JC, a lettuce wrap is a sandwich, except instead of the bread it is wrapped in a lettuce leaf. I have only the one fill, and can pig out with the best of them, so no, I don't get stuck, yet. I can consume my entire meal within 3-4 minutes...if that sometimes. I am really going to be hating it when I get proper restriction. The bad part is before I even had surgery, in my 2 week pre op stage, I had made myself make a meal last for 20 minutes and I chewed every bite 30 times. HA!!! Those things kinda go by the way side after awhile....so I really need to start working on this again. I am afraid to go weigh today. I feel like I haven't lost and I hate the feelings of disappointment that I see on my own face when I look in the mirror after not losing. The cake sits on the table for me to see all day again, but now, it is a different feeling I am having toward it. I am feeling pissed that it didn't taste better!! I am mad at the cake for not being a better cake!!! Four months ago, I would of had that freakin' cake GONE, in one sitting!!!! So, there is sits, in all of its freakin' high fat glory, wanting someone to eat it, but it is not going to be this hawt ass momma!!! I woke up this morning to a stuffed up nose and sore throat. I am going to be downing Air Borne and resting today. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SICK SO THAT I CANT RIDE!!!!!!!!!! Funny thing is when i was at my heaviest I didn't mind being sick. I liked that I could lay in bed all day and not have to feel guilty!!!! BG, a poop sandwich...maybe that is what I am going to have to start thinking about the things that I crave. Tell myself that it is a poop sandwich!!!!!! J, I am so glad you are having a blast. I bet that would of been a fun time to watch you and gf starting out on that bike. HOW absolutely fun. I have seen a road bike that is tandem. Maybe you should look into getting one. Then DD can go along with you!!!! I know, I know, she is only five!!! But a fun thought for when she gets older!!!

Wednesday 8th August afternoon- one hour strength training with bowflex p.m. 25.45 mile bike ride.. ate a piece of DD bday cake tonight!!

Ok, JC, I DID NOT kick it in the ass. Today my neighbor, who makes professional cakes, brings over a cake for DD bday. Well, I had to look at it alllllllllllllllllllll day long. It was calling my name....Tonight I had a small square of it, and it really wasn't all that good. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not like I thought it was going to be good. I absolutely LOVE frosting off cakes!!! This time though, it was way sugary!!! I just hope that is the end of the wanting for the cake. I am only going to keep that thing around for a few days and then it is history!!!! I did get a 25.45 mile ride in tonight so not too bad!!!

BG, you are rockin' it over there!!!!!! Where oh where is little Juli????? I know she is on vacay and having the BEST TIME ever!!!!!! Riding around on that hybrid!!! Walking up hills, just think of how firm her ass is getting with all that uphill walking!!!!! Oh. My. I am tired...just want to take a nap....maybe I will!!!

JC, we will all be there in our thoughts with you. Let us know as soon as you possibly can what is going on. I think that you are so awesome and have come so far that no matter what the outcome is, you will be just fine. I love the cooler bike too. I wonder if he is selling ice cream out of them. HP, yes, do we ever need help!! Especially if JC here thinks he is a 13 yo!!!! My son, who is 19, just moved out of our house in at the end of April. He and his GF were living in our basement and they moved out into their own apartment. I am glad that they are out and on their own. I don't see him very often, but once in awhile I get too. He joined the pipe fitters union and is becoming a plumber. He makes more money than most of the kids around here at his age. He just got his insurance so I am sure that he and his gf will be getting married soon. My 13 yo had a great swimming party with one friend and multiple cousins and aunts and uncles. I took 12 cupcakes just for the kids. I didn't want to have a huge cake to deal with. I didn't have one!!! I was soooo proud of myself. I came home and had yogurt and graham crackers instead. I ended up wearing my swimsuit that is tooooo big now on the top. I wasn't going to even go swimming, but I decided to do it. I am glad I did. I just wore shorts and my suit and then had a sports bra and tshirt that I was going to wear too, but ended up just in my suit and shorts. I didn't get in any formal swimming but did play some basketball and moved around a lot, so I think that I will count that as some exercise. My SIL said to me as I was eating an "lettuce wrap" sandwich from Jimmy Johns, "you will have to teach me how to eat so I can get skinny like you".

The other part that plays into this is the fact that the news coverage most likely edited the original interview. So, if you were to see the whole interview the way she makes some of her comments might not be in the context that that short clip make them seem.

jm, wooo hooo....love nsv's!!!!!!!!

