Bandster hell again.

Well, three weeks after my last fill and I can tell I'm losing my restriction again. I was reallly doing well on my daily intake, but yesterday was a combination of problems.

First off, I was eating things I shouldn't, and second I was able to eat about 2 to 3 times as much as I should be eating for supper.

I'm just gonna have to use self discipline and control to get me throught the next week or so, which is the bandster hell. My supper was 8 oz of new york strip and cornbread. It is my daughters birthday weekend and it is really tough. I also finished it off with a cup of homeade ice cream. Oh my god, 440 calories of nothing but sugar and fat, and it doesn't even stay with you.

Today is the birthday meal. Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill with potato chips and dip and the dreaded ice cream and cake for desert. I have a plan this time to save me. I am only going to eat the hot dogs, which are the 99% fat free hot dogs and only 40 calories each. I will use the 1 carb ketchup and mustard to make them good, and I will not eat the dessert. Ok the last part is the worst, but I have to make up for yesterday. I had 2000 calories!!! If I eat 900 calories for the next 3 days, I can counter that disaster.

I have also came up with an excellerated calorie burn plan. I'm going to do my normal 30 minutes of swimming or weights at night, but I'm going to also walk for 3 hours a day. That should give me a 1600 calorie burn with my normal metabolism. Man I should be able to have a big time weight loss for the next couple of months this way. I want to lose 70lbs in the next 7 months, to get to goal. That is 10lbs a month. I can do it, but only if I'm doing all of the excercise and keeping my band adjusted. I'm starting to think, it will just have to be adjusted every 3 weeks, not every 4, like they want to do.

Jeebus! Three hours walking a day??!!! You are a better man than me!

I have a wedding for my daughter in 6 months.....this is the only way I will make weight in time.

But but ... how will you physically fit it in to your day?!

Good for you however.

I work as a pilot. If they don't go anywhere, I don't work. If they do go somewhere, I sit and do nothing all day, and then fly home....there really is no reason I can't walk while on a trip, except if the weather is nasty.

Update....got in 2 hours of walking and 2 hours of peddling, with 1 hour of weights.

It has to show up in the scale eventually.
