Fill Fun On Monday!

I know I'm obsessing too much about things when I have dreams about them. The other night I had a dream that my boyfriend's roommate (who is a female, and don't worry her bf lives with them as well) went over to my boyfriend's mother's house to drink and my boyfriend decided he'd rather do that than hang out with me. Now he knows that his roommate bothers me (which she does, that could be a whole blog for another day) and it bothers me that I still haven't met his mother (but yet the roommate has, anyway, moving on, because who is really reading thing?) So, last night I had a dream about getting a fill at my mds office, it was so realistic! It wasn't anything crazy, just a fill lol. But I know what is bothering me. I'm an old timer with a 4cc lap band implanted. Right now there is 2.5 ccs and I have been feeling some restriction until lately (for me, knowing there is no restriction is my stomach growling. I usually tell people that's not real hunger but that's bull$!*t and I'm sorry if anyone believed me). What if she puts in another cc on Monday and I still have no restriction? She is also measuring the saline by taking it out to see if any seeps out every month. What if there's a leak? OMG I need not to obsess about this! Tonight is casino night. My one friend and I aren't staying over. Everyone is bringing their boyfriends or husbands. Mine can't go because he works on Saturdays. Also he is being a little cranky lately because he hasn't been able to sleep much. Saturday I'm going to clean, do laundry, and make dinner for the bf we'll probably just watch a movie. Sunday IDK what I'm going to do, but that's my fabulous weekend. Also I would like to announce that officially on Monday I'm going to start c25k and also some weight training I was going to put if off until March, but what's one week early going to do? Kill me? Well if you don't hear from me Tuesday morning you know the answer lol. Have a good weekend

Pictures

In December of 2011 a bunch of my friends and I went to NYC to go to Rockefeller Center and do the whole touristy NYC thing (I've lived literally an hour away from NYC my whole life and have never done anything touristy there! So if anyone wants to visit and needs a tour guide don't ask me, I have no clue!). So anyway, we took a picture of the four of us. That was when I was at the weight that I realized I gained 30 lbs since having my gall bladder taken out (314 lbs). The picture sits in my office. Every time I think about eating crap I look at my bloated face and think "nah, I don't need it, I worked too hard at this" also in my office is another picture of me taken 1 week before my surgery when I was at my highest weight (322 lbs) and another picture next to it when I was my lowest weight post op (250 ish?) these are just reminders for me not to put food in my mouth and to keep up with the fills, the workouts, eating right etc....because if I looked decent at 250 ish or so, imagine how I'll look when I'm at my goal weight (180 lbs). I'm also a little worried because right now I have 2.75 ccs in a 4 cc band, and this is the most that has ever been in the band, and I can eat things and not feel true "restriction" granted I'm not hungry between meals but it's still scary. For example last night for dinner I had 1/2 c of general tso's tofu (homemade!!! Never made Chinese food before!) 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli and 1/4 c of brown rice. I ate everything except for a couple of bites of the brown rice. Something I'll have to bring up at my next mds appt. On a personal note I have my 90 day review for my new position at my job, I hope I don't get demoted lol. Week two of c25k is hard, I don't think I'm running fast enough. I think the next workout I'm going to try to amp up the treadmill to 5mph in the beginning until I can't stand it anymore. Going to the gym tonight to do some weights. Have a good day!

