Hello and Happy New Year! It’s been awhile since I blogged, (since October!) I guess because not much has really changed. Last you heard from me I was in a size 14 jeans. I’m happy to say that I was able to get into a size 12 over the weekend!! Yay!! As far as exercise goes, I have signed up for a ½ marathon in February. I have been in training since November. I’m currently logging 21 miles a week. I’ve run three races since October. When I’m not running, I’m doing step, kickboxing or HIIT. One thing that is incredibly frustrating is that the scale is not moving! The nurse told me that once you body loses so much; you have to really change things up to get it going again. So…I have decided to pay more attention to carbs and protein. I did in the past, but I’m going to really focus on that. I have been pretty good for the last 3-4 days. I’m on my fitness pal if anyone wants to friend me. (slimndiva) I got my last fill in November and that put me into the green zone. I have to really chew my food and pay attention to how my band is accepting it. It can be finicky at times. I now have 7cc’s in a 10cc band. Took me a while to even feel restriction, but I’m there now!

 

2011 was a good year for me, but I’m determined to make 2012 even better. I got rid of a sorry boyfriend that was stressing me out and I’m looking forward to dating again and living a stress free life! I know my worth and I’m definitely worth more than that!

 

Good luck fellow bandsters! Wish me luck with this journey and I will do the same for you!!

Congrats on all your success! You sound like you're on the right track. I agree with the nurse with regards to your weight loss progress, the human body is an amazing machine, smart too, it's figured you out and may have gone into its own maitenance phase, so I think your strategy of focusing on low-carb, high-protein sounds good. (NOT a doc, jus love to read about nutrition and exercise). Many blessings to you in 2012 and beyond :-D
