    LadyDiva618 got a reaction from kurusz for a blog entry, My First Fill.   
    BAHAHAHA! I am so silly! How is everyone? I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been so busy at both jobs. When I get home I just want to work out and sleep!
     
    Confession time..... I don't like needles and yet I pick the surgery that requires needles. LOL
     
    Anyway yesterday I had my first fill and it was not bad at all. I didn't look just relaxed.
     
    I forgot there isn't alot of protein in full liquids.... So I brought some tomato soup and added a 1/2 of serving of plain greek yorgurt.
     
    For dinner me and Fun Boy had a greek yogurt. Beleive or not this keep fill until 830 this morning.
     
    Anyway I finally found my port on my own! It is funny how the little things bring me enjoy!
     
    God is good

    Happy Wednesday
    How is everyone? I know I haven’t been on here much lately but I’ve been really busy at both jobs.
    My new work hours have been a real adjustment for me. It has been challenging but I think I have getting the hang of it.
    I will say this planning my meals has really helped because it eliminates the temptation of me eating fast food and eating junk food at the day care.
    The Day Care is my trigger because I am surrounded by cakes, cookies, and chips.
    A few weeks ago I noticed me eating item more often. This is not good because I am still a t plateau.
    So one week I started bringing salad and Greek yogurt to the day care. So I started sharing my meals Fun Boy (my nephew). So he now loves Greek yogurt.
    Last week Snowmagendon hit the Mid-west again so I had left a salad at the day care since my sister 2 kids at the day care I told her go ahead and get them my salad.
    The kids loved the idea and they started bragging to the other day care kids about my famous salad.
    After taking to the parents and my sister we decided to have salad 2 days an week for snack.
    Each time the kids will add something new to the salad or we will buy a fruit or veggie they never had before.
    So far this has been a success! My only complaint is they kids a drowning their salads with ranch dressing! Will be wrong if I replace the Hidden valley ranch with a healthier version of a ranch dressing?
    I am just happy my day care kids are enjoying salads now even though they are going thru to bottles are ranch dressing!
    This is why I love them. I wonder what I can get hooked on now???
    Even though I am still at a plateau I love my band!

    Happy Monday everyone!
     
    I have been so busy I haven't had time to check in with everyone.
     
    I wanted to share this story with everyone so I will try not to bore you!
     
    When I started my lap band journey I only told my family and my best friends.
     
    As I got more comfortable I started telling everyone!
     
    Today a fellow co worker came up to me and told me that he is getting the lap band because I inspired him.
     
    I was shocked but I was so happy for him.
     
    We had this conversation before.
     
    He asked me questions and I told about my journey. But I always told him "my journey will be different from yours."
     
    I am proud to say that I am happy that I was able to inspire someone to live a healthier lifestyle.
     
    I don't think I say this enough but I am thankful for this site and everyone on this site. You guys inspire me to do better and for that I thank you!
     
    So take time to inspire someone today and maybe that person will pay it forward.

    LadyDiva618 reacted to BlueMoon~T for a blog entry, NSV - Well Kinda   
    I had a 12 lb loss last month! I had a Dr appointment with my PCP due to my continued back problems this week. I wont bore you will All of those. Anyway- my blood pressure was 120/70. Unbelievable considering it was 160/111 the last time I went to my PCP. I've lost about 89 lbs. I watch very closely what I'm eating and the quantities. Having the LapBand has been the best decision of my life. OHHH. Plus. My mom bought me an outfit 4 sizes smaller than what I was wearing prior to surgery( as incentive) and guess what? IT FIT ME! My Mom and my two daughters where jumping up and down and screaming with me!! Best Christmas present ever!
     
    Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of the New Year!

    Yeah I am at a plateau..... I am not to upset about it but damn it! I am so close to my high school weight it not even funny! I also found out that my Wii Fit has been lying to me as well this difference is 3 pounds but when I used the quick weigh option it will acturate. I will a little disappointed at first but then I realize that this has been the lowest I have ever been in years!
     
    Okay confession time
    I admit I haven't been making the best food choices and lately I've been adding wine as a food group. However I've been working out either 45 to 1 hour each day.
     
