Hi there! I know I haven't been around, but what can you do? Life happens.
So after the last time I was here I lost a few pounds, got down to 185, then gained a couple back. I've been hovering at 186/187 for a couple weeks now, but today I hopped on the scale and saw 184!!
This is the lowest I've been since last year right before my band started giving me all that sh*t.... AND this time I wasn't not eating. I've been eating regular normal meals, and even snacking a bit. I have added back in more exercise though, and my eating that I call "regular normal meals" is small compared to most. I eat about 1/3 of what my family eats. heh. They make me full though. I've been trying to make more food at home and eating out less. I've had a few PBs but they've been rare, and when they do happen they are the easy, stuff just comes right back kind that happen when I eat too fast or don't chew right.
Anyway, so there you have it. Exercise plus a normal working band and small frequent meals. Yay!!
Current weight: 184

Fill it up to get it down...
Well, well, well.... it's all about the minor adjustments, isn't it?
So the last time I talked to you I had just had a little unfill to get me to a more comfortable place. Well, I think it's just about perfect. I had been disappointed because I hadn't been sure that this little tiny bit would make that much of a difference, but guess what? It has.
My fill is currently about 5.2cc's or so. That .2 doesn't sound like much, but it's right on track for me. I'm eating less, but not so tight that I'm puking every day. Not to say that I haven't lost a lunch or two, but it was out of stupidity, not the band. I seem to have the most trouble when I'm eating with someone and am talking, I forget to chew. heh... which sends me to the bathroom to do a PB, then I can go back to eating, and pay more attention after that.
Prior to the fill, I was eating until I felt full and then just a little more, but then a half hour later, I was in pain because all that food was backed up and would pull my esophagus to the side if I leaned one way or another. This doesn't happen now because I get full faster, and stop eating sooner and I puke if I eat that "just a little more", so I get that instant feedback that I wasn't getting before this last fill.
Needless to say, I'm back into the 180's.. I would have posted on this sooner, but I didn't want to jinx it!! lol
I want to also say, how much difference 10 pounds makes in wearing clothes. A few weeks ago I was bordering around 194-200 and all my clothes were tight. Now, at 187, my clothes are all baggy and pants I've been avoiding because of the pudge now fit me again.
*Crossing my fingers* This is going well, here's to hoping it continues!!
Important note in regards to the fill...
For the last year, all my fills have been done with a certain size of needle/syringe that made it difficult to get a smaller number because it was harder to read, so we were moving up and down at a .5 or higher range. This last one was so small because the doc changed to a different one and was better able to read the amount he was pulling out. I would like to tell you all out there if you are having trouble with getting just the right fill and your doctor tells you that its too hard to tell if he's getting the right amount... Ask for another size needle/syringe!!! They do make them smaller for better accuracy! I did not know this. I could have saved myself tons of trouble last year had I known this to be the case!!

Finally...
Well, I got a new fill last week. I'm up to 6cc's total at this point. I'm really tight, but I'm also at TTOTM. I got my fill the first day of it (last Thursday), so I'm watching to see that it loosens up in a few days so I can eat a bit better. In either case I've lost about 7 pounds since the fill. I'm stoked. I had gotten back up to 197 lbs, not too bad, but still not good. Now I'm back to 190.
I'm hoping to be back to 185 in the next few days. I'm still riding my bike to work a few days a week. Including this morning.
I'm beginning to think my bike is unlucky though. I've been late to work almost every time I've taken my bike to work. I've forgotten my badge, I've not had access to the bike cages, I've left a few minutes late because of bad planning... etc. This morning I was almost late, my chain slipped off!! Luckily I was coming around the corner about a block from work and I still had about 7 minutes left. (Better planning today. heh) I walked/ran to lock up my bike and made it in on time 'ish.
Anyway, I'm off to play Facebook games. Have a great day everybody!! :)

Weight Update
Back to 195 thanks to my bike! Yay! I've been doing ok on my eating. Trying to pay attention to the sweets. I was down to 194 the other day, but it came back up the very next day. I must add that I haven't been weighing in at the same time every day, because I've been too busy to do so.
Anyway, I don't have alot of exciting stuff to say, I just wanted to update ya'll. Have a great day!!

