You can't hide when you're four wide!

Anyone who understands racing and the World of Outlaws will know what that means. For those of you that aren't race fans, or don't get it (which is ok. racing isn't everyones cup of tea). The World of Outlaws is a dirt track phenomenon. Here's how they work.....you take a car that has 800 horsepower, weighing 1800 pounds (with the diver in it and full of fuel), turn it loose on a 1/2 - 1 mile dirt oval and watch them go about 130 mph and turn left! WAY COOL! :thumbup:

So that's where I spent my evening last night. With two of my favorite gentlemen, my daddy and my brother. It was great. So much dirt flying my skin felt gritty when the race was over. That's an excellent night at the races right there.

On the Banding front, still holding steady at the 20 pounds lost. I'm on the mushies right now. I feel restriction with some things, others I don't. Pureed refried beans give me a lot of resriction, while other things like mashed potatoes or grits don't give me hardly any. I called the doctors office about that, they said that the fiber in the beans makes them more restrictive. Which makes perfect sense. I'm enjoying it though. When I was at the doctor for my checkup on Monday they set me up for the July fill clinic, which is the 20th. I'm going to start a work out regimen on Monday. Just some resistance band training and maybe some pilates. Not going back to boxing just yet. Although I wish I could. I loved it.

Well, sorry for the long post, I guess that's all I have right now. Talk with you all later.

You sound like you're doing great!! Now that I'm feeling better I've been itching to get starting working out too---10 days postop. Just don't do "The 100" or any of the other abdominal pilates moves---my DR was very specific about not doing ABS right away because the port can flip or twist if you do core work too soon. Good luck with everything! I'm right with you on the beans---:thumbup:)!
