I already told you this a few days ago but I didn't want to skip another Weigh In Wednesday. 

 

Thank you so much for all your sweet comments on my video! =) When I saw myself in pics and the video from the Wedding it's the first time not only in years but since being banded that I truly thought "hmm I look pretty good!" lol No one is harder on me, than me.

I have a bunch of new blogs to post! Sorry I keep running short on time! I will post them all tomorrow!!

2 Year Bandiversary!!! - Vlog 0004

Wednesday Weigh In.....On Thursday!

Last Wednesday's Weight: 166lbs (6/8)
This Thursday’s Weight: 165lbs 

One more down, 27lbs more to go! I do want to say, I am so sick of setting goals at this point. It has gotten really old to me. I consistently set these goals and never make them. My body seems to want to loose 1 little lbs at a time, so instead of fighting that I am going to embrace it. 1lb per week sounds like a plan to me, and a darn good one. =)

Sorry I am late on this again!!! It seems to happen to me so often that I start to write this Wednesday and then it just never gets finished!!!

I skipped a few days of exercise this week…..bad me I know. I have been very tired and it’s been hard to get myself up off the couch once I get home. I feel like I don’t have as much energy as your typical 24yr. old might have, I wonder why? I’m probably low on iron; I bet that is partly my issue. I think I will take some supplements and see if that helps, I’ll let you know.

I went all morning long without any coffee. My day is practically over now and I’ve finally just caved and brewed myself a cup. I’ve legit only taken a few sips and already feel a million times better. That is insane how much of an addiction caffeine is. I don’t think I will ever give it up 100% not only because I crave it, but because I like it. However, I need to make better decisions.  I need to cut down my Iced Venti Caramel Macchiato to a Grande at the very least, not only for the caffeine, but for the calories.

I’m thinking about going to see a plastic surgeon soon. I’ve been wanting for a long time to get a breast reduction. Before my surgery I went and had a consult and they told me to come back when I was about half way to my goal. Well, as you know I am pretty far past my goal now so I think it’s time to go see him again.  I’m going to give them a call today and see if I can set something up, I’ll let you know!!

NSV & Wednesday Weigh In

Last Wednesday's Weight: 167lbs 
This Wednesday’s Weight: 166lbs 

Ya baby ya baby ya baby YA!


I'm happy, can you tell? haha. 166lbs thank goodness, I have not had movement in some time, it's nice to see hard working paying off. I have an NSV for you too.....I am wearing size 10 pants now!!!!!! I went to the gap to try some on and they fit perfectly, I'm actually wearing 10s right now. =) The last pair of pants I bought were from Old Navy and they were 14's and now that they are really falling off me I thought it was time to go to the next size down but I can't believe that I just completely skipped 12! Holy moly.


However, America Stores are definitely upping the range of their sizes. When I was 10lbs lighter than I am now 7 years ago.....I was just starting to fit into a 10 and now at 166 I am wearing a 10, so I don't feel as excited as I probably would normally but I am definitely siked still!!! Has anyone else noticed this??

Doing Circles in the Kitchen

I’m trying very hard to loose 2lbs per week and to accomplish that I have to have a calorie deficit of 1000 everyday. Last night around 9pm I had reached the max calories I could consume for the day and was absolutely not hungry one bit, I was actually full. However, my head hunger was starving!!! I went into the kitchen and opened every cabinet, every drawer and the refrigerator at least 2 times each hoping I would find something. Thank goodness there was nothing that really appealed to me because it made it easier to walk away. Even though I was able to walk away, food in general was still calling my name so I turned on my lap top and went as fast as I could to get into the chat room at Lapbandtalk.com to create myself a distraction. Thankfully that really helped. Head hunger is such a nuisance. I’ve tried to brush my teeth or paint my nails before but that does not work long enough for me. Going online and talking to people about lap band or looking people’s blogs, that is what really helps me, it refocuses me. Give it a shot next time your head hunger is acting up and you find yourself doing circles in the kitchen!!!

On another note quickly………..if you live in a New England State (MA, NH, ME, VT, RI, CT) can you shoot me an email at ladylapband@verizon.net just to let me know? I am attempting to put something together and when I have all the info I want to have everyone’s contact info so I can send it their way! Thanks!!!

Wednesday Weigh In

Last Wednesday's Weight: 167lbs 
This Wednesday’s Weight: 167lbs 

Hi everyone!!

I hope you had a great long Memorial Day weekend! Mine was jammed packed! Friday night, my husband and I went bowling. It was the first time in FOREVER and we had a lot of fun! Saturday my parents had a cookout, Sunday we ended up over at my in-laws where we had a fire and roasted marshmallows, and Monday I had a wedding to go to! Needless to say food was everywhere, and there was SO MUCH of it!! The scale actually went up a couple to just come back down to 167lbs today, I’m so thankful! I really have to watch not just the amount I take in at parties but my choices because I ate so many very salty things.

I am back on track though, more so than I have been in a long time! With the exception of yesterday ( I was not feeling so hot ) I have been committed to exercising everyday. I pulled out my bike this past weekend for the summer and it was so great to get back on it, I love my bike as I am sure a lot of you remember. I also figured out that if I start at the sidewalk right outside my house and go till it ends that equals .5 mile so to go to the end and back home is 1 mile. I walk it, run it, ride my bike, it has been great.

I’ve always thought this, but even more so in recent weeks……you don’t have to kill yourself with exercise, just be consistent!! It might take you longer to hit your goal but just eat well, drink lots of water, and work out for 15-30 minutes a day, just be consistent don’t make excuses. Anyone can find 15 minutes a day; bust out a mile in 15 minutes you can do it!!

You know the creators of Extreme Makeover Home Edition? Well, they came out with a new show, Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition. I recorded it and watched the 1st episode last night. The idea is, this trainer specializes in transformation and he chooses people to transform in 1 yr and in the hour long show you go from start to finish and see the transformation. I really liked it. The girl that was on the first show however, she was telling the trainer that if it was not for the opportunity to work with him that she was going to have to get Lap-Band®. This sort of rubbed me the wrong way I have to admit. She said it like it was a bad thing, like it was shameful almost.

Very few of us have the opportunity to live on campus, and get world class trainers that would cost $1000’s and $1000’s. If I had that chance I could have been just as successful as her no doubt, we all could but these people on these shows are like 1 in 1 million, they basically won the lottery. I don’t know what I am trying to say here really, the comment just made me feeling bad, like I did something wrong almost. I know I did not and I find there to be no reason for shame in making a choice for a healthier life. Does anyone else see where my feelings might steam from here, or am I over reacting??