PIE =EVOL
It's ttotm, so I don't know if my current 197 lbs is actually accurate, but that's where I am *cries* I've been riding my bike, but also for the last two days I've been eating pie. And not just any pie, but brilliant, horribly, fattening pie. I came up with the awesome idea to make a pie in three layers, graham crust, with brownie baked in, then a layer of ice cream, then a layer of chocolate mousse. The mousse was probably the least caloried of them, because it was made with sugar-free pudding. Anyway, over the last two days I have had two 1/8th slices of that along with a few spoonfuls of the leftover mousse. The rest of my eating has been ok. Pretty much all good food. Or at least minimal food.
Last night for dinner I had a slice of pizza, just one, well two, that were cut in half so I could have two flavors. For breakfast I had 2 1/2 eggs (I didn't eat the yoke of the third) and for lunch I had a 7-layer burrito ez on the rice, with half the tortilla thrown away. That's been a pretty common theme for the last few days.
I was snacking on some chips day before yesterday though. Man, I really gotta get out of these habits. I looks so bad to see all this in writing. lol
That's all I have for right now. Hope all is well with you guys! :)

Short note
Rode my bike to work today, and several times over the last few days. Loving it so much!! :) Life is ok. Eating well. Not too much junk food. (Not none either.) Focusing on protein again so my hair doesn't thin again.
I'm getting back closer to where I was a couple months ago. Only about 10 more pounds to go.
Current weight:194 lbs.

Facing the music
I did it. I took the plunge and weighed myself yesterday. I've been avoiding it because of my 4 or more months of unrestricted eating and bad exercise habits. It wasn't as bad as I thought!! I've only gained 10 pounds! I didn't think it would be too bad, I am still a 14/16 after all. My size 14 clothes still fit, but they are getting tight. I really need to get back on the exercise bandwagon. I think that would fix my issues all together. Also, I have my next fill coming up next week, the day before my birthday, so hopefully I'll kick myself in the ass and finish out my weight loss.
I was kind of afraid that I would end up doing this. Getting to a reasonable weight, and then stopping and getting comfortable. I need new incentive. It was easy exercising everyday when I got a pound a day or even a few pounds a week loss as feedback. Ever since my band was loosened, I've felt very anti-exercise, and completely unmotivated. I know it's just mental, but it's so hard to get past it. I still exercise in other ways, try to get myself off the couch alot, do more active things with my kids and all that. But I haven't really been doing a steady 1/2 hour or more per day that I know I should be.
I do walk at lunch most days. That's about 20-30 minutes, but it's more of a stroll than exercise. I need something more than that, really. I really need to get back to running every other day. Hrrumpf.
Current weight: 196 lbs.

Official Weigh In Day
Wow, I've been busy. Work has been fairly busy, and so has home. So many things going on, I forget to post here.
So, I've been so busy I haven't been exercising enough. I'm still losing weight because my band is very tight right now, but that's not enough by itself anymore. I've lost almost 80 pounds (only one more pound to go for that goal) so I'm not doing bad, but I would like to have lost just a bit more by now. There have been set backs, like the surgeries, and the unfill, but it still feels like my fault. I was losing 2-3 pounds a week in the beginning, now I'm lucky if I lose one. I go down, then come back up and then go down again. Luckily it's a downward trend either way. I just wish it would go faster. It would help if I didn't eat so much junk.
So on the exercise front I've been getting in some exercise every week. At least one 45 minute session on the elliptical for the last couple weeks. 1-2 40 minute walks in addition to that. I started week 4 of the Couch to 5k yesterday. That was so frickin' hard. I couldn't believe it. Tomorrow I will do it again. I suspect that week 4 will take me 2 weeks or more to get down completely. Had I not been slacking for the last couple weeks it would have been easier, I'm sure.
Hopefully I'll see you guys again tomorrow when I post my 80 pound loss. lol

Still losing
Number of pounds down:
Well, apparently I'm still losing weight. I feel like I've been eating a lot lately, but I guess not. I'm sure my metabolism is better than it used to be so maybe that's part of it. Also, I've been doing muscle building exercises for my thighs. I'm trying to keep them in shape for when I can really exercise again. I have to be careful though, to make sure my heart rate stays down when I do them. So I only do them till I start to feel a little warm and breath heavier, then I stop and take a break.
Sorry for not posting recently. I meant to on my last official weigh in day, last Tuesday, but I got sidetracked. Also, when I'm not losing weight daily it's harder to get excited about posting. I feel like I have nothing to give you to read, heh.
In other news, I have an appointment on the 19th to add more fluid to my band. I've just been eating too much and for the last few days I've felt like I was constantly hungry. Even though I'm still losing weight, it's not very much. It's like a pound a week at most. I'd like to be losing 2-3 pounds a week. Or at least 2 while I'm not exercising.

