My First Fill.

BAHAHAHA! I am so silly! How is everyone? I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been so busy at both jobs. When I get home I just want to work out and sleep!   Confession time..... I don't like needles and yet I pick the surgery that requires needles. LOL   Anyway yesterday I had my first fill and it was not bad at all. I didn't look just relaxed.   I forgot there isn't alot of protein in full liquids.... So I brought some tomato soup and added a 1/2 of serving of plain greek yor

I love my daycare kids

Happy Wednesday How is everyone? I know I haven’t been on here much lately but I’ve been really busy at both jobs. My new work hours have been a real adjustment for me. It has been challenging but I think I have getting the hang of it. I will say this planning my meals has really helped because it eliminates the temptation of me eating fast food and eating junk food at the day care. The Day Care is my trigger because I am surrounded by cakes, cookies, and chips. A few weeks ago I notice

Take time to inspire someone

Happy Monday everyone!   I have been so busy I haven't had time to check in with everyone.   I wanted to share this story with everyone so I will try not to bore you!   When I started my lap band journey I only told my family and my best friends.   As I got more comfortable I started telling everyone!   Today a fellow co worker came up to me and told me that he is getting the lap band because I inspired him.   I was shocked but I was so happy for him.   We had this conversation be

Yeah... I am at a plateau

Yeah I am at a plateau..... I am not to upset about it but damn it! I am so close to my high school weight it not even funny! I also found out that my Wii Fit has been lying to me as well this difference is 3 pounds but when I used the quick weigh option it will acturate. I will a little disappointed at first but then I realize that this has been the lowest I have ever been in years!   Okay confession time I admit I haven't been making the best food choices and lately I've been adding wine

Hello size 11/12!

Do you like my picture? I have a booty now!   Happy Snowmageddon everyone! It is negative 4 degree over here in the St. Louis Metro Area and over 12 inches of snow. I so want to go outside and play in the snow but it was too damn cold!   New Year Day was my 8 month bandiversary and I went shopping on last Friday to celebrate. So I went to my new favorite store “Dots” and brought me an outfit.   I found me some cute pants but they didn’t have a size 14 but something told me to try on the 1

My 2013 recap

Happy New Year Eve everyone! How was everyone holiday?   I really enjoyed my holiday Santa was really good to me.   Guess what?   My coworkers chip in and brought me a FitBit Flex for X-mas!!!!   How cool is that!!! I love my Fitbit and it sync with my fitness pal account. I am still trying to figure out if I need to track my workout still and use my fitbit calories burn? Or stick with the fitbit? So if know the answer let me know!   Now for my recap.   2013 was the year of change

I got my date!

Happy Wednesday Everyone.   I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been working late at the day care so the parents can wrap the kids christmas toys or get their layaways out. But It is so worth it!   This weekend I need to catch up on my favorite blogs I miss you guys!   Okay back to my entry title. What date I am talking about?......   You ready?.......     Can I get a drum roll?......         On April 5th 2014 in Atlanta GA Me and my best friend Lesley will be doing M

It's amazing what a wine cork can do.

You are probably wondering what I am talking about? Allow me to explain.   My furnace got fix on Monday and when I got home Monday night I notice there was a smell in my laundry room. I figure that my furnace was smelly because it just got service they normally put a deodorant spray in my furnace to make my house smell good so I figure they probably forgot. It was late anyway I did my 30 min works out, took a nice long bath and went to bed.   Yesterday morning when I was leaving the house I

This Weekend I Was So Bad.

Happy Monday everyone! How was everyone weekend? Mines was ugh!!!   I was in a positive mood until Friday night when my furnace went out! Yay! Lucky for me I have a home warranty but I spent the whole weekend with a broken furnace.   So how did I survive? I went straight old school. I turned on my stove and my oven and slept in my living room. I am so happy that I have a small house.   Why is every time I get extra money something goes wrong? Anyway I decided to take my bestie out to dinne

I Survive My First Thanksgiving Banded

Do you guys like my picture of me and Fun Boy? I had him all weekend and we had fun.   How was everyone Thanksgiving? You know what I am actually proud of myself I did good even though I had a big piece of my mom famous Sweet Potato Pie at 11am and it was so good. I even bake a chocolate cake with egg whites and applesauce if only I could of find a healthier version of chocolate icing.   Anyway my big sister host Thanksgiving Dinner at her house and we had fun. I grab the smallest plate tha

I Had To Get Out The House Yesterday!

Happy Sunday Funday everyone!   Every Saturday Morning is my Weigh In day and yesterday was my 75 pounds mark! I was to excited and I had to celebrate. Also I was getting bored being in the house so I went shopping! The first thing I brought was a bra, I've been dreading this day for a long time but I knew I needed a new bra. Of course my fun bags shrunk not to bad but they did. I love my new bra it amazing how the littlest things bring me joy.   Then I went to my favorite clothing store

Port Placement Surgery

Happy Wednesday everyone. I know I haven't been active on here lately but I am back now. So how is everyone? I hope everyone is well.   Where should I begin?   This month has been a good month for me despite of me being a plateau... life has been good. I had a couple of moments this month. The one that hurt the most is when I didn't get my dream job. What is my dream job? To work in Human Resources I have a degree and experience in that field and I had my 10th interview and I still didn't

I Am So Wrong

Happy Wednesday everyone! I just like to say that consider myself a good and peaceful but when it come to me wanting to work out I become a BEAST!   So why am I wrong? Let me explain. I recently moved into a nice size office and my boss told me that she will be putting a float desk in there with me as a back up. It really didn't bother me because we have 10 other computers in the bulding the my co workers can used no one would used that extra desk.   I recently discovered that I can acce

I Am Back!

