Bandiversary Ideas.............

October will be here before I know it! I am thinking about Bandiversary ideas.

I told hubby I want a TT and Breast Lift for my 40th birthday. I just turned 35, but I figure I will get a free consultation for my 39th so it is only 4 years away. By that time I should just have my surgery paid off! YAY! My size 12 pants are getting looser. I can't wait to fit into a size 10. One of my goals is to be a size 9 in '09. When I made that a goal I honestly never thought a size 12 was possible. Every smaller size is "gravey" (sorry for the food analagy, I guess I need a better way to say that!)

I do like the idea of pictures. I just got a head shot done, but maybe an official full body picture is in order. I would LOVE to be at goal by then, but that will really be pushing it even if I keep a good pace. I am blessed at my current weight. I keep thinking about where I was one year ago. How it felt to sit in my chair to watch TV and sit in a chair and not be able to cross my legs. I remember a year ago sitting in the bleachers and feeling like a toad on a log just sitting there with my shoulders hunched over trying not to make eye contact because I didn't want anyone to feel like they had to talk to me. Tonight I went to my sons' football scrimmage and everyone kept commenting how good I looked, and damn it...they are right! :laugh:

That's right you go girl.....you do look good!!! Well I weighed my self this morning and I am 179.2. So I lost all my weight I gain plus an extra .5 lb. I know its not even a lb but I am glad to be out of that 3 to 4 lb gain realm. Booth camp is great. This is my second week. I also still do my walks at work. I don't workout at home in the evening. The doctor told me not to wear myself out.

My daughter started booth camp with me today. I'm proud of myself. I did my liquid diet down to the T insead of cheating. I am on mushys today and tomorrow. I hope to see another lb gone tomorrow morning. I have been giving my all in my workouts!!!

Sarah, That is great! I know what you mean. I started losing quickly after my fill, but there was something special about getting past that smallest number I had been bouncing back and forth from! I have lost every day since last Monday except for yesterday. (I went to the movies the night before and was a bad girl)

I am thinking I should have gotten a fill 2 months ago. You too?

Keep me up to date!
