Almost broke my thumb moving furniture yesterday. First xray says it's not broken, just a severe sprain - have to come back in 5 days for more xrays. I may need surgery on it if the legiment is detached. How am I supposed to do pushups with a 1/2 broken thumb?

Got a blister on my foot from walking 3 miles...ouch! Guess this is an excuse to by new shoes!

Easter Sunday - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???

I'm still trying to lose the 5 pounds I have let to go in this challenge and we're already picking another date?!?!? You are determined to kick my butt into high gear. I need that! Bring it on... -
I've been natural for almost a year. I still have about 2 inches of relaxed hair on top. I wear my hair in wash and go style - usually with some cute headband. I tend to get about an inch cut off at a time so it's been the same length for awhile. I couldn't bring myself to cut it all off at once.

It's my birthday! I'm going to have a lemon bar today as my birthday treat! I'm going to walk around the lake and eat like I'm supposed to, but then it's me and my yummy lemon bar...I can't wait!

I have a friend that drinks that stuff. I've never tasted it but she swears by it.

Got back from my romantic birthday weekend in Niagara Falls Canada! Had a wonderful trip, but I snacked a little too much. I made it to the gym everday and walked everywhere that we went instead of taking the bus or driving. All in all, I didn't do too bad. A few Sun Chips, and a quarter bag of Doritos is just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things! Tomorrow's weigh in will be the deciding factor.

Forgot my protein bar on my bus trip yesterday and had to eat a piece of fried chicken. God, I was so sick! I wish people would take into consideration that not everyone can digest certain foods. Need to be more mindful of my new life when I go out of town on family functions and they say that they'll bring the food...

On my way to Atlantic City. Hopefully I'll win enough money to pay for a tummy tuck and lyposuction!

I eat most of my food from baby bowls. I use the ones that you can put the hot water in. It keeps everything warm for you, and helps control portion size.

Tried Zumba at home yesterday. It was pretty fun except I almost danced myself out of my patio window. I think I'm going to try more tonight. I love to dance!

The jury is still out on the Nectar. Fruit juice is good, and whey protein is okay when mixed in other milk based products. I'm just not so sure on fruit flavored whey. It's weird. So far I've had the apple and the lemonade. I like the apple with a little cranberry pomergrante juice in it. The lemonade...nothing could help that!

I swear I'm about press charges on Jillian Michaels for attempted murder. She is trying to KILL me!

How sweet! Congratulations on all of your success!

Finally can fit into 3 pairs of pants I bought before I got sleeved. I bought them because they were cute. They are a size 16 (still big in the waist, but they fit my hips and stomach). At least they're not the 24 I was wearing beforehand!

I jogged for the first time! Granted it was only from 1/2 of the field to the car, but it was the first time I jogged since I was 14! It felt good but I need a better sports bra!

I went natural about a year ago. I think it helped with minimal hair loss, too!

My doctor told me I could start walking within a week, but no lifting or straining for 4 weeks. I started really exercising at one month post op.
-
I've been doing the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred for about a week now. Even though I hate her and that Shred is going to kill me, I definitely am feeling a difference in the way my pants are fitting and I'm noticing more muscle tone in my arms. Has anyone else tried it? If so, did you like it?

Okay, I love my sleeve. I'm already 1/2 way to my goal after only 7 weeks post op. I work out 7 days a week. I do 20-30 minutes on the treadmill, and 30-45 at home, either on my gazelle or I do either Tae Bo, 30 Day Shred, or 6 Week Abs 3 days a week. Whatever I'm doing, I'm mixing it up and getting a great workout in. Now, I'm losing about 2-3 pounds per week. My body is getting smaller, I can tell because my scale is moving and my clothes fit differently. Here's where the frustration comes in... I've lost 56 pounds, yet I'm still in a size 18. My waist is much smaller, as are my thighs. My stomach and hips, however, are smaller, but are still the largest part of me. All of my size 18 pants are too big in the waist and legs, but any size smaller is too tight on my hips and stomach. It's like I can't get a 16 past the biggest part of me to fit the other part of me. It's the same problem I had before the surgery. I don't know what else to do to make my stomach and hips get smaller so that I can actually buy pants that fit.
