I'm Alive!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, my life and work has been so busy, I can't find the time! But here I am, catching up with you, whoever you are. LOL.   So, after reading my last blog entry, and the whole Adipex situation, I was definetly over-reacting. I've been taking Adipex since the last blog entry and have lost 21 lbs. I don't feel jittery anymore, but also I don't feel hungry. I eat three meals a day, my calorie intake is less than 1000 calories a day and I'm okay with that! I do

So Confused (And Jittery!)

Went in for my fill yesterday, was down 6lbs since my last fill on February 27th. I was feeling good about that until the APRN who does the fills comes in, she decides that she wants me to lose more weight and put me on Adipex. She gives me a fill and tells me to come back in two weeks to follow up from the Adipex.   I was very on the fence about this, I could've taken Adipex years ago, I didn't want to. Does this MDs office have some sort of weight quota they have to meet per year??? If I

Back From The Conch Republic

Well I'm safely back at work after an amazing week in Key West. The weather was beautiful it literally rained 5 minutes one day and was sunny for the rest of the week. I did okay food wise, not a lot of snacking but a lot of big meals (and two slices of Key Lime Pie!).   Let's see, highlights of the week. The flight down was smooth, no problem at all, had a looong layover in Fort Lauderdale, it was boring! They had a Chili's with a very limited menu and I hate Chili's but I was starving, s

A Way Better Day!

So enough crying and whining yesterday--today was a new day and I think I did alright! I had some scrambed eggs, a hash brown and also got some pink grapefruit that I couldn't eat. I think tomorrow I'll cut out the hash brown, it was a little gross. Had my kashi cereal for lunch and I just discovered these AWESOME chips that if I can find them in single serving size at the grocery store I'm going to pick up, because 75 cents a pop at the vending machine is a little expensive. They are from H

If I Could Kick My Own @$$ Right Now I Would!

So my whole thing this week was I was going to go on a liquid diet before vacation to kind of balance out all the potential crap I'm going to eat next week. Well, yesterday was WONDERFUL! Not! Two protein shakes and a fight with the dbf gave me the worse migraine I had since before my surgery! I was so nauseous I wanted to throw up but I couldn't, ugh. So I took two advil and closed the blinds in my family room. Okay so two protein shakes, a handful of pretzels because I thought it was my

What A Weekend

The luck of the Irish was definetly not on my side this weekend! Sorry I didn't blog on Friday, nothing really exciting going on lol. This weekend food wise was uneventful ate like crap like always, then regret it later, then realize that it wasn't that much food. Going on a liquid diet today until friday to amp up the weight loss. Having a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and a low-cal/high protein dinner. I'm eating/drinking 530 calories a day. Starting another week (I've lost count

Oh Yeah, So That's How It Feels--I Forgot!

Three funny things happened last night after work:   1) I realized how tense I was when I'm running, so I just said to myself "relax stupid" and the tension from me grinding my teeth all the way down to my feet just kind of untensed and I had no headache yesterday yay!   2) I made General Tso's tofu. IDK I'm just not really interested in food anymore. Had three bites, threw the rest out even spit out what I was chewing and ate steamed broccoli instead (my crack). Also my mom gave me a sub

Ouch!

Yesterday was uneventful, work ended up being crazier than ever, left a lot of stuff kind of "in the air" in regards to insurances and this morning it was nice to see all those surgeries cancelled lol. Today is a light day, still going to try to catch up so that I don't leave my co-workers with a ton of stuff to do while I'm away.   Today is looking to be a great day. Might run on the track again. I think I hurt my back running without a treadmill on Monday, I was definetly tensing up. My

What A Beautiful Day Yesterday!

Yesterday it was absolutely beautiful in my neck in the woods! So, I decided to start week 3 of c25k at the local outdoor track at the middle school. I did pretty good had to stop a couple of times, but I had the worse headache towards the end. I realized it's because I was tensing up my neck and shoulders and basically grinding my teeth. You run completely different when you're on a treadmill vs when you are off (well I know I do!) but the workout went by quick and it was just a wonderful w

Monday Is Back

Well we made it to Monday. This was a tough Monday because of Daylight Savings Time. Totally forgot to replace the batteries in my smoke detector. It's on my grocery shopping list now!   This weekend was pretty hectic. After I got out of work, I walked with a group of women that I take the train with from my job to the train station, which is probably about 1/2 mile walk it's just in a dangerous neighborhood--safety in numbers. I wasn't out of breath and walking a lot faster than the othe

We Made It To Friday!!!

Well, Friday is here, and two weeks from now I'll be getting ready to go on vacation! Woo hoo!!! So excited about that. Oh yeah and I'll be getting my hair done too that day yay.   Yesterday after my vent things were fine, went home had dinner and decided next week when I make the general tso's tofu not to add that 1/4 cup of rice to the equation. Only the tofu and the broccoli bc the rice may come up next time lol.   Today I had an egg white omlette with veggies and cheese I'm going to

Today's A-Ha Moment

The reason I've become obsessed with my weight loss and excercise is because it's the only thing I can control in my life.....   For example:   I rent, instead of signing a lease for another year in February, because I was SOOOO optimistic that my dbf and I were going to be moving in together this year (more on that later) I told my landlords that I wanted to go month to month. Literally at any notice I have 60 days to move. They wouldn't do that, they love me, they always stop and visit (

Delayed Restriction...yup I Haz It!