Well hello everyone and fellow Bariatric Pals!   I am so happy that the blogs are available I was going thru withdraws to a min. LOL   So what has been going on with me? Well last month I did my first 5K walk and I was amazing. (see pics below)   I am set to have my port placement surgery on Nov 20th and I decided to take the rest of the month off.   I am at a plateau now on my weight lost but that will changed soon.   Other than that I am loving my Band!   Thanks for reading.

This is why I shouldn't do something out of anger.

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is a good day because there is a Cardinal Game and Blues Game tonight I am so happy!   Anyway I have a funny story I like to share with everyone.   Today I received a phone call for a job interview. I was too excited because it was more money. After I got off the phone I review my application so I can see which job I applied for and to review the job announcement. I was halfway down the page and this is when I noticed that this position was bilingual! I am n

Am I getting furlough?

I normally don’t get into politics but my phone will not stop ringing. And I had to stay off of Facebook because of all the negativity that is being posted.   For those who don’t know I am a federal employee. I’ve been working for the government since I was 20. I love my employer and I love working with veterans.   Today I got a letter saying after Friday I will be furlough. Am I mad? No just disappointment that we as a nation can’t get it together.   I walk by faith not by sight. So for

200.8.... Say what!

I am so close to being in one hundred land... I can feel it. How is everyone? I know I haven't been active on here. But I've been emotionally drain and I just didn't feel like writing bad news on my blog. I am back on track now.   Today I met with Dr. Richardson for my follow up appointment from my surgery. I am not going to lie to you guys when I got there I was a little nervous. Why? Because this past weekend I had nothing but fried foods and the week before Mother Nature wasn't really nic

What... I need a belt!

After spending 4 nights and 3 days in my house….. I decided that I had to get out! So I went shopping. Tonight I will be going to Hooters with my guy friends to watch the Mayweather and Canelo fight! (Go Canelo!) And if I am going to escort these lovely gentlemen tonight… I have to look good. Also I’ve been feeling down lately so I chose shopping to cheer me up instead of food.   I check my email and I noticed Dots Clothing Store sent me some coupons or I called them coopins. Last time I w

This is harder than I thought!

I finally paid my AT&T Uverse bill word of advice check your bill often because they will upgrade your internet without your knowledge. I guess they didn’t get the memo about me being on a budget!   Anyway how is everyone? I am okay… I guess. This recovery time is harder than I thought it would be. I guess I can start with the morning of the surgery. Surgery took about 18 minutes and I was discharged around 930am. Once again my amazing daddy took care of me. He made sure that my a$$ s

Someone forgot to pay her AT&T Uverse Bill!

I just like to say AT&T will disconnect your internet if you owe them $25. Yeah I forgot to pay them last paycheck so they disconnect my service last Friday. Ooops!   I had a very interesting weekend. Saturday I went to a Fundraiser at one of the bars I used to go to before I was banded. I am not trying to sound conceded but these dudes was on me like white on rice or my pheromones were really high. Anyway my hand got kissed on more times than I received in a lifetime. It felt weird over

I am getting my port replace next Tuesday!

Wow September has started pretty interesting for me hasn’t it?   Well today I went to see my Doctor and he said he will have to replace my port because it’s infected. So next Tuesday is my surgery date. I am little disappointed with myself because I did everything by the book and I didn’t take care of myself properly. It was like a punch to the stomach when he told me this.   So what cause my port to get infected? The term self-inflicted unintentionally comes in mind. I remember some of

Back from my mini Vacay!

Happy Labor Day Everyone!   Well I am back from Branson and I feel great and relaxed! So how did I do? Lets just say I am afraid to step on the Wii Fit today and I will try again this Saturday!   What happened? Don't laugh at me but I left my snack bag at home! I blame my one track mind. Friday after my post I started getting my things together and I thought I put my snacks in my backpack. Well 100 miles out and when we stop at KFC that is when I realize that I left my snacks at home! Ugh

Ending this Month Right!

Well I did! I am ending the month of August right…. I am going on a Family Trip! Once again my mom plans a nice getting away for the family. Where are we going? Branson Missouri! I am too excited because me and my family really needed this. So what is my plan for this trip? I have packed healthy snacks for the road. I grab a couple of packets of tuna so if we do stop at a fast food restaurant on our way there I will order a salad and add the tuna in the salad. I will try my best to make goo

I am so ready for this month to be over with!

I know my past couple of post I have been so sad but I promise this will be my last one for this month. Yesterday was another sad day for me. First let me say my co worker is fine and he moved into his apartment today. I was on my way to my support group and I stop by the day care to say Hi to the kids. When my sister pulled me to the side and told me one of our kids mother died will giving birth. This news hurt my heart so bad. All I could think about was those poor babies. I was upset I came

I hate fake people!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wKyXA_nMVQ This video explain what been going on with me in the past 2 weeks. I am such a young old head! I am going to warn you guys I am going to be venting! So why I do I hate fake people because they are stabbers and lairs. I know most of my flaws but I will say this I am not fake! The only thing that is fake about me is the hair weave that is in my hair! So what happened? One on my good friend (coworker) had a house fire 2 weekends ago and lost everythin
