OH Juli

Oh, is that all??? W, That's FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!! i

It occurs to me as I just went to look at my blog, that I started it two years ago. I started this entire journey two years ago. Wow wee. I've had other blogs, I know they are so like, 2001, and that's about when I started writing. Just an intersting note.

I got to meet C today! Hi-C! Like the drink! LOL! The LBTers in central Ohio got together and C drove the 1.5 hours to join us. Well that and her DD wanted to shop at the fancy mall that met at. :thumbdown: It was a great meeting and C is very bike-eee. BG, HP, B if you are back in the midwest, we all have to do the Labor Day ride in C's neck of the woods. It was really nice to meet up with a bunch of folks who have the band or are about to be banded. I've not known anyone local, so it's a real pleasure. Happy happy.

Hey everyone, It was so good to meet you all. Next time I want to talk more with you gals at the other end of the table. See you in a month! Juli

Yo J-Baby. It's been a minute since I stopped in and checked your progress. Glad to see your sernomas are resloving. I'm sure not being able to run has got to have you down. Do you have some running objectives for the spring/summer? Is work going well? Are you buying some new fantastic clothes? Catch us up! Juli in Ohio

I like the laughing cow and the mini babybells. I also have taken to eating fancy cheeses. Since being banded I've taken to learning about cheeses and wine. Little bits of strong flavored foods seem to be my new thing. cheese can pack a flavorful punch.

I've not had problems flying. I don't think you need to worry. As for foods it's easy to find Soups and eggs in most places. As for your son, just tell him you're being careful about calories and avoiding carbs. I'd not get unfilled. I'd just be very mindful. HTH

Oh wow, those are some great or horrifying depending on your pov, stories. LOL I needed a few weeks before I could write about mine, Pamela you get props for posting on the same day! I know there have to be more, come on people.

I belly danced at my highest weight. Too much moved independantly and I just couldn't handle it. I think it might be fun now.

Yo, Jess. Where in Ohio are you? I'm in Columbus...

BG, Isn't funny how you don't always get want you want? How was the cycle shopping?

The only thing that a reasonable friend might feel badly about is the fact you couldn't trust her to tell her your plans. Friendships shouldn't hurt or induce gulit. I'm sorry there's something in the way of fully expressing yourself with your pal.

PB stands for productive burping. Which is bringing up what can't go through. HTH

C It's is so hard to wait, but girl you'll be a hottie by summer. You'll be a bicyling babe along side the rest of us. There's enough stuff to worry about that you can influence, there's no need to stress yourself over something you can't. April will come. Trust me, I'm counting every day with dread. My thirties end in April.

oh, oh, I'm an 18 Now....I can't wait to rummage in your bag of stuff! Sa-weet!

Jeni, That is very exciting!!! Good for you! I'm getting a fill next week. It will be my third since being banded. W00T

If I'm going to blow the day, it tpically happens at night. I don't have any hints. :tongue2:

TX-Girl, nice to see you here!!!!!!!!!!!! HP-Being accountable is a pain in the butt, but what else can you do? I'm sure you'll get those pounds off and see your goal. I second, "Come on Spring!!!" BG-So that's what your hair looks like? I've only seen it in a helmet or ponytail. You're looking fantastic. JC-I'm sending you good JUJU. "6 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 weeks" Peace all. Turler is C for Carol. TracyinKS I think should be KS. We'll see if she accepts it. I get to meet C tomorrow. Imagine that! A bunch of central Ohio LBTers are meeting at a local mall and C is driving from Northwest Ohio down for the day. Isn't that uber cool?

Now it's homework time. W00T W00T. I've got to run outside in the cold later today. Burrrrr. XO y'all.

food is still a constant thought but not like it used to be. I think, "Don't forget to pack your lunch" now. Before I'd wake up thinking, "What can I eat, NOW, and at lunch and later and for dinner and ooh it's a birthday so I'm gonna have cake, gosh I'm hungry." The chatter goes away. It really does.

Man, I thought you were talking about $ex.

I have a before upper body shot of me I'm willing to share. I don't have many that were full body poses. I do think we need to take a photo of us as a group on Saturday and when we get together subsiquently, so we can see changes etc. However, I'll respect anyone's desire not to be in the picture. How does that sound?

Yo C. I was in a meeting ---GROAN--- all morning. The flooding sucks. My place is nice and dry though.

I'm running my first 5K on the 17, I know W00T go me, (said sarcastically). I've been running indoors, but it's time to take it outside. I have four runs between here and there. I'm in Ohio, where it's just about freezing. Burrrrrrrrr. Running today 3.5 miles, outside, in the cold.

and one more time.