I got my last fill (a total of 2.75 ccs in a 4 cc band on February 27th). This morning actually just now, I had a crustless quiche (which is 1/4 of a pie plate about a cup total) it has eggs (duh) deli ham, swiss cheese and onions and yesterday I probably could've eaten more. Today right now at this moment if you put another slice in front of me I'd probably push it in your face and make you eat it (in a loving way though, because I love you whoever you are). So, yesterday when I was thinking

Pictures

In December of 2011 a bunch of my friends and I went to NYC to go to Rockefeller Center and do the whole touristy NYC thing (I've lived literally an hour away from NYC my whole life and have never done anything touristy there! So if anyone wants to visit and needs a tour guide don't ask me, I have no clue!). So anyway, we took a picture of the four of us. That was when I was at the weight that I realized I gained 30 lbs since having my gall bladder taken out (314 lbs). The picture sits in my

Weekends.....

This weekend was horrible as always food wise for me. But someone who I cannot stand put something into perspective, I have to thank her for that (the witch lol).   Friday was my usual day of egg white omlette, tuna sammy on multigrain, and then for dinner my dbf and I went out for Mexican. Hindsight is 50/50 after we went out to dinner on Friday I felt like crap but to think about it, it wasn't that bad. I had two margaritas chips and salsa, then shrimp enchiladas with no sauce it was bas

Friday Is Here!

Well I finally made it to Friday! Nothing much to report. Back on solid foods today. Had my usual egg white omlette and it was soooo good and I actually feel quite satisfied with it. We'll see how long that lasts lol.   Plans for the weekend: Friday night dbf and I are getting together probably order take out watch a movie. Saturday morning going grocery shopping, doing laundry. Then I have my friend's son's birthday party at 5pm, then I have to go to dbf house again and go to his roomma

Just Another Day

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I did day two of c25k I really hate it, but I have to do it, I'm not giving up! I'm going to run around that darn airport next Easter (2013) if it literally kills me!   Still on mushies. Yesterday I had 1/2 cup of egg beaters and a 1/2 cup of corned beef hash for breakfast. For lunch I had two packs of the tuna salad to go (starkist? They're only like a 100 cals each) for dinner I had canned crabmeat with a little mayo and some cheese on top put it in the micro

Mushies.....

Today I'm back on mushies yuck tomorrow mushies too lol. Yesterday went to the gym did some weight training nothing crazy just 5lb free weights see if I notice a difference in weight loss.   Nothing else really to report, suppossed to snow this afternoon into tomorrow a whole inch ohhhh so scary   What really annoys me lately is recipes with no nutritional info lol. But I just have to figure it out myself got to make a grocery list for next week. No more Chobani I'm sick of it! Maybe so

Mds Appt Yesterday, C25K Start And Skinny Bucket List!

Yesterday I went to my lapband doctor for a fill. Now, I'm an old timer with a 4 cc band, so when I see you guys getting a whole cc in a fill I'm thinking to myself "lucky" before my fill yesterday I had 2.5 ccs in a 4 cc band. Today I now have 2.75 ccs in a 4 cc band. I asked why such small fills, and was told that it will make me keep coming back gotta love doctors lol. But on a good note, since my last doctor's visit I lost 7 pounds and am at 288 lbs. 8 lbs to where I was when I had my

Would You Like Some Cheese With The Whine????

This morning I went on a rant in the forums about my Friday night. Now I'm over it, and I don't care. I finally broke down and called my mom and told her what happened. My mother, who grew up in the 1960's and was what the kids call today "straight edge" probably gave the best advice: "get over it, clubs have been doing this for years, they want a certain 'look' and if you don't fit that look either pay or go home" whoa mom! How do you even know about clubs in the first place? Actually she

Fill Fun On Monday!

I know I'm obsessing too much about things when I have dreams about them. The other night I had a dream that my boyfriend's roommate (who is a female, and don't worry her bf lives with them as well) went over to my boyfriend's mother's house to drink and my boyfriend decided he'd rather do that than hang out with me. Now he knows that his roommate bothers me (which she does, that could be a whole blog for another day) and it bothers me that I still haven't met his mother (but yet the roommate

One Day Closer To Friday

Nothing new to report here from my neck of the woods. Totally unmotivated to go to the gym yesterday, but I did it, brisk walk on the treadmill for a half hour and I was sweating, sore today. Going back to the gym again tonight.   This weekend is going to be tough. Tomorrow night is my friend's birthday party at the casino--so nervous about that and what/how I'm going to eat. My two best girlfriends who are going (one is the birthday girl the other is another good friend) know that I have

Hump Day!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Happy to report that the cat is fine, he was a little constipated now he's back to eating like an obese kitty lol.   I thought I would eat chobani every day for the rest of my life, not going to lie I'm a little tired of it. Going to try some new breakfast recipes to bring to work.   I found a recipe online to make crock pot falafels I'm definetly going to make those for lunch in a couple of weeks, cannot wait to try them I love falafels!   Does anyone pinterest

Feeling Some Sort Of Way

Usually I'm very positive, today I'm feeling like such a debbie downer, my cat hasn't really eaten that much today, which worries me. Then at work, complete strangers are just plain rude to me (and I'm not a rude person at all, but I guess my sunny disposition really pissed them off. I'm almost at the point of finishing up my work for tomorrow and calling it a day today (boy the migraine excuse might work because I feel one coming on lol).   I just want to make sure my Buddy (the cat) is oka

Weekend Roundup

Ohhhh I was such a bad bandster this weekend I'm not going to even get into it, started with margaritas (4 of them) Friday night and went sort of downhill from there. I realized that I cannot take a vacation from eating right, but I also realize on the weekends I don't eat like I normally do (three meals a day 5 hours apart) and that's where the trouble starts.   New goal for this weekend: FREAKING EAT MAN!   Saturday was quite busy. I went to my local day spa and got my first Brazilian, n