Tuesday August 7th a.m. 4 miles bike ride to video store Today is DD bday, so going to big olympic sized swimming pool tonight. I can't fit into my swimsuit anymore, its too big!!!! So, I guess that is a good thing...but no swimming for me!!! Edit: I did end up in the pool and moved around for 4 hours so this I am calling exercise. I just wore my suit with some shorts and it all worked out, other than when DH was trying to get the basketball away from me and my suit is too big and he ripped my beeewwwbieee out of my suit.:confused: Other than that, I am fine, embarassed, but fine!!!!

Oh my, today is DD's 13th birthday. Exactly a week after my 37th birthday. I don't know if I want to go through another teenager!!!! The pot smoking, drinking, staying out all night, wanna-kill-them feelings!!! God, I wish I could just fast forward these next 5 years and get them over with NOW!!!!!! *sigh* I am NOT looking forward to this.....but at least I have my bike to take me away instead of food!!!

DEMS, I don't have little kids. I can go for as long as I want to. I know that when my kids were little that was the worst part of trying to diet, trying to find time to exercise. How old are your kids? Could they go biking with you???

Hey those DO look like fun. I would probably kill myself when I stood up though. Kinda spendy. I think I will stick to biking!!!

JC, that DOES NOT sound like run til you drop to me. Now, slow down a bit and don't push it so hard. I'm not saying DON'T EXERCISE, I am just saying be CAREFUL. You know this, you are just too stubborn to listen to yourself!!!

ok, JC, NO NO and NO!!! wait until you see your doctor and get permission...PLEASE?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really, don't push it. It would be better to wait until he says, ok, your fine, go for it!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!! We need you around here! We kinda like ya! J, so cool that you are finally getting so R&R!!! It was def. that bikes. You are an animal on a bike, so it has to be the bike. Thanks for the kudos on the 32 miles ride. I loved every minute of it, okay, maybe not EVERY minute, but most of it. HP, the heat is soooo miserable to ride in. It has been a little cooler here, so it is nicer to ride now. BG, too bad your married...if the security guy was cute you could lock yourself in the room with him.....and have your way with him....get some good exercise while at work...AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, and another thing they started doing here at the WalMart is using your check like a debit card. You write a check and it instantly gets taken out of your checking account. I know a lot of stores do this already, but WALMART???? Come on!!

Hey, our stupid WalMart has a McDonalds in the front part of the store. You have to walk right past it when you enter or leave. I hate WalMart also. I used to spend all of my time there shopping, but now, I will pay more and go further away to a grocery store that I have to bag my own groceries and take them to my cart. I used to work at WalMart though, so I know some of the shit that goes on there. I hate it, and I hate that they have put so many out of business. There prices will go up and then there will be nowhere else to shop because they have ran them out of town. Then we will be forced to buy from them at whatever cost. This is their plan. I think they are the Anti Christ too....LOL

you know what is the best way to get fit. Be around fit people, see how they act, what they eat. It might just be a GREAT new relationship for you. Can't hurt to try it!!

Starr Jones did have gastric bypass!!! I say good for her!!! We all want to be healthy and live longer, and who cares if she didn't want to tell anyone. It IS her life and her body!!!! I didn't want anyone to know that I had the band, in case I failed at it. But now that I am not failing and I am doing so good, I don't really care who knows!!! I say screw em if they can't deal with the fact that I want to be here to see my great grandchildren, who cares how I get to that point!!

August 6th,Monday a.m. bowflex strength training p.m. 11.84 mile ride

BG, you need some of what JC has!!! He has endless energy flowing out of his body. Two pounds is good. Before banding it prolly would of been 20 pounds!!! Good job on the two pounds gained...LOL... HP, that would be awesome to have some others to ride with.

JC is probably hanging out in his new hammock sleeping. OH WAIT, he doesnt sleep anymore, I forgot. BG, are you out there still or are you lost in cyber space somewhere.....COME TOWARD THE LIGHT!!!!!!! HP, You are doing great with your weight loss too!!! Not only are you one hot biker bitch, you are a skinny one too!!!!

Good job Chim, I am proud of you!!! Just wait, you will be clipping off an hour here soon!!

You are so welcome HP!!! You are awesome!! J, I am glad that you have internet access. That sounds like a nice relaxing time. Do you have Zoe with you? Or is it just a two person vacay??? LOL....and I think that the fill is a good thing. I think 5 months going alone is enough. My restriction is completely gone now from my fill on the 23rd of July. I am not scheduled until into Sept. I may see if I can get back in earlier.

August 5th, Sunday p.m. 16.41 mile ride.

August 4th , Saturday Day off.
