"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan. We all make mistakes. Its not getting back on track and moving forward that is the bigger mistake. Move forward and start anew.

9 pounds away from my Christmas goal that I set back in April. Slow going but on pace.

Today is the 15th anniversary of my 30th birthday. Five more years and I qualify for AARP!!

Long term goal 220lbs Dec 15, 2013 and a week at Disney World...

Funny when I first decided to get banded I wondered if losing 100lbs the first year post op was possible. Month 6 is Saturday and I am down 88!!

And here we are again. Scale has not moved in two weeks...sigh

Actually forgot to eat my lunch today. No wonder I cannot get the calories in.

If you want something in your life you've never had, you'll have to do something you've never done. I dare you to change and try something new!

Went in for my 5 month post op visit. We decided no fill is needed. I am in the zone. Down 84lbs since surgery. Gone from a size waist 62 to a 52. Getting there...

Today is my 5 month bandiversary and I am down 82lbs.

Wow feeling lousy today. Drank my protein shake a little fast this morning and been feeling naseous ever since.

Very excited booked a room at the Jewel in NYC for Dec 7. Steps away from Rockefeller Center

You know you're losing weight when your Wedding Ring falls off....

Went in for a fill this morning and was supposed to see the Nutrtionist. One was on vacation and the other called out. Kind of bummed out I waited two weeks to talk one of them.

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have The Facts of Life....thanks to my wife this is stuck in my head.

OK, I am done feeding the trolls so now I will go get my own lunch!!

So for the first time I experienced that morning tightness everyone has been talking about...interesting

Had my 4th fill today and for the first time my port is sore....hmmm

Got a 1cc fill this morning. Only 2lbs in the past month. I took a beating this past month with all the personal issues and I let it affect my progress. Time to get busy and make it right...

I deleted my last blog entry. Some how I stupidly managed to post it to facebook. Really upset with myself. I may just delete my accounts.