    My plan of action
    Stop drinking wine every night and cut it down to twice a week.
     
    Change my workout routine.
     
    Review my fitness pal diary to review my eating habbits.
     
    Start planning my meals through out the week and remember Protein Protein and Protein
     
    I need to get to ball going anyway I have to train for my first 5K run in April.
     
    I am still happy with my weight loss and I know for a fact I will never weigh over 200 pounds again! This is a promise I made to myself

    Do you like my picture? I have a booty now!
     
    Happy Snowmageddon everyone! It is negative 4 degree over here in the St. Louis Metro Area and over 12 inches of snow. I so want to go outside and play in the snow but it was too damn cold!
     
    New Year Day was my 8 month bandiversary and I went shopping on last Friday to celebrate. So I went to my new favorite store “Dots” and brought me an outfit.
     
    I found me some cute pants but they didn’t have a size 14 but something told me to try on the 11/12. At first I hesitated because I was tempted to go over to the plus size section and find me a size 14. But I then I heard my best friend Lesley voice saying “hoe you better not go over there!” in my head.
     
    I finally tried on the pants and I was stocked when they fit! I even did the squat test in them and passed, but they were a little bit tight around my stomach. I took two pictures one showing my stomach and the one shown above. I sent them to Lesley and she told me I look fine in them.
     
    I just like to say that I am still stock that I have a booty now! LOL my ego gotten a little big especially after the 46 likes I got on my Facebook page!
     
    Anyway I called in work today and I have my two other friends over here. We had an official sleepover last night over here. I think I am going to convince them to do Walk away the pounds 3 mile walk. With or without them I am going to.
     
    Don’t worry about me I am good in the Midwest I have wine and protein mix to last me! LOL

    I'm excited about 2014. I accomplished a lot in 2013 and I can only imagine what god has planned for me in 2014. In 2013 I moved back to Texas, started a new job that is actually using the degrees I have, learned to relax and not to worry about everything, got back in church and got my momma to go with me. I bought a new car, went to Destin Fl, swam with dolphins, made the decision to have the lap band surgery and lost 58 pounds, several sizes and gained a lot of confidence. The clothes I'm wearing now are from 6 years ago back in my college day. My knee pain is pretty much gone. I no longer have the excuse of not being able to do something because of pain. I hoped that by having surgery I would be able to decrease my BP medicine but so far I haven't been able to do that but I'm okay with it. Even though it's not decreasing I feel great.
     
    2013 was a great year for my church family. They started in March in the Holiday Inn conference room but by September we had a building and the congregation is continuing to grow. We have had several baptisms in Jesus' name. It's amazing how god works the church needs an accountant and guess who has a degree in accounting? That's right this girl. We need a music ministry and god provided it to us. 2014 is going to be full of a lot of learning and remodeling for the church.
     
    I normally don't do this but In 2014 I have the following goals:
     
    1) Get down to 140 lbs.
    2) Better my relationship with god.
    3) Learn more about non profit accounting.
    4) Grow professionally.
    5) Grow emotionally.
    6) Run a 5k.

    I really enjoyed my holiday Santa was really good to me.
     
    Guess what?
     
    My coworkers chip in and brought me a FitBit Flex for X-mas!!!!
     
    How cool is that!!! I love my Fitbit and it sync with my fitness pal account. I am still trying to figure out if I need to track my workout still and use my fitbit calories burn? Or stick with the fitbit? So if know the answer let me know!
     
    Now for my recap.
     
    2013 was the year of change for me.
     
    I change my eating habits and my wardrobe.
     
    I change my lifestyle and adapted a more healthier lifestyle.
     
    I change my way of thinking. Instead of thinking about my next meal I am now thinking about what type of workout I am going to do today.
     
    I change my friends since my surgery I learned who is with me and who is againist me. I let all my haters go. (see ya!)

    LadyDiva618 got a reaction from Leepers for a blog entry, It's amazing what a wine cork can do.   
    You are probably wondering what I am talking about? Allow me to explain.
     