Weekend Roundup

Ohhhh I was such a bad bandster this weekend I'm not going to even get into it, started with margaritas (4 of them) Friday night and went sort of downhill from there. I realized that I cannot take a vacation from eating right, but I also realize on the weekends I don't eat like I normally do (three meals a day 5 hours apart) and that's where the trouble starts. New goal for this weekend: FREAKING EAT MAN! Saturday was quite busy. I went to my local day spa and got my first Brazilian, not for anything special but because it was time for Andrea to put her big girl pants on and stop cutting myself in my lady bits, and it does not hurt! Everyone told me it was the most painful thing, oh come on, getting my eyebrows waxed hurt! After that I went to Aldi's, which I used to not shop at because I only liked high quality foods (ie Trader Joe's Whole Foods) now to be honest with you I don't give a crap what I eat in regards to the quality, I'm so not into food anymore. I just make sure it's dense protein and my daily calories are around 1000/day and 60-80 grams protein/day. For two weeks worth of groceries, I only spent 57 bucks at Aldi's (which is dirt cheap in Connecticut) after that I went to Big Y and got my cat food, and whatever I couldn't find at Aldi's for another 40 bucks worth, so I have to say for grocery shopping for two weeks of food for me and my cat under 100 bucks is awesome! On the way to my dbf house, I forgot to get a V-day gift, so I stopped at Gamestop to pick up a gift card, well while walking to the store (this is what I get for parking so far away) my bra strap breaks! So I have to walk in there with one perky boob and one droopy boob and I'm just like "hurry up, I got to get a bra!" so I go next door to Dots (which is like a hoochie mama clothing store, honestly though I buy clothes from there that aren't hoochie mama, but you know) and get a bra, which the boyfriend loved, and I'm like "this is not sexy this is out of necessity lol". What a day That night dbf and I went for sushi for a belated V-day dinner, I was so worried that I was going to get sushi stuck, but alas I did not (I really don't want to eat sushi, I love it so much, that I want to be restricted enough just to eat sashimi because I could eat those darn rolls all day!). At the restaurant they had this crab salad that I devoured and I think that was the most I ate, also shrimp tempura ::hides:: I'm hoping by my next fill I will only be able to eat sashimi, fingers crossed! Sunday morning, dbf brought breakfast in bed, mmmm those eggs were salty lol. Didn't finish eating those. Went home later, and made my dinner for the week (beefy tortilla soup with an extra can of kidney beans for protein) in my crock pot. Then I was so un motivated from cooking that I had a lean cuisine for dinner ::hides again:: I also tried to figure out what a 4 mile run would be from my house to wherever (my previous post, if you didn't read, was my goal to run a 5k next year) my friend who runs them told me once I get the endurance to run 4 miles since it's a little more than a 5k, so the 5k will be easy. So I drove two miles and holy crap that's a long distance, but I'm going to do it!!!! OH OH OH! One more thing, I bought two big things of plain Chobani yogurt and a ton of mix ins, so today's Chobani flavor goes as such: 1 cup of 0% Chobani with 1 T sugar free white chocolate instant pudding mix 1 T Torani white chocolate syrup (sugar free duh) and 1 T sugar free rasberry preserves.....YUM! Tomorrow I'm going to mix in Coconut Torani and some canned pineapple for a pina colada. Sounds good, no? Well time to get to work, thanks so much for reading, everyone stay motivated, and if you had a bad weekend like me, remember today is a new day, be accountable, get moving and DON'T GIVE UP! XOXO, Andrea

Friday Free For All

I love Fridays I hate Fridays too. Why? Because this is the day that I don't keep track of my calorie and protein intake. Why do I do this? Doctor's orders, she doesn't want me to obsess, and also not to eat the same thing every day (which I do), so that it confuses my body (I kind of imagine my body going "hey what the heck? Eggs? Veggies? Omlette? Where's my chobani??????") trust me I feel the same way, I'm having chobani withdrawls. I hate Fridays..... I'm so tempted to figure out how many calories the egg white omlette is, but I can't. It's only ONE day a week. Four days a month. DARNIT! The MD and I are going to have to talk about this.... On another note, I realized I cannot keep any snack food in the house. Last night on my way home from work, I just got really stressed thinking about the future and how I have no control of it and I hate it (yes if you haven't figured it out by now I'm kind of a control freak). I was on my phone with the dbf while I was getting ready for the gym and I said "I cannot wait for this vacation because I need a week to really figure out what I want in life" so then of course he thinks it's about him (which to be honest, it is) and thinks he can read my mind and knows what I need to figure out (but darn he was right). And of course I got stressed out. So I went to the gym. 40 minutes on the elliptical, with cramps, thought I would feel better. Nope still stressed out. Go home, have dinner (portobellos mushroom pizza, peas, and a little bit of hot antipasto) still stressed. And of course when I'm stressed where do I go? THE KITCHEN!!!! and sitting right there is a bag of trail mix. I usually only have an 1/8 cup of serving before bedtime. And here I am sitting on the couch hand to mouth with trail mix. Then I realized wth this isn't going to solve the problem, and I throw the 6.99 bag of trail mix out. Along with any other snack food (which there wasn't a lot to begin with). Until I get my emotions in check, no snack food in the house. Tonight, I'm going to dbf house for Chinese. I'll probably have shrimp chop suey. This weekend will be spent cleaning the house (how the heck does one cat shed so much?), laundry, then dbf comes over and I'm trying a new recipe-taco pie, which I just realized I didn't get the ingredients yet at the grocery store DARN! Sunday I am just vegging out to catch up on my DVR. 43 days until Key West....sigh Have a good weekend! XOXO, Andrea

