Working Out & A New Giveaway!!!

I have been the biggest dud when it comes to working out throughout pretty much my whole time of being banded. For anyone newly banded out there, the 64lbs I've lost have been lost with the most minimal exercise possible. The whole time I've had great intentions of working out - it just has not happened.

The most important thing I've learned is that wanting/liking to workout won't happen over night. Also, you have to figure yourself out!! What I mean is....I kept telling myself every night that I was going to get up early to work out. Guess what?? It never happened. Then I would tell myself that I would work out after dinner every night. Guess what? It never happened. So when was I going to work out?? I had to figure out what works for me.

I have figured out...........that I have to work out the second I get home! Wait to eat until after my work out. If I don't do it this way then it never happens!! If you aren't working out right now, you should really try and figure yourself out. If you don't find out what works for you....nothing ever will!

Weigh In Wednesday

Last Wednesday’s Weight: 198lbs
This Wednesday’s Weight: 195lbs

I lost 3lbs this week and I am wicked excited about it! Thank you restriction God because I truly feel like I’ve hit my sweet spot! Do you remember last October when I got stuck and had a complete unfill? Well just before that I felt like I was at my sweet spot and it has taken me almost one full year to get back there and I am so relieved! I almost thought I’d never get back. *Sigh of relief.*

Drazil did a post titled “Life is so much more than fat” and it really spoke to me. I spend all day everyday thinking and planning and sometimes obsessing about food. Not only do I have to eat food but I feel like I must live and breathe it. I’m starting to feel a little suffocated by it. I’d love for one day, just one day to not think about food at all. My addiction defiantly still has some hold on me and I wonder, will it always be like this?


With a 3lb loss this week I don’t expect a lot for next week. I am aiming for 1lb, that would rock my socks off. Anyone else have any specific goals for the coming week?
