Thinking about me for a change.

Like most women, I usually put other people's needs before mine. However, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Do I feel bad about it???? HECK NO!!!! It's rather liberating.   Today, I was asked to have lunch with a friend which I kindly declined. Any other day, lunch would have been super nice. However, my new life consists of focusing on my bootcamp. I attended my bootcamp class today and I must say it's really growing on me. With that said, we have a week off next week. What

Bootcamp and the band.

Band - Still super excited about my fill. I ate about a 1/4 of an omlet for breakfast this morning. YUMMMM. I looked at my plate and was like, "now this is how I should be eating." As instructed, I took really small bites to ensure it goes through my band. My lunch was a protein shake which I drank after bootcamp class.   Bootcamp - Well today was upper body workout. Boy do I miss the days when she mixes up the workouts. It kills me when she targets one part of the body the ENTIRE hou

Day 1 with fill and all I can say is WOW!

Today was day 1 with my fill and I must admit that I need to relearn a few band rules. For breakfast, I ate a small bowl of oatmeal. Mind you, I did remember that we have to wait up to an hour before drinking. This is where I paid the price for my choices. After finishing my oatmeal, it was time for bootcamp class. Mind you, I couldn't drink for atleast an hour. With that said, I went to bootcamp and after 45 minutes, I felt like passing out. Why, you ask??? Because my lazy butt didn't wa

At last, I did it. Had a fill after 7 month hiatus!

It's official, I'm now filled. I was SUPER nervous when getting my fill. I was really worried that I'd hear, "your pouch is STILL stretched, we can't give you a fill today!" When he told me everything looked perfect, a huge sigh of relief came over me. Mind you, I had like a dozen people praying for me so I'm sure that was the ticket. :tounge_smile:   The NP injected 4cc in a 10cc band, Whoot Whoot. I was really surprised she gave me so much the first go around. When I was unfilled back

2 more days.......

Fill day is 2 days away. Whoot Whoot, can't wait. I'm a little scared. I had a nightmare last night that I went for my fill and they told me I couldn't have one because my pouch is stretched. I woke up crying. Heavenly father, please guide me on this journey and give me the strength to succeed.   No workout today. It was a rainy day so I decided to stay in. However, I will do 30 minutes of cardio tomorrow. I can't imagine what's in store at bootcamp on Monday.

She did it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to bootcamp this evening and she made us run AGAIN. Was looking at me gasp for air yesterday not enough for her or what???? I had a cramp below my shins so I stopped and she rode my butt and made me complete the run. I was like, "are you kidding me"? but she was not. Drill sargeant I tell ya. To top things off we had to do suicides for 5 minutes, run for 8 minutes, weight training for 5 minutes, run for 8 minutes, etc. I'm heading to the Y tomorrow to start jogging on the treadmill. I'm

All the more reason to get a fill.

Wow, what a day bootcamp was today. We did intervals of cardio and weight training. Didn't do too bad with the weight training BUT the cardio OMG, I about passed out.   The goal of today was to run for 5 minutes, do weight training for 10 minutes, run 5 minutes, etc.. I don't know what in the world I was thinking. Here I am 190 lbs, carry my weight in the middle and have small legs and she expected me to RUN......... C'MON. I could not wait for her to blow that darn whistle so we could move o

What was I THINKING?????

After my first day back at bootcamp, I woke up SO sore. Everything from the neck down feels every ache. WOW, this is yet another reminder why I should always strive to stay on task with my workouts. Good thing it's only twice a week. I need to get more cardio in at the gym before I attend the next camp. It's not fun being out of breath. 2nd day is always worse so I can just imagine what tomorrow holds in store for me. I'll let y'all know manana.

Fitness Bootcamp

Well I bit the bullet today and went to my fitness bootcamp class. I have not attended in almost 2 weeks due to family issues. I'm so glad that I got my fat rear up off the couch and worked out. I received 2 compliments about my legs and how toned they are. I loathe my body so much that I couldn't even say a simply thank you. Uh, I felt so aweful. Here they were trying to pay me a compliment which I'm not used to so I turn away. All I could think was, "yeah, that's the only part of my body that

Mexican Food

I'm on my 3rd day of cleansing and I almost slipped up today. I'm trying to lose atleast 5 lbs. before my fill on April 20th but today was VERY trying. My mom cooked cheese enchiladas, rice, and refried beans for dinner tonight. I about came through my skin to get a taste of an enchilada. Thankfully, I brought my ipod and booked it to the track. What did I think about while walking.....them darn enchiladas. If I continue going to mom's house, I may give into temptation. Looks like I might have t

Rescheduled fill for April 20th after 7 month hiatus

I bit the bullet and reschuled my fill for April 20th instead of May 4th. Out of curiosity, I decided to ask what my weight was the last time I went in for an unfill. Wow, that was a loaded question. She said 178, I was like WHOA I'd love nothing more than to see that number again. Today marked day 1 of 11 for cleansing my body.

Tired of being JUST a pretty face!

I was banded almost 2 years ago and have been unfilled for about 7 months. Not to fret, I'm going back on May 4th to get a fill.   What is it with mom's and their need to dwell on imperfections. I'm constantly being reminded by mom that I have such a pretty face but I need a body to go with it. :wub: I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt to hear that. All I can do at this point prove her wrong and let her know that I'm more than JUST a pretty face. Strange how she sees what I don't see. She