Monday Is Back

Well we made it to Monday. This was a tough Monday because of Daylight Savings Time. Totally forgot to replace the batteries in my smoke detector. It's on my grocery shopping list now! This weekend was pretty hectic. After I got out of work, I walked with a group of women that I take the train with from my job to the train station, which is probably about 1/2 mile walk it's just in a dangerous neighborhood--safety in numbers. I wasn't out of breath and walking a lot faster than the other two lol. I got home, showered, changed went to the dbf house. We went to the mall I had to pick up some body wash and other things at Bath and Body Works (my favorite store in the mall!) for my vacation later this month. After that dbf wanted to cook for me, but we were both too tired, I treated him to sushi down the street. Now we go to this sushi restaurant ALL THE TIME this is always my test to see if I have real restriction, alas this time, I could eat sushi, but I was full quick. But, wait let me get to the best part of this story.... The last time I was there I ordered Ketel One and cranberry juice, the woman who made them poured the drinks perfectly. One and I was good. We get seated and asked what we want to drink dbf asks for coke I ask for "ketel one and cranberry". The waiter comes back with a drink menu for frozen drinks and asks "do you want one of these instead?" uh, no I'm good. I go "all you have to do is pour Ketel one into a short glass with some ice and a splash of cranberry juice" I said this in a NICE way. Then I asked for water too because I had a feeling there was a large language barrier here. Five minutes later the waiter comes up and says "we don't have any vodka" I say "what kind of vodka do we have?" he goes "no vodka at all" seriously????? So I ask for a water again. Needless to say it took 5 times to get water for me, and by then I didn't want it bc I don't drink when I eat. I ordered edamame and this crab salad I'm obsessed with, one thing of shrimp tempura and some sushi. I didn't get stuck, but the band is still there. LOL. So I'm hoping next fill will get me into the "green zone". I paid for our dinner, left a horrible tip (the service sucked!) and as we are leaving the restaurant, there is the bar and guess what is there? KETEL ONE! I hate being lied to! My poor dbf I thought he was going to die laughing. I was pissed. Oh well, maybe next time. Saturday morning I went to the gym to complete week 2 of c25k (week 3 starts today oh boy) did some laundry, then got ready to go out to dinner with my dbf my friend and her husband. We went to this Mexican restaurant in town, which is way too expensive for what they serve. I felt so bad for my dbf he asked for a taco plate and they bring out these three mini tacos. There really wasn't a lot of food. We had shots of tequila, there killed my appetite. I had shrimp and scallop cerviche wasn't that great.....def won't be going back. Went out to play pool after had more drinks, after that the night was fuzzy......ugh. Sunday we woke up to a crying cat who was HUNGRY! So we got up, I fed the cat, and we headed up the Newburgh, NY to meet my parents for brunch. My dbf, a smoker, was dying for a cigarette. We went to the truck stop near my house. I got a ton of Powerade Zero and a coke (I was hoping the bubbles would help induce some sort of vomiting----I know it's not good, but I had to throw up!). Ugh they had Easter candy out. I got two reese peanut butter eggs and a cadbury creme egg gosh darn Easter I hate it! But on a good note, I drank the coke, didn't puke and realized how gross coke is. I used to drink it all the time, now I stay away from sodas. We got to the diner, had brunch, well actually we all had lunch lol. I ordered a tuna melt and only ate 1 1/2 of the sandwich, didn't touch the fries I was surprised with myself. Maybe this is going to work out! Got home from that, tried to make breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week. Got as far as breakfast. I'll work on lunch today after the gym (baked falafels) and just have a lean cuisine for dinner (I know they're horrible you don't have to tell me twice!) Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Be My Valentine Challenge

So today is the official start day of the "Be My Valentine Challenge" looking forward to it, my goal is to lose ten pounds by the end of February, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. So glad to be eating mushies today, was on liquids all day yesterday and it was no fun! On top of that I worked overtime, and I did not give up on the gym, and why is it when I'm at the gym there are a ton of food commercials on? Really???? This morning I was up at 3am, I've been doing that every night, I wish it would stop because it makes me so tired in the afternoon! Well time to get my day started, have a sick cat at home (Buddy), or he could be faking it, I don't know. All I want to do is get my day over get home and make sure he's okay, I'm such an animal lover. All he did was cough a little this morning and I freaked out, almost called the vet at 6am! But I'm just going to monitor how he's doing because he's eating and drinking, going to the bathroom, and is not hiding or acting depressed. I think he did it for attention (the coughing) to get me out of bed so he could eat!!! Yes, I am the cat lady (just kidding!) Have a wonderful day!!!!

