Daily News

Since this is a re-band for me, I also participate on the monthly board for my 1st band (they are an awesome group who saw me through the infection and the long wait til the new band), and they do something really neat.

They have a thread called Daily News. It's a place everyone goes just to chat about whatever is going on - updates on fills & weight loss, questions about the band - sort of a One Thread Fits All. You don't have to post daily, it's just the Go To Thread. It's great because it's easy to keep track of, and get email updates with the subscriptions.

So, I thought I'd introduce the idea here! I don't know if it will fly here, but I figured it was worth a try!

I'll start!

Hi Marchies!

Just a quick check in!

The good - I started walking, on my treadmill, and walking the dog around the park, I'm not totally consistent yet, but I've remembered that I like this. I can do 30 mins on the treadmill, not super fast - maybe just walk a mile. When the dog and I go out (usually just if it's nice on a weekend morning) and it looks like it's about 2miles around the park.

The Bad - I haven't been totally consistent, and I haven't been eating as good as I should - stuff like brats, a little fast food, too many Protein bars (as Snacks instead of meal substitute). Not enough Protein, not enough Water.

The Ugly - I went in for my fill and I officially haven't lost one pound this month! Duh! I actually was down 3 lbs at one point early in the month, then bounced up with all the "bad" things.

So I got another fill, and this one I'm feeling! I think I'm slowly getting closer to that sweet spot. She gave me 1.25ccs, (tried to give me 2.0, but backed it out when it wasn't flowing the way she liked on the floro). That means I have 5.75 in my band now. (I think - I need to check last month's number).

So this month, I have to be disciplined! Do that walking! Eat my protein! Stay away from the easy, naughty foods! Irony - I'm writing this with a container of leftover tuna-n-mac-n-cheese on my lap that I was nibbling for brunch. Bad Hunzi! No!

I'll let ya'll know how it's going!

Always