    My furnace got fix on Monday and when I got home Monday night I notice there was a smell in my laundry room. I figure that my furnace was smelly because it just got service they normally put a deodorant spray in my furnace to make my house smell good so I figure they probably forgot. It was late anyway I did my 30 min works out, took a nice long bath and went to bed.
     
    Yesterday morning when I was leaving the house I noticed that the smell was still there so I open a window in my laundry room to try to air it out.
    When I got home last night the smell was still there so I went in my house to see if my house smelled to and there was no smell in house.
     
    I knew something was not right so I got in my car and got far away from my house. I called my parents to let them know what was going on. Then I called my local electric company (Ameren) and told them I think I may have a gas leak because my laundry room smelled like gas.
     
     
    Within 10 min Ameren was at my house. Dale was the guy they sent (which was very cute by the way) Dale first looked at my furnace and there was no signal but when he got to my washer and dryer guess what? There was a signal! By this time I was at my back door ready to run! Dale found the leak and he asked me how long have I been living here? I told it will be 5 years in February then he asked me to come over there because I had to see this.
     
    I walked over and I see the wine cork being used as a plug in the gas line! I said “What the F*ck is that a F*cking cork?!” Dale took out the cork and was able to fix it the right way. The picture above is the cork. A million things was going thru my mind after he left. The first thought was how did the home inspector missed this and how long has it been like this? So I had a couple glasses of wine last night but I couldn’t sleep my nerves were too bad
    Today I am doing better and I am thankful to be alive. When I get to the day care I am going to give the day care kids a big hug!
     
    God is Good!
     
    Thank you for reading.

    Happy Monday everyone! How was everyone weekend? Mines was ugh!!!
     
    I was in a positive mood until Friday night when my furnace went out! Yay! Lucky for me I have a home warranty but I spent the whole weekend with a broken furnace.
     
    So how did I survive? I went straight old school. I turned on my stove and my oven and slept in my living room. I am so happy that I have a small house.
     
    Why is every time I get extra money something goes wrong? Anyway I decided to take my bestie out to dinner to my favorite Mexican Restaurant. My intention was to have one margarita and guacamole. Well I did get full of the guacamole but I so did not have just one margarita.
    Let’s just say my a$$ worked out a lot on Sunday. As a matter of fact I multitasked. I was doing step aerobics on my Wii Fit and watching football.
     
    Okay confession time
    I order a steak burrito to go and I ate the whole thing yesterday! It took me 45 mins and I chew chew and chew but I ate the whole thing.
     
    Confession number 2.
     
    To be honest with you guys the burrito could have kept me full all day but I had 2 serving of puff corn and mini ice cream. I blame Mother Nature.
    It out my system …. For now. I have no regrets about yesterday because to today is a new day. To be honest with everyone it is my lunch time and I am not even hungry yet… weird.
    I hope everyone is having a great day!

    Do you guys like my picture of me and Fun Boy? I had him all weekend and we had fun.
     
    How was everyone Thanksgiving? You know what I am actually proud of myself I did good even though I had a big piece of my mom famous Sweet Potato Pie at 11am and it was so good. I even bake a chocolate cake with egg whites and applesauce if only I could of find a healthier version of chocolate icing.
     
    Anyway my big sister host Thanksgiving Dinner at her house and we had fun. I grab the smallest plate that she had (it was one of Fun Boy plates) and had a simple of everything! My daddy even commented that he was on his second plate and I was still on my first and only plate. I just laugh and told him that I have to chew chew chew and chew! He laughed and said that I was doing a good job.
     
    Can I tell you guys a funny story?
    I really wasn't sure about my chocolate cake that I made. One thing about me I love to bake but I don't need eat what I make. This time I was curious so I cut me a small piece of cake. As I was making my to go plate.... Fun Boy was over there eating pieces of my cake. When I looked over there he started laughing and ran. I just laugh and continue fixing my to go plate. Little did I know SJ (Fun Boy) went back to my cake and started eating it again! I turn around and I called his name and he looked at me and said it was good. Together me and Fun Boy finished the piece of cake.
     
    The next day was my moms birthday and I did something with her that I haven't done in a long time..... We watched a movie together. It is true the best things in life are free!
     
    Tomorrow I go back to work and I see my doc on Wednesday. God is good!