A Way Better Day!

So enough crying and whining yesterday--today was a new day and I think I did alright! I had some scrambed eggs, a hash brown and also got some pink grapefruit that I couldn't eat. I think tomorrow I'll cut out the hash brown, it was a little gross. Had my kashi cereal for lunch and I just discovered these AWESOME chips that if I can find them in single serving size at the grocery store I'm going to pick up, because 75 cents a pop at the vending machine is a little expensive. They are from Herr's and they are "popped chips" they are good, but I could probably have way more than one! Last night my friend and I went to a "total conditioning" class. I did alright, kept up with the instructor and did my first pushup EVER! I was so proud of myself! I did more than one pushup obviously but I was just in shock with myself! The part I couldn't do were the "planks" those are tough, but I'm going to keep up with it, and try to do it. I have to call tomorrow to pay for the rest of the classes I'm kind of sad that I'm going to miss the class next week. Also the girl I went with I convinced her to go to Zumba with me on Thursday nights after I get back from vacation. So, with everything being said and done, that's 5 nights a week of excercise! Tonight I'm going to go to the track and re-start week 4 of c25k since I missed Monday due to the migraine. Thursday I'll do another c25k train and then Saturday when I get down to Florida. The dbf is going to come over tonight to hang out and relax since we won't be doing much of that Friday! Have a good day everyone!

COURT!

so I have to go to court today and it's raining out and my "trial" will probably be delayed. It was talking on my cell phone while driving and in Connecticut if it's a first offense you have to go to court and show a receipt for a hand's free headset. What a waste of a day! And it's raining out too! So I'm going to be getting my exercise in by walking about 5 miles roundtrip from the courthouse to my car. So far what I ate today: Breakfast--1/4 Cup seafood pot pie minus the pie part (just crabmeat and lobster) Lunch--2 Slices of turkey with 1 T low fat veggie cream cheese rolled up (my favourite next to egg salad) Dinner--Not sure yet. It's going to be a GREAT day!

Technology And The Band

BACK WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, WE DIDN'T HAVE APPS FOR OUR CELL PHONES!!!! LOL I'm in a funny (ha ha funny mood today) which made me think about technology has helped me as a bandster, and I have to thank my dirty little secret... fat secret that is Not only is it a FREE app for your phone, but it also is online as well, and it links your accounts. Where my office is, I have no cell reception. But, being the sometimes good bandster that I am, the food that I'm eating is already recorded on my app, but for example if I don't eat something, I can go on my computer, log into my account on fatsecret.com and update the food for that day, then when I do have cell phone service and check the app it's updated. Sooo freaking cool! I swear this is not an advertisement they are def not paying me to promote the app. Let's see I weighed myself this morning, gained 4 lbs, but down 2 lbs since Monday so I'm blaming Aunt Flo for the 4lb weight gain she is such a pain! Went to the gym last night for only a half hour, but I have to say that usually when it is my TOM I don't want to go to the gym at all. Today I'll go for 35 minutes, Thursday 40 minutes and Friday 45 minutes. Also just received my Keurig brewer for my office in the mail yesterday, I'll bring it in Friday (I take the train to work and the train is least crowded on Friday). I usually need that ONE cup of coffee around 3pm to get through the rest of the day. I already brought in my mug, a teaspoon, and non dairy creamer. Tomorrow I'll bring in some K-cups. As a bandster I thought it would be good, because after every fill, I'm on liquids for one full day, so I can bring in some cup of soups and use the Keurig to heat up the water for it! I realized last night that changing jobs has helped me be a good bandster. My old job required me to have such a sporadic schedule that sometimes I would only have a few minutes (literally 5) to eat lunch. The job I have now I'm so independent, that at 9am, I stop whatever I'm doing have my breakfast and at 2pm stop everything again and have my lunch. Sometimes a life change will change your health too. Now I'm not recommending everyone leave their jobs for something else. I did it for the independence, the stable hours (M-F 8-4:30) and the flexibility for time off. And I love every minute of it! Well enough blabbing for today. To people that read this, I'm going to start asking you questions for input....when you work out and start to do weight training, how do you find what's best for you? Do you hire a trainer? Go online? Or just wing it?