Weekly Weigh-in
Well, not alot going on around here. I'm back to exercising. But wait, I think I already mentioned that. I went to a party on Saturday and got drunk, and danced and danced and danced. It was great. Wait, I already said that too, didn't I?
I did 40 minutes on the elliptical yesterday. My legs were already sore from dancing on Saturday, so it was a hardship, lol. I made it through though! I feel right proud of myself, lemme tell ya.
I'm going back to the gym on Wednesday for another 40 minutes. I'm debating on next weeks workout. Should I go for a full hour? Or try to go faster, and go for distance? Or should I go uphill the whole time? Or maybe, uphill and an hour together? Oh the choices. I could ask a trainer, but that would involve working with someone else. I do so much better alone.
So, for the rest of this week, 40 minutes tomorrow, 30-40 minutes Friday (depends on if I do it at lunch, or after work.), then hopefully a jog on Sunday. That's my plan anyway. We'll see how well it works out. Maybe I'll skip Friday and run on Saturday instead, that way my schedule stays pretty much the same next week. Yeah, that might actually work.
I also need to do my situps tonight. I was supposed to do them yesterday, and forgot. It was a busy day.
Ok, well that's all for now folks. Have a great day! And here's to lost pounds! Cheers!
Current weight: 198lbs.

ONE-derland!
Wowee-zowee! As of Saturday, October 24th I weigh less than 200 lbs. I am in ONE-derland. I saw it coming, but when it got here I almost didn't believe it. I should have taken a picture of the Wii fit screen. lol
Well, I'm gonna keep up what I'm doing and I'll just keep getting skinnier and skinnier. lol
Oh, in NSV's I went to a martini party last night, and the dress I wore was a size 16!!! Yay! So now I have a pair of 16 jeans, and a 16 dress. I am rockin' it. heh.
Current weight: 199 lbs.

Two-O-What?
For the last few days my weight has been rising a bit. I got back up to 205 as of yesterday. I was feeling pretty depressed about this, because since I can't really exercise there wasn't much I could do about it. I was thinking, "oh great, I'm just gonna gain back 20 pounds and not be able to do anything about it."
This morning, I woke up and weighed myself and got a surprise! I had lost over 4 lbs! Putting me at 201 pounds!! OMFG. I was shocked. I just sat there staring at the screen, stunned. I almost took a picture of it because I couldn't believe it. I decided that I'd save that for when I get below 200. Which I guess shouldn't be long!!
Current weight: 201 lbs.
NSV's:
1. Went to old navy, bought a new outfit... XL Sweater, and 18 stretch jeans. BOTH TOO BIG!! Yay! Going to trade for a smaller size today.

Feeling Crappy
Found out yesterday that my tubes will be taken out today. Big Plus! Awesome.
On the weight loss front, I'm doing alright considering I'm not working out at all. I'm down to 206, which will either level out or increase tomorrow, because they're putting saline in my boobs to increase them in size, so even if I lose a little weight, it'll balance out the boobs. If not, then according to the scale I will have gained. lol It's ok though, I know the real reason.
Trying really hard to get my liquid in for the last few days, because whenever I eat it's 1-2 hours before I can drink anything without feeling like I'm gonna puke. And this isn't even to the "stuffed" point of eating. It's just to the full point. I think there's a chance I may need some unfill, but it could also be because I ate too much at one point last week and it caused me to puke, which leads to swelling which leads to more puking... bad cycle. I'm trying to go easy on it now, and not even eat to full, and I'm trying to stick with soft foods. For the last two days the main portion of my diet has been cottage cheese. I figure calcium and protein. Good combo.
Well, feeling crappy or not, another pound down and closer to 199, so I'm happy I suppose. :)
Oh, one more thing... I was feeling kinda crappy about my progress because of the surgery I thought I wasn't going to lose any weight this month. Well, I was just looking at my weight on the 8th, compared to today... in 3 weeks I've lost 10 pounds. That's awesome. So really, I can't complain.

