Weigh In

Last Weigh In:   156lbs

Today'sWeight: 155lbs 

Yay I lost another l LB! I am super excited about this seeing I've been having such a hard time lately! I went to a party over the weekend and I saw a lot of people I don't see too often maybe like 3-4 times a year. They kept saying how great I looked and I was telling them how my goal is still 17lbs away and I need to loose another 5 to be "normal" weight. They were so sweet they said I didn't look over weight at all. It's so funny to listen to other people's perception of yourself, what I see is so different. =)

On another note I am moving this week! I'm a little stressed, lots to do but on the actual moving day I should have lots of help thankfully! I rented an apartment on the third floor so I should burn a lot of calories that day carrying all those boxes! lol I have not had time to exercise with packing which has been frustrated but it has not left my mind, I cannot wait until life slows down and I get to walk again! =)

Worth Sharing

=) I just read this and thought it was worth sharing......

"Let's be realistic here. You don't drop two jean sizes in one day. You won't loose fifty pounds in one month. You're going to binge every now and then. You will go a day or two without working out. Your weight is going to fluctuate here and there. You're going to try new techniques, and they're not going to work. You're human. You're going to fail. But nothing great is ever accomplished, without a few obstacles."

Feeling Defeated

I don't usually write about feeling defeated but I think it's important for new bandsters to know that it's not all fun and games all the time after being banded. I've heard countless people say that loosing those last few lbs is the hardest and boy are they right. The last year all I have done is basically go up and down the same 10lbs time and time again. I'm not sure what to change in order to move the scale. I refuse to give up but I'm feeling a little lost!

I've been working out consistently for the past few months. I aim for 5 days per week but even if I am really busy that week I never let more than 1 day go in between working out. The only thing I know I need to work on is my water intake, but I also know just doing that alone won't help me loose these last few lbs. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? I'll take any at all!  =)