6 Lbs Down In Two Weeks!

Went to the MD yesterday afternoon, and I lost 6 lbs from my last visit there on 1/16. So proud of myself! Sometime I feel like I'm not working "hard enough" at losing weight, but I guess I am because the scales don't lie! Signed up for the February weight loss challenge, my goal is to lose ten pounds, let's see how it goes. The MD yesterday put 2.5 ccs in a 4 cc band this is the most I've ever had in this band, and she told me I have plenty of room left to be filled, which felt wonderful. The last time the APRN put 2 ccs in and said "there's not much left from here, if you don't lose weight I'm going to have to have an RX written out for diet pills" so I think who you are working with makes a great difference. The MD is definetly more positive than the APRN (isn't how that always goes?) So today, I'm on a liquid diet, Wednesday and Thursday "mushies" and Friday back to normal eating. I'm hoping I hit my sweet spot, but I won't get impatient if I don't. Went to the gym last night as well, 30 minutes on the elliptical, going tonight for 35 minutes. Also booked my trip to Key West we are going March 24-31, and flying directly into Key West, which I'm nervous about since I don't like to fly in the first place and the flight into Key West is going to be on a small plane!!!!! Wish me luck! Have a good day everyone!

Mondays

What a day, and it isn't even noon yet. I have to work on a take-home midterm exam that is just going along SOOOO slow. Then for the same class I have to revise a paper that the professor tore apart :help: but I only got a C- on the paper which isn't THAT bad considering a first draft. Oh and on top of that, I woke up early to take the train, and it was delayed 30 min, so I had to drive to school. I don't usually mind, but I'm trying to save miles on my car since I'll be driving an additional 80 miles a week for training for my volunteer program (can you tell I'm excited about it????:clap2: :clap2: ) Tonight when I get home I'll walk 2 miles briskly. This is what I packed for my meals today: Breakfast--1 Scrambled Egg Lunch--2 oz Ground Turkey w/ mustard Dinner--1/4C high protein cereal. I also packed 1/4 C applesauce and 1/4C of pudding but I'm not hungry yet for snacks, I think I'll wait for lunch. Have a good day everyone, wish me luck on this midterm it's killing me!!!!!!!!!!:faint:

Just Feeling Blah!

Nothing much to report back on solids again, had a chobani for b/fast with some granola (1 T) and yogurt covered raisins (1 T), was feeling fine until an hour before I could eat again and my stomach is growling, I know that's not "real" hunger but it's annoying. Wooo talking about "real" hunger, um let's see what have I learned this week: headaches and fatigue for me = hunger. On Tuesday, I had a huge headache, I was still on liquids per mds orders so I thought "well maybe I'm hungry" made myself a protein shake and sure enough voila! Problem solved! Yesterday, I was so tired that I ordered a cup of coffee (something I don't usually do after 4pm) and a packet of veggie cream cheese (since I was still on mushies) at D & D and I don't know if it was the coffee or the cream cheese, but once I got home, I was ready to go kick some @$$ at the gym! So, I think I figured when my stomach is growling, that's just my body being pissed off. When I have headaches or am about to fall asleep standing up, that's hunger. Also I ordered a Keurig for my office, I really do think I need a pep in my step in the afternoon. It's 1:30pm here and I'm yawning! Have a good weekend! I'll be back on Monday!!!

Would You Like Some Cheese With The Whine????

