I'm not really sure that anyone reads this Blog, but that does't really matter much to me. I'm finding it therapeutic to write a little here and there about what's going on with me and my 2nd journey with the LapBand!

 

Since I restarted my journey 2 weeks ago, I've lost 8lbs and am very happy about that. Now I'm on a mission to get out of the 250's. I wonder if it's just me, but does anyone else have a problem losing 'the tens". I can be stuck at 251 for 2 months before I see the 250 or 249. It's unbelievable to me how it happens all the time. It's a mental struggle. This morning I weighed in at 251.2. Let's see what tomorrow brings! Fingers & Toes Crossed!!!

 

My eating has changed drastically and I've learned so much about what to eat and what not to eat. It's EXTREMELY important for me to write down what I'm eating throughout the day. This ensures that I'm drinking my water, taking vitamins & eating my 100grams of Protein. I never did that before & look where it got me...

 

I joined the gym- but am not really getting into it. I go through the motions, but am not really 'pumped'. I think I'm just exhausted and need to find energy from somewhere. It's hard because I have to go after a long day of work. Then after the gym, I come home to my family & they are hungry, want to talk, play, etc... I'm hoping once the kids are out of school, it will be a little easier on me. I can go early in the morning on my days off, then only 3 days at night. I can't go on the weekends right now- but 5 days is much better than the Zero I was doing before!

thats the way to look at it!! anything youre doing now is better than what you were doing. i was 255 and had no motivation, once a month had passed and only lost a small amount of weight i was a little discouraged. i stepped it up and it dramatically fell off now im already high school skinny and still losing! honestly i work out occasionally i dont think any ones ever "pumped" to work out... but eventually when you see and feel a difference thats when youll become motivated. good luck!! and we all like to here about your story thats why we are all here.....

WOW! high School Skinny! What a dream that is... Congrats to you- you must feel amazing!!! So thrilled for you...

I know I can do it too but it won't happen without hitting that gym. I have my clothes in the car ready to go today straight from work. Yahoo!

PS- weighed in this morning at exactly 250! OMG, can't wait til tomorrow and I can say Goodbye to that HORRIBLE # forever! LOL

***Even though I've done it before- it's still exciting for me, because all I could see was me going back to where I started. I'm so greatful to have stopped the weight gain & turn it around...
