB, Low fat, and lower calories.   I either don't eat enought on days, or I eat all the bad stuff. I'm focussing on CLEAN eating.   Wt - 170.1

I got my fill yesterday, then came down with a stomach bug. OOOO I was sick. So dizzy too. My entire family had it, and it was coming out both ends. Except for me, all I can do is dry heave. I've noticed since I've been banded I CANNOT throw up. I just dry heave. I've read where others say they can't either.   Anyhow, after my fill, it was not long before I started feeling ill. I was a little worried because my fill is pretty tight. Anyhow, I just decided to ride it out, well, I was up a lot t

Fill #1 - 3/6/07 - 2.2cc's   Fill #2 - 4/17/07 - 3.0cc's   Fill #3 - 7/6/07 - 3.5 cc's (I think it was only 2.5cc's because when I went back for fill #4, he could only w/draw 1.8 cc's)   Fill #4 - 7/20/07 - filled me back to 3.0 ccs - He should have filled me more!   Fill #5 - 8/17/07 - 3.4cc's   Fill #6 - 10/08/07 - filled me to 3.8cc's - the best restriction I've ever had,but still could eat big bites of food, so I figured I needed to be tighter.   Fill #7 - 11/21/07 filled to 4.0

NO am workout this morning, however, I was planning on going tonight because I will be doing lower body workout. I just cannot do weights in the morning, I need to be awake and have my strength.   I should have got up anyhow and did my cardio. But not going to beat myself up over it, UNLESS I don't go tonight, but thats not going to happen, I WILL GO TONITE!   Wt 170.7 - grrrrrrr

Day 4 of my workouts

Today makes day 4 that I have exercised. Yay. I woke up at 5 am and finally made it the gym. I know that I won't tonight so I did get up this morning. Now I don't have to worry about it because I have my exercise in for the day. I'm so happy I did it.   My eating has been GREAT since Monday. So far, no slips, except 1 peanut butter cookie that I ate over a two day period.   Wt was up this morning, but I know thats what I usually do when I first get to the gym, so I'm not worried about it.

A new month, a new week, and new focus, new goals!   My husband wants to get back to the gym, so we are going tonight. I also went down to the gym today on break and did 20 min on the elliptical machine.   I'm going to focus on exercise this month! I know I say it all the time, but I really really am trying, I don't know why I do so good for a week then fall off the wagon. I think if my husband gets to the gym, that will help to have a buddy.   wt was up a bit this morning 170.6 grrrrrr

I'm back from my week long stay in Miami. Yay! I ate bad bad bad. But only gained 3 lbs, so not too upset over it. I'm back on the wagon.   It's a sad day at work today, one of my co-workers commited suicide Friday after work. None of us saw it coming. He worked until 5 Friday, cleaned out his desk and went home and killed himself. His poor wife found him when she got home. Its so sad. I just can't imagine someone taking his own life, for what? He didn't leave a not behind, no one unde

I'm a BAD girl!

I'm in Miami, Florida on business and just eating all the wrong stuff, I'm so mad at myself! I need to gain control! I do not want to step on the scales when I get home because I know that I've gained.   I MUST get back to the gym when I get home - I don't want to see the 170's again, but I have a feeling I'm back into the 170's. grrrrr. Its my own fault! I need to slap myself and gain control.

Oh yeah, life is good!

Melting away this week, but I'm not complaining. I love being in the 160's. Today I hit an all time low, or the lowest I have been in 18 years! I weighed in at 167.7 - I love it!   My last fill is really working, I'm satisfied on a small amount of food, but yet I can eat anything and don't have problems with PBing. I think this is the "sweet spot", the only thing I kinda have problems with is ice cold drinks, I have to slow down on those.   Yes, Life is good in the band world right now.

Goodbye 170's and hello 160's!

I am saying goodbye to the 170's, and good ridance! I am sick of the 170's! I am so happy to officially weigh in at 169.4 this morning.   I know a lot of it has to do with the fact I was sick all weekend, and barely ate a thing. But hey, I'm happy anyhow.   I also am having really good restriciton these days, might be that fill #13 - but either way, I can only eat a few bites before I am totally stuffed. I love it! I just love restriction and it is soooo hard for me to get it. I mus

Day 4 of my 5 am workouts!

Today makes day 4 of getting up at 4:45, and heading to the gym. I'm happy but tired at the same time. :rolleyes2:   I did sneak in a weight this morning - NOT PLEASED. I would have thought I would be down at least a pound by now, NOT.   Weight - 171.3 - I was 171.9 on Monday! So I'm down .6 - I guess its not that bad, hopefully by Monday I will be down to 170 or 169. If not, I will get there! Just slooooow   I'm going to fair tonight, so that might hinder it a bit. :clap:

I'm going strong with my 5:00 am exercise routine.   Oh how I wanted to NOT get up this morning, matter of fact, I told myself when the alarm went off that I would go ahead and take today "off". I was trying to talk myself out of getting up. As I lay there, trying to go back to sleep, I realized, I was awake and could not go back to sleep.   I drug myself out of bed, jumped into my exercise clothes and headed to the gym. I did 35 min on the elliptical machine. The only bad thing is my

I am feeling good! I got up yesterday morning at 5:00 am - worked out, then last night went back to the gym and did some circuit training while working my upper body.   I went to bed early last night, took an ambien so I would go to sleep. The alarm goes off at 5 am and I'm a little druggy from the ambien, but I forced myself to get up and I hit the gym again. I will also try and go tonight around 8:30 and do 30 min on the elliptical.   I did not weigh this morning and trying to stay off

Well, just got back from FILL #12. I know I said I wasn't going to go, but I lost that restriction. I finally figured out, (DUMB ME) WHY all of a sudden I got good restriction after 1 month of my last fill.   I PB'd, and that made me swollen, therefore giving me good restriction. duh. That lasted 1 week, then it went away. I freaked! I started thinking back and realized it was the PB that gave me restriction. What an idiot I am.   So, I go in for fill #12, I know that just a little mi
