BAHAHAHA! I am so silly! How is everyone? I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been so busy at both jobs. When I get home I just want to work out and sleep! Confession time..... I don't like needles and yet I pick the surgery that requires needles. LOL Anyway yesterday I had my first fill and it was not bad at all. I didn't look just relaxed. I forgot there isn't alot of protein in full liquids.... So I brought some tomato soup and added a 1/2 of serving of plain greek yorgurt. For dinner me and Fun Boy had a greek yogurt. Beleive or not this keep fill until 830 this morning. Anyway I finally found my port on my own! It is funny how the little things bring me enjoy! God is good Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the suggestion I will have to check this out.

Happy Wednesday How is everyone? I know I haven’t been on here much lately but I’ve been really busy at both jobs. My new work hours have been a real adjustment for me. It has been challenging but I think I have getting the hang of it. I will say this planning my meals has really helped because it eliminates the temptation of me eating fast food and eating junk food at the day care. The Day Care is my trigger because I am surrounded by cakes, cookies, and chips. A few weeks ago I noticed me eating item more often. This is not good because I am still a t plateau. So one week I started bringing salad and Greek yogurt to the day care. So I started sharing my meals Fun Boy (my nephew). So he now loves Greek yogurt. Last week Snowmagendon hit the Mid-west again so I had left a salad at the day care since my sister 2 kids at the day care I told her go ahead and get them my salad. The kids loved the idea and they started bragging to the other day care kids about my famous salad. After taking to the parents and my sister we decided to have salad 2 days an week for snack. Each time the kids will add something new to the salad or we will buy a fruit or veggie they never had before. So far this has been a success! My only complaint is they kids a drowning their salads with ranch dressing! Will be wrong if I replace the Hidden valley ranch with a healthier version of a ranch dressing? I am just happy my day care kids are enjoying salads now even though they are going thru to bottles are ranch dressing! This is why I love them. I wonder what I can get hooked on now??? Even though I am still at a plateau I love my band! God is good Thanks for reading.

Happy Monday everyone! I have been so busy I haven't had time to check in with everyone. I wanted to share this story with everyone so I will try not to bore you! When I started my lap band journey I only told my family and my best friends. As I got more comfortable I started telling everyone! Today a fellow co worker came up to me and told me that he is getting the lap band because I inspired him. I was shocked but I was so happy for him. We had this conversation before. He asked me questions and I told about my journey. But I always told him "my journey will be different from yours." I am proud to say that I am happy that I was able to inspire someone to live a healthier lifestyle. I don't think I say this enough but I am thankful for this site and everyone on this site. You guys inspire me to do better and for that I thank you! So take time to inspire someone today and maybe that person will pay it forward. God is Good! Thanks for reading!

Do I need to start motivating you! Start small then go big. Try YouTube. I've been on a walk away the pounds kick lately. Hi. I have been the same weight for a real long time because I am lazy. Even though your scale is the same have your measurements changed at all? Sometimes the inches go before the weight. Keep up with the exercises because I haven't gone to the gym in real long time but I pay every month. I know, I am bad.

I know wine is so my weakness but it taste so good and so relaxing. I will get back on track soon!

Good Luck with your surgery. I wonder if you can do some type of arm workout weeks after your recovery time?

Yeah I am at a plateau..... I am not to upset about it but damn it! I am so close to my high school weight it not even funny! I also found out that my Wii Fit has been lying to me as well this difference is 3 pounds but when I used the quick weigh option it will acturate. I will a little disappointed at first but then I realize that this has been the lowest I have ever been in years! Okay confession time I admit I haven't been making the best food choices and lately I've been adding wine as a food group. However I've been working out either 45 to 1 hour each day. My plan of action Stop drinking wine every night and cut it down to twice a week. Change my workout routine. Review my fitness pal diary to review my eating habbits. Start planning my meals through out the week and remember Protein Protein and Protein I need to get to ball going anyway I have to train for my first 5K run in April. I am still happy with my weight loss and I know for a fact I will never weigh over 200 pounds again! This is a promise I made to myself God is good and I still love my band! Thanks for reading!

Do you like my picture? I have a booty now! Happy Snowmageddon everyone! It is negative 4 degree over here in the St. Louis Metro Area and over 12 inches of snow. I so want to go outside and play in the snow but it was too damn cold! New Year Day was my 8 month bandiversary and I went shopping on last Friday to celebrate. So I went to my new favorite store “Dots” and brought me an outfit. I found me some cute pants but they didn’t have a size 14 but something told me to try on the 11/12. At first I hesitated because I was tempted to go over to the plus size section and find me a size 14. But I then I heard my best friend Lesley voice saying “hoe you better not go over there!” in my head. I finally tried on the pants and I was stocked when they fit! I even did the squat test in them and passed, but they were a little bit tight around my stomach. I took two pictures one showing my stomach and the one shown above. I sent them to Lesley and she told me I look fine in them. I just like to say that I am still stock that I have a booty now! LOL my ego gotten a little big especially after the 46 likes I got on my Facebook page! Anyway I called in work today and I have my two other friends over here. We had an official sleepover last night over here. I think I am going to convince them to do Walk away the pounds 3 mile walk. With or without them I am going to. Don’t worry about me I am good in the Midwest I have wine and protein mix to last me! LOL God is good! Thanks for reading.

I am training for my first 5K run too good luck to you!

Happy New Year Eve everyone! How was everyone holiday? I really enjoyed my holiday Santa was really good to me. Guess what? My coworkers chip in and brought me a FitBit Flex for X-mas!!!! How cool is that!!! I love my Fitbit and it sync with my fitness pal account. I am still trying to figure out if I need to track my workout still and use my fitbit calories burn? Or stick with the fitbit? So if know the answer let me know! Now for my recap. 2013 was the year of change for me. I change my eating habits and my wardrobe. I change my lifestyle and adapted a more healthier lifestyle. I change my way of thinking. Instead of thinking about my next meal I am now thinking about what type of workout I am going to do today. I change my friends since my surgery I learned who is with me and who is againist me. I let all my haters go. (see ya!) I am so ready for 2014 It is going to be something else. Starting with my first 5K run! Happy 42nd Anniversary to my parents! God is good Thanks for reading!

It was werid because I had no head or anything. I think because my laundry room is sorta seperate from my house and the only thing I have gas in my house is my furnace. But Trust and believe I will be buying a gas detector.