2-0-freakin'-9
Yeah, you read that right. 209lbs. I lost over 5 lbs this morning. I guess my camping trip took a few days to catch up to me. I was expecting this loss when I got home from camping, but as you know, I actually gained a little weight. Here's photographic evidence, just in case it jumps
I haven't run this week. I'm working on the things I need for my surgery next week, oh - did I mention that it got moved up to NEXT MONDAY? I'm not ready... omg. What was I saying? Oh yeah, getting ready for my surgery next week. I had labs yesterday (meaning they took blood from my arm) and I have my Pre-Op appointment today. And on Wednesday when I was supposed to run, I didn't have my truck with me (the BF had it) so I couldn't go meet my running buddy, Brandy, at the park. Which for me meant, hey, I can wait on that till tomorrow. Well, tomorrow got busy and it never happened. Grr.
I'm going to try to run this weekend, but we'll see. I wanted to get week 2 of the couch to 5k this week, so that I'd be further ahead after my surgery. I won't be able to run for awhile because ... no bouncy bouncy. I will jump back on the elliptical though, asap.
So life was a little sucky yesterday, I was feeling down and very stressed out, from the surgery coming up, from the labs I had to do yesterday (needles - ICK/OUCH).

Date Night
Nothing lost, nothing gained. Well, I told you that at least one day this week I wouldn't lose any weight. Well that was today. Hopefully not tomorrow. I need to make sure I get my fiber in today. lol.
Went on a "date night" with the BF last night. It was alot of fun. Went out to eat at Chapala's mexican restaurant. The food was great, just like before. I'm sure I ate way more than I should have, but alot of what we got fell into the "mushies" category, so I was able to get more down. We shared a basket of chips and some salsa, and a combo plate. The combo plate had a shredded beef tamale, and chimi, and also a chili relleno. I mostly ate the chili relleno, and some tamale. I had a few bites of the chimi. I guess if you add up all the bites from this and that it would equal about a third of what was there.
Good mexican food is my downfall. Along with pizza, chips, chocolate, and many other things!! LOL
Note: In case you're confused, I actually got to 216 yesterday (Tuesday - my official weigh in day), I just forgot to blog. So I'm still at 216 as of today, which means, no loss. I didn't lose even a tenth of a pound! Exactly the same. lol.
Current weight: 216lbs.

I'm sure I ate way more than I should have, but alot of what we got fell into the "mushies" category, so I was able to get more down. We shared a basket of chips and some salsa, and a combo plate. The combo plate had a shredded beef tamale, and chimi, and also a chili relleno. I mostly ate the chili relleno, and some tamale. I had a few bites of the chimi. I guess if you add up all the bites from this and that it would equal about a third of what was there.
Good mexican food is my downfall. Along with pizza, chips, chocolate, and many other things!! LOL
Note: In case you're confused, I actually got to 216 yesterday (Tuesday - my official weigh in day), I just forgot to blog. So I'm still at 216 as of today, which means, no loss. I didn't lose even a tenth of a pound! Exactly the same. lol.
Current weight: 216lbs.

Weight Update
See? What'd I tell you? Today is my official weigh day and I'm down 1.5 pounds putting me just under the 222 mark. So I sit here at barely into the 221, but I'll take it! Yay! I am skinnier today than I was yesterday! :)
What I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - 1 SF Rice pudding
Lunch - The elliptical, not really food, but that was lunch. lol
Snack - 1 SF Rice pudding
Snack(that ended up as dinner) - 3/4 grilled tomato and cheese on whole wheat bread.
I was feeling like I needed a snack when I got home yesterday afternoon, I saw my homegrown tomatoes on the counter, that really need to be eaten soon, and decided that I wanted a tomato sandwich. Regular bread wouldn't work though, so I wanted to try to grill it, as a grilled cheese, with a whole tomato in it! I sliced up the tomato as thin as I could, because it's skin gets stuck sometimes too. I buttered the bread, and heated up the pan. I piled some shredded mixed cheese on one piece of bread, and put a slice of american on the other side. Then added the tomatoes on both sides right away so they could get cooked too. I added one more slice of american to go between the tomatoes so they had something to stick to.
It was a wonderful sandwich. I ate 1/4 and had to stop. When that was clear, I had another 1/4, then about an hour later I ate the other 1/4. My sister ate the last bit that was there when I was done. I will have to do it again sometime, but only half a sammy. That way I'm not tempted to eat the whole thing! heh.
I'm not supposed to eat bread by the way. I usually don't. We're supposed to stay away from most carbs for the first year at least. Yesterday I figured it was ok though, because I'd only eaten 140 cals. up to that point (in the form of 2 SF Rice puddings) and I'd done the elliptical and burned at least 200 calories there. So I was running on empty, and needed something more substantial. Of course this "binge" meant that by the time dinner came around (2 hours later), I was no longer hungry, and the meatballs that were simmering in spaghetti sauce were not to be eaten by me. So, like any normal person, I played the Sims(3) during dinner, while the kids were eating. lol.

