Sounds like you need to "work" at home tomorrow.

Tell me about it!!!

That's what I'm doing. I'm getting my hair cut and re-pinked in the afternoon. Shh, don't tell anyone.

You have pink hair? That is SO not what I envisioned, Miz Mac!!!

Really? It's not totally pink. I just have pink highlights.

I think they go good with my grey -- which was coming in strong at the temples but not so strong everywhere else. The pink makes it look streaky everywhere but without the fake blonde streaks that scream "I'm trying to hide my gray".

Um, can you tell I've thought about this way too much? :biggrin:

Ha - just a teensy bit! Lord I wish you could explain the whole coloring business to my boss. It's a hot mess!

I actually stopped doing it because after a while the pink highlights made my hair look red or even orange. So I grew them out. But I'm ready to do it again.

But it will grow back.

That's my hair philosophy... it's just hair -- it grows back.

Hey, maybe I can do the blue at the 2 month mark and then at the 3 month mark when it starts to fall out, that will help me transition back to pink! Now why didn't I think of that?!

Well if they don't look fake, then it's fine. But on some women they look fake.

The pink is very obviously fake so that's why it works for me. :biggrin:

I feel so fortunate when I come across a thread that has some of my favorite lap-band role models involved in it!! The rants about having to really work at this whole endeavor (and that includes exercise) just serve to keep me motivated. I have to admit that sometimes I allow my days to get so full that I let exercise get pushed out of the whole equation but each time I walk by my treadmill or eliptical, I feel like I just want to abandon everything and jump on one of them......... I guess when your body starts to crave it, its a good thing. Whenever I go without exercise, my weight loss is so much slower. I wholeheartedly believe in "muscle memory" and find that my body responds so well to this exercise and reminds me of my younger days when I was much more fit and trim. I am working my way back there and hope that by the time my next b-day (2/22) rolls around, I will have given myself a 100+ pound loss as the ultimate gift. My doctor thinks if I keep going at the pace I am moving, it might before then!! I have no quarrel with that!!

Thanks for all the encouragement, insight, and input!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