This morning I went on a rant in the forums about my Friday night. Now I'm over it, and I don't care. I finally broke down and called my mom and told her what happened. My mother, who grew up in the 1960's and was what the kids call today "straight edge" probably gave the best advice: "get over it, clubs have been doing this for years, they want a certain 'look' and if you don't fit that look either pay or go home" whoa mom! How do you even know about clubs in the first place? Actually she does my dad took my mom to a disco on their first date and proposed to her on the dance floor of a disco (picture John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever doing the hustle and saying "marry me Bonnie" lol) But I guess she was right, oh well it's their loss because I probably would have spent a lot of money there. The rest of the weekend was alright. I slept most of Saturday made dinner for the dbf, which was a test for me, since I haven't eaten pasta since my last fill and guess what I can eat??? Pasta!!! What the heck?!?!?! My lapband doctor has me fill out a questionnaire before I fill to determine if I'm in the green zone. Here are some of the questions, and if you're a newbie or an old timer (like me) then maybe it could be questions you ask yourself time to time: Are you throwing up? Nope If so how often? Can you eat meat? Yes Can you eat chicken? I hate chicken! Can you eat pasta? Yup Can you eat rice? Yup Can you eat bread? Yup Are you feeling hungry between meals? Yup Are you drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day? Yup Are you excercising? Yup Then they ask what I ate the day before. Sundays for me are usually hit or miss. Yesterday I had a couple of tablespoons of leftover dip with some baked tostitos and a frozen dinner that's it. IDK what it is about Sundays but I don't eat that much. Well that's all I'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow with my fill

Happy Valentine's Day And A Nsv Right Now!

Want to wish everyone a great valentine's day, if you don't have a valentine, I'll be yours, I have love to give to everyone! I wasn't going to write today, because I didn't really have anything to write about. Then the caffeine hit me and I had a total NSV!!!! So, in case you didn't know I'm going to Key West in oh let me check my calender....39 days. Usually, all I can think about for a vacation is what I'm going to eat, what the food is like, etc. Not so much this time!!! First I decided in March I'm going to try the couch to 5k program (if anyone wants to be my buddy for this let me know!). I'm also going to start working on weight training for my upper body since my dad and I will be going out deep sea fishing while in Key West. Gotta get jacked to reel in the big one (I hope I do!!!). So then instead of thinking of food, I was thinking about "how am I going to work out on vacation" well my parents must have read my mind because my mom sent me an e-mail asking if they wanted to pack my bike in their RV (they are driving from New York state to Key West in their RV, I'm flying). UM, YEAH ABSOLUTELY! The RV resort where we are staying is at Mile Marker 15 on the Keys, so I'm thinking that in the am, I can ride my bike to at least Mile Marker 10 and back, maybe more, who knows. Can you even ride a bicycle on US 1? If anyone knows let me know thank you. So I have to consider this a NSV when I'm usually thinking about "oh what restaurants are we going to go to" or "what am I going to cook while we're on vacation" I'm more concerned about how I'm going to work out. So proud of my self ::hugs:: Have a great day!

A Very Good Weekend

This weekend wasn't so bad food-wise. On Friday all I had was the omlette from breakfast, some coffee for lunch and some General Tso's Shrimp for dinner. Saturday the dbf and I just pretty much vegged out at home. I made a taco pie for dinner, he wanted chips and salsa with it, so I got those and I have to say I was proud of myself I only had three chips with salsa on it (the salsa was so good, I ended up taking a spoon and eating it, screw the chip!) So today is Monday back to the grind, going to the gym elliptical 30 minutes. Had my chobani this AM, cannot wait to start doctoring up plain chobani next week! Have a good Monday keep on smiling

Friday Is Here!

Well I finally made it to Friday! Nothing much to report. Back on solid foods today. Had my usual egg white omlette and it was soooo good and I actually feel quite satisfied with it. We'll see how long that lasts lol. Plans for the weekend: Friday night dbf and I are getting together probably order take out watch a movie. Saturday morning going grocery shopping, doing laundry. Then I have my friend's son's birthday party at 5pm, then I have to go to dbf house again and go to his roommate's birthday dinner (I really can't stand her, and can I just say he spent WAY more on her birthday gift then he did on mine last year smh).

If I don't pop in on these boards this weekend have a great weekend everyone!

Nsv (Kind Of I Guess?) Also Goals, Food, Etc....

