I'm so bad at blogging!!

It's been a while since I posted I'm so lazy!!

 

Things are going.....ok. I'm not having the weight loss I wanted to have but I also have not had a fill yet. I was hoping I would be one of those people who have restriction from the beginning and drop weight right out of the starting block. Nope, not me. Oh well, I'll deal with it.

 

I'm doing ok since I've dropped like 15 pounds in the last 3 weeks but I've been down to 19 pounds dropped and gained some back when I started on regular foods. Blech. It's my fault. I am definitely not getting enough water, no where close and I definitely need to exercise (not just haphazard stuff like grocery shopping or parking a bit further away from the mall entrance). I'm making pretty good food choices but I'm having trouble keeping my fats low. Proteins are fine and I'm watching my carbs. I have had no foods that are a problem except dry meats. I can even eat salad which is wonderful. I love salad.

 

I went to my first buffet post banding and did very well. It was a salad buffet and I had about 2 cups of salad and a baked potato. Yum. I would have been perfect but dummy me decided to eat that mini blueberry muffin, it tasted good but not so good as to make up for the fact that I was uncomfortable for the next 15 minutes. No blueberry muffin is that good.

 

I'm on all regular food now and have my first fill on the 3rd of March. It'll be interesting to see how much restriction I can get from that one.

 

That's about it for now...
