On The Losing Wagon Again

[less-of-me 2]

Well after getting to goal weight a year and a half ago I was doing quite well. Then life hit and slowely I have gained 27 pounds back after losing over 100. Before the new year my band was way too tight that all I could eat was ice cream and shakes. well needless to say that waasnt the best for me, but im 2 1/2 hours away from my fill dr and they only do band fills 2 a month. well I schedualed to have it unfilled but that day in dec it snowed really heavy and closed down the only hwy to get there. so, I decided I could wait a little longer (I had been really tight for 4 months), but one day out of the blue m stomach swelled and it hurt and I couldnt drink. By that night I was in excrusiating pain and couldnt swallow. I called and made an emergancy appointment. They took all the Fluid out but my stomach still stayed swollen. For a couple days I could finally drink smothing and then after about a week I could move to mushies. It probably took about a month for all the swelling to go down and eat normal. Well.... since not being able to eat real food for so many months I maybe enjoyed a little too much. I didnt go crazy but I did crave a lot of sweets and carbs. well last saturday night I weighed myself and I was 27 pounds up from my lowest (goal weight). so i put a plan together. sunday I drank a Protein Shake for every meal and nothing else, monday I did the same, tuesday I received a fill and had 2 Protein Shakes and dinner two eggs blended with mayo into mush, then this morning a Protein shake...and so far with just doing this I am down 7 pounds. I know a good portion of that is Water weight but now Im only 20 pounds till I am back at goal weight. I also am motivated because I will be going on a cruise with my husband to purto rico in august and want to be back in good condition. Not to mention I run a lot of 1/2 marathons (in 2 years ive ran 10 1/2 marathons) and with the extra weight it is making it much more difficult to run and in January Im doing my first full marathon 26.2 miles so I need to be in peak condition. I know Im rambling but for some reason putting my goals and journey out there keeps me more accountable and I always seem to have better success. How are the rest of the may banditos doing to date?