This morning after I got out of the shower, I wrapped the towel around me, usually it comes undone the minute I move, oh, anywhere, but it stayed around me until I had to get ready, I guess this is some sort of a nsv (if it is than yay!!!) Which got me thinking about goals. Also it got me thinking about how oblivious men are. Before Christmas, my co-worker was telling me about these rings that she gave her son's girlfriend for Christmas, they're called stackable expressions (google it!) so I tell my boyfriend about them (and not for nothing they are not that expensive!) for a Christmas idea and sure enough, guess what I don't get?? But he did give me a nice necklace. Okay back to goals, so I've decided that with every ten pounds I lose I'm going to get one ring. Of course I'm not going to buy them every time I lose ten pounds, but for example, when I lose 50 I'll go to the jewelers and pick out five, cannot wait! If I look at another shrimp again I'm going to be sick. I'm all shrimped out and that is one of my favorite foods, oh well they always have it at the grocery store. Next week I'm getting a fill and the mds requirements are two days of liquids two days of mushies and then solids by Friday, I totally forgot about this, so I guess I'm going to have to freeze the meatballs I made last night and also the corned beef and cabbage I'm making this weekend, but hey it's always good to have meals on hand! Last night I went to the gym for 45 minutes on the elliptical. I like love to listen to music while working out, I have the iheartradio app on my phone, and I put it on to the spin cycle station, which is great club music and NO COMMERCIALS it keeps me motivated enough that I don't even realize that my time is almost up. By the time I got home I was too tired to pack a breakfast and lunch for work tomorrow, so I had to resort to the cafeteria here, which is okay. I had a veggie egg white omlette with a little cheese it definetly filled me up. I've realized I cannot be so obsessed about how many calories/protein I consume a day. If I eat something and I'm full, then I'm full. I'm going to try that for the next couple of weeks and see how that goes. Can't give up on my chobani though! Have a good day!

Blah, but back on solids

I am so tired today, I think because I've been in front of a computer screen all day. Today I'm at school until like 4ish and it's so cold in this friggin' computer lab. Well I'm back on solids now. I'm trying to do three meals a day and lots of water in between. This is what I had today: Breakfast: 1 Scrambled Egg and 1 Slice of Seedless light rye bread Lunch: Tuna and canellini bean patty (2 oz) and 1/8C collard greens Dinner: 2 oz pork chops and 1/8 veggies. I've been drinking a lot of water and chewing a lot of gum! I'm not hungry until I know I'm getting ready to eat. I brought a cheese stick for work since I won't eat from 2pm to 10pm. Blahhhhh. Well after I eat tonight, I'll be walking two more miles. So far since Saturday I've walked 6 miles. WOW!!!! Oh yeah, Borat comes out today, gotta buy that!

Weekend Is Over :(

Had a great weekend, including Friday. Friday I tried to not write down what I ate and just concentrated on how much I was eating, and to be honest I had a really hard time with it. It's definetly mind over matter which sucks and I'm hoping I can work on that eventually. Anyway, Friday night went to the dbf house for dinner, he ordered Chinese, I had crabmeat rangoon and a small thing of pork fried rice and that filled me up. Saturday I was cleaning like crazy all day, I had eggbeaters with cheese and some sausage in the morning, a chobani with some granola and yogurt raisins for lunch and had corned beef, cabbage and carrots for dinner (corned beef is disgusting! Never tried it before, not my favorite cut of meat, dbf loved it!). On Sunday my parents called me early in the morning and wanted to meet up in Newburgh, NY for brunch (Newburgh is halfway between the two of us, they live in NY I live in CT). So much fun I don't know why we didn't think of doing this sooner. It's an inconvenience for me to drive 3 hours back and forth, and I usually have to take a half day off on Friday, this worked out perfect. I had a mushroom and cheese omlette some hashbrowns and rye toast, and that's all I ate for the day, except for a handful of trail mix. Today I'm back at work, I'm hoping the week goes by quick, I took next Monday off, to recover from Super Bowl (go pats!). I have an appointment at my surgeon today at 4pm, I'm nervous to see how much I lose/don't lose in the past two weeks, my last appointment was on January 16th and I was down 21 pounds from my weight on my surgery date. I'm hoping they bump me up to 2 ccs in my band and see if that helps, if not it's only 4 weeks and I go back again for another fill. NOT GIVING UP THIS TIME!

Saturday

So last night I went bowling with my cousin and her husband. I did horrible! But my butt is killing me, so I guess I got an unintentional workout along with all the walking from yesterday! Today I did a brisk 2 mile walk. I don't know what I'm going to eat today. I think I have a general idea. I have to eat breakfast and lunch back to back since I can't eat at work, usually I have a snack in between to keep me full. Breakfast (10:30)--1 scrambled egg 1/2 slice white american cheese Lunch (1:15)--turkey roll-ups with 1 T cream cheese Sustinance (3-9:00) (for work)--Protein drink and water Dinner--(10:00) 1 oz ground turkey and 1 oz of spinach (to help with constipation) I'll see how that goes my dad said it worked when he was on Atkins.