Down then Up
I weighed myself Sunday and was down to 222 lbs! Freakin' Yay!! But I wasn't eating well on Friday, or Saturday for that matter, and that all caught up to me today. Stepped on the scale today and I was back up about a half pound. Enough to shove me back to 223 lbs. That's ok though. It's Monday, and that's a common occurrence for Mondays. I'll be back to 222 by tomorrow I'm sure. I usually am.
For exercise this weekend, I was supposed to go back to the Couch to 5k program, Saturday, with my BF, but there was this big hullabaloo and long story short, I didn't go. To make up for it, I walked to Eugene from my house yesterday, which is a 2.5 hour walk. I did the elliptical today, which I really didn't want to do, but needed to do. I think I'm going to stick to that for this week instead of running. I'll wait till I weigh a little less to start the running back up again. The last two times I tried, my right leg/knee hurt really badly. I don't want to mess it up. I don't want to make excuses either, so that's why I'm back to the elliptical. Besides, there are cute guys in the gym. lol
According to the machine, I burned over 200 cals. on the elliptical today, and so far I've only had one SF Rice pudding to eat, and my vitamins. So I've burned more than I've taken in. I haven't had lunch yet, cause I wasn't hungry after working out. I have another SF pudding sitting here, open, untouched. I was gonna have eggs, but never had time to go down and buy them. And now, it's almost time to go home.
Oh well, what can you do? I guess I won't feel as guilty for snacking later at home this way.

Skipped over 225
It's my official Tuesday weigh in day, and boy what a surprise I got! I skipped the 225 mark entirely, and went directly to 224 by losing 2 pounds! How exciting is that??
I was telling my BF the other day that this is like a video game, a roleplaying video game, like Final Fantasy. I get positive reinforcement for doing the right thing, I "gain levels" or rather... Lose Levels! lol .. As long as I keep playing the game.
If you're curious about what I've been eating, here's a list of what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast: 1 S.F. rice pudding cup
Snack: water.... lol - it's true! I was getting hungry so I drank water.
Lunch: a few bites of General Tso's chicken
Snack: 2"x2" piece of cake, with filling on it, and some frosting
Snack: 2 tbsp. tropical crab salad, minus some of the pineapple.
Dinner: 3/4 in. slice of giant hoagie sandwich, and 1 chip
Mind you, I don't normally eat cake. That was my leftover piece from the other day when we were watching movies. There's still some of that same piece in the fridge. And I overestimated about how much I ate of it. The rest though, is pretty accurate. Especially the breakfast. That sugar free pudding is what I have almost every morning, because my band is especially tight in the morning.
I discovered recently some foods that I cannot eat:

- Cooked Celery. Not sure about raw, haven't tried much.
- Overcooked pork chops.

Good weekend...
There was a going away party on Friday night. Went to my brother-in-law's house and said goodbye to Angel. She's going into the military. Played pool, drank 2 TGIF's Pina Colada's, the first one another shot or two of Coconut Malibu Rum was added. The second one didn't get anything extra. I also had a butter baby shot. Overall it was a good night. I got really drunk, and flirted with people. That was fun. :)
Saturday we went jogging, and I repeated day 1 of the Couch to 5k, later we watched Harry Potter 4, as we wanted to watch them all before going to see the new one on Tuesday. While watching the movie I ate some more of my leftover birthday cake, and a few bits of popcorn. I also did 3 sets of ten situps on this day too. After the jog.
Sunday I weighed myself and I was up .4 lbs. Not enough to be really concerned about though.
This morning I weight myself, and I'd lost the .4 and then some. I was down to 226 lbs!! I can't wait till tomorrow! I'm hoping to see 225. That will be awesome. I'm doing really well!
Later today, about 10:30 I'll be going jogging again. Gonna repeat the first day of couch to 5k, again. Because I still can't do all the run segments. When we did it on Saturday, I was able to kick out 6 sets, without my asthma meds!! Yay! And of course, I did walk the remaining time, so I wasn't just skipping out on the whole thing, just the running part. Wish me luck that I'll be able to kick out 7-8 of the 9 segments today. If I can do that, it'll be the last day I repeat day one, and I'll move on to day 2 on Wednesday.
Current weight: 226lbs.
