Whew….totally out of breathe right now while im typing this. I did good today….im proud of myself.

Today’s Meals:

Breakfast: Total Cereal/Skim Milk 150 Cals

Lunch: A serving size og Spaghetti O’s. (not the healthiest…but I was not going to waste what my daughter did not eat) About 240 Cals total for that meal.

Snack- A piece of watermelon….literally just a piece…(wasn’t real hungry)

A 25g protein shake…..worth about 175 cals after you add the skim milk

Dinner- A chicken thigh in shake n bake…..and some corn. About 450 cals total)

Snack before my 8pm cut off….. I had ONE fudgecicle….its NO SUGAR ADDED and only has 45 cals…MMMMMMMMM YUM

I also had some baked cheetos…..they are lower cal…..but I shouldn’t have had them….so to make up for themi turned on some music and just did the electric slide with my 3 yr old to Sexy Back by JT. LOL….thats why im outta breathe…. I had to burn some extra cals….

Today’s Exercise

I worked out around 1pm today…did 27 minutes on the treadmill….about ¾ a mile…I was really lagging so I went a little slower…..

My friend of 18 years Nick came over and he did the bowflex and I walked another 15 minutes……YAY! So I made my mile mark today after all.

So today my cals came in between 1200-1500 which im fine with. I was able to eat foods I liked and keep the cals low……

I know it seems like I had a lot of junk in my meals today but I think compared to what I used to eat and the lack of exercise ive had….i think I am doing great…and dang it…im going to give myself a pat on my back.

Today I realized that this is going to the longest journey of my life. Probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I also realized that after reading some of the posts about people having problems with their band even years after they have had it scares me. It makes me realize that I need to lose the weight while I can. I need to seize this moment and take it for all its worth because I never know when this band could be taken from me. I could wake up one morning and BAM it has to be removed. I need to get everything I can out of it first. I am going for a fill to give me REAL restriction (because I don’t have much) on May 8th.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO LIVE FOR…..

MY FAMILY!!!!!

I love them and I will succeed for them and for my own well being!!!

Tata for now!
