While trying to figure out how to take the airstopperthingy out of my core secrets ball to add more air to it - i clicked upon an informercial for Fluidity. I must be an advertisers dream come true! I swear it took seconds to suck me into this infomerical and here i am with another screen up about to buy it! I think i'm getting out of the pamered chef biz and i want to transform my loft into a functional space to work out in. I have an elliptical that i finally use and now i'm thinking of adding this bar-thing. eventually i want to go back to karate and get one of the kick bags. my Dh is going to kill me!! =)

that's awesome! congratulations!

lunch was aewsome! i'm all for another gathering!

Good morning friends Met up with some Chicago bandsters yesterday for lunch = it was really nice since we were all on a diffferent area of our journey, now i have a cold and wish CVS would deliver cold medicine and groceries. i better stop procrastinating and get my tuckuss on the scale. Have a great everyone!

good Morning friends! I've been pretty down lately because I keep going back and forth with a few pounds. I know its because works been making me a lunatic and i haven't been excerising. But yesterday I dug out the notebook that i wrote my measurements into in september, got the tape measurer and and thought i'd see how i've done. I've lost a total of 19.625 inches!! i think it was the see you can do this reminder i needed. So take those measurements and take those picures friends!!! *Sonia

me me! i;m in!

dr meyers did my band and i really liked him. i found adding some rosemary seasoning to broth really made it take yummy!

hmmmm sounds interesting... maybe i'll run to borders at lunch. I need all the help i can get!

i was told no food or water for 4 hours before.

hi friends! i kno w this is off topic but i thought i would ask my favorite october group - do u like your job? I spent most of the day repeating to myself - cant quit, dang mortgage! and dang hubby who would keel right over if i just up and quit! i wasn't prepared to not go to lunch and then wrk til 730, so food decisions where not the best. we have a very chocolate friendly work. it was deinitely a Monday! Hope u guys had a much better day!!

Do you what time? Are we thinking afternoon or dinner?

good morning friends i definitely need to get back on track! i know i've been snacking more and being inconsisent with my workouts, i was so thrilled last week when i dropped 4 pounds! only to have gained 3 back this week! what the heck! i stopped by the tae kwon do place around the corner to get info on classes. i left tho without asking how mch it would cost. i'm going to make my fill appointmnt for the end of the month. we'll see,

i'm in the Aurora/Napervlle area. There is a lot of stuff on 59 bucause of Fox Vally Mall... hmmm.... we wanted somewhere to sit a while right?... theres a panera... fridays... olive garden... dennys ... fudruckers... of course i am drawing a complete blank as whatelse...

i was told to opt for food instead of the liquid shakes as often as I can. But i do a lot of running out the doorin the morning so its easier to whip up some protein powder and juice and go. i had bought a lot of samples from bariatriceating.com and had gotten a container fo whey protein from trader joes. when i got back to work from my surgery my coworkers had made this huge care package with 2 big boxes of myolex protein powder and some gnc powder. i think i have protein to get me thru the year! ne myolex packet makes waaay to much so i empty them into a tuperware and spoon a few tablespoons into my magic bullet and go, I can't tell exactly then how much protein i'm getting but then i'm not wwaisting alot either.

i went to the initial seminar around 6/17. met with the doc a week later. got the ok for my surgery in september. didnt get banded until 10/26 because i wanted my 2 week liquid diet to start after my vacation.

when i initially met with the nutritionist i got a few pages of dos and donts. after my surgery i got a nice book that had been put together wth info on the stages and food and exercise. i have to admit tho that i cme here first for answers before flipping thru it.

Happy Friday Friends! Hope everyone is doing well. i took today off for a mental health day. I wanted to be accessible in case I needed to get to my parents house. I know i will regret it monday but... My dad had to go in today for his bi-yearly meeting with the cancer doc sicne he had bladder cancer 2 years ago. They saw a shadow on the chest xray and he had to go today to get the results. I was completely useless at work yesterday since its all I could think about, i mindlessly snacked and i barely slept. My mom called around 930 to tell me all was fine!! Yippeee!! :clap2: I considered going into work afterall but since its Friday and i hate that place I got my oil changed and tires rotated instead. Now i'm debating what to do with myself - i think I may take myself to see the Pursuit of Happiness movie... or work on my resume.. Have a great Friday! sonia

i have 2 pairs of size 24 jeans if anyone could use them.

i have had the lemon tea and the fuzzy navel and liked them. I ordered a few individual packets of the cherry and lemonade (i think) from bariatriceating.com

I finally made it thru 30 minutes on my elliptical! i can't believe it!! wel it probably tok me about 40 minutes with the stoping in between but i only got off once to hit next on my laptop. I bought The Pretender season 1 and its good to watch while i try not to think!! i'm been debating about my restriction... i think i need more but i can't afford the fill cost since i waited to long (if u call during the week of your fill they dont charge you to come back).. i know i definitiely have been snacking more... maybe i should try one of those food tracking sites.. hmmmm... off to bed. have a great bandday tomrrow!

with new years being the "time to resolve" to get in shape - i bet you can find LOTS of great deals!!

i worked for a Ballet with the original bowflex guy - i would have bought anything that body was selling!! =) mmmm on an exercise note... I finally made it 30 minutes on my ellipitical!! i think it took like 40 minutes but i stayed on it!

way to go Shirley!

man I suck at this!!!!

happy New Years friends! in trying to make exersice more resolution i dusted off my elliptical and bought a headphone extender so i can watch movies from my laptop on my desk. i couldnt get past 15 minutes on the machine. i am NOT a morning person. i can never seem to get out of bed in the morning the first time my alarm goes of cuz well i hate my job and hate being there... but i'm thinkig of trying to act like a grown up and not snooze a zilion time. then i can do 15 minutes in the morning and do the next 15 minutes when i get home til my endurance builds up. anyone find sucess breaking the workouts up? or should it be 30 minutes straight?
