I weighed myself this week and I LOST .4 pounds (.18 Kg). I have lost a total of 71.4 pounds (32.4 kilograms) in 49 weeks. Well it is a loss, I need a fill soooooo badly! I am going to be trying to work on something today. You see they do fills every day at the office and if I can get them to agree to do it there in light of my insurance issue..maybe I will pay the difference if it is not INSANE..Then maybe I can get it done sooner and reach my goal of 100 lbs by my 1 year surgery anniversary. that would make me super excited. I call over there today, so say a prayer!
Two weeks ago, I did a workout to my Biggest Loser DVD in my living room and I did the workout in my socks...Well this apparently is a HUGE NO NO! Ever since then my foot has been bothering me but I have been fighting through it, something I have done for years...Well this past Saturday, I worked out with my trainer and we started running. I was thrilled because I felt great, cardiovascular, but my foot was throbbing! It hurt so bad, I have been limping ever since. So today I went to the Doctor, GOT ANOTHER cortisone injection and was fitted with a boot! I have to stay off of it for 2 weeks! My doctor said that after the 2 weeks, he encourages me to continue doing my run sprints because the more weight I get off the better my feet will feel..Anyway, I learned my lesson about working out in socks! I just did not think I needed sneakers in my living room! I must add that I was really impressed with my running pace and I think this will only get better. I also did DIPS! I was able to do 15 of them without stopping..THIS IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT, as I was never able to do them before
So as you can see..although my weight is not going anywhere, I am maintaining until I get my fill BUT I have had several nice exercise accomplishments..My plan for the next two weeks is to just do upper body, weights, and the pool! Thanks for reading...

Night before...
I weighed myself this week and I STAYED THE SAME. I have lost a total of 71.2 pounds (32.3 kilograms) in 48 weeks. On one hand it is good that OI did not gain, considering how I am struggling but I am pissed nonetheless. I have 4 more weeks until the one year anniversary of my surgery and I wanted to be further along than I am....
On a good note, I did my measurements this week and I have lost a total of 39.75 inches off of my body since my surgery...That is over 3 ft, or a small child! LOL, Since my last measurements were taken 3 months ago, I have lost 6.25 inches...So if I am trying to look on thr bright side, I do have that...I also have perserverence, becuase I will get there, and I cannot wait!
I am writing this blog entry on Monday, contemplating as to what my morning weigh in will be like. You see, it is no secret that I am struggling. I need a fill and I cannot get one until April 20th at 8am...The reason for this is that my insurance changed and I was able to get my insurance company to pay my doctor his fees BUT they will only cover services in the hospital...So I cannot go to his office for a fill...He only goes to hospitals on Wednesday mornings and since I am not tenured and I recently took off two emergency days from work, I am basically screwed until my next Wednesday off which is not until spring break!!! I was sooooooooooooooooooooo depressed this past week that I actually DID not eat Anything for 2 days, and we all know that is not good, if I could explain my actions, I would, but I cannot. When I finally got out of my funk, I ate well, but not crazy...I am being soooo much more conscientious about my food choices and trying to cut my portions down even more..However, when the band is filled to that "sweet spot," I can eat a reasonable meal and not be hungry for 4-5 hours, now I am hungry in 2.5! This presents a variety of issues for me, as I find myself thinking and fantasizing about food much more than I should...In addition, when I worked out this week, my foot started hurting again so I had to take a few days off from intense working out. So even though I am going for walks and lifting weights, I am not spinning or doing intense fat burning cardio until I can manage the foot pain..So you see I have no idea what tomorrow will bring...

OH BOY!
I weighed myself this week and I GAINED 1 pound (.45 kg)!!!! I have lost a total of 70.6 pounds (32.02 kilograms) in 46 weeks.
I NEED A FILL REALLY BADLY!!! Since I made the big drop, my band is now much looser, and therefore I am able to eat more. Unfortunately, my doctor only does this procedure on Wednesday mornings and since I already took off 2 sick days, I spoke to my boss and she would prefer that I have this procedure done when we are off. The next Wednesday that I am off is April 20!!!!! That means I some how have to figure out how to continue losing weight with MINIMAL help from this band as it is very lose and my appetite is much LARGER than it has been in recent months. Please provide me with your suggestions as I am FREAKED OUT as how I am supposed to make it until April 20th, doing this all by myself..My track record over the last 32 years dieting on my own HAS NOT been very successful, hence the need for the band in the first place!!! LORD I NEED YOUR HELP HERE!!!! Anyway, I have nothing else to say, I worked out 4 times this week and still gained weight, if that gives you any indication as to how lose this band is! Thanks for reading, send your prayers and any useful advice you may have...Until next week

GRRRRRR!!!!
I weighed myself this week and I lost .2 pounds (.09 kg)!!!! I have lost a total of 71.6 pounds (32.48 kilograms) in 45 weeks.
I am DEFINITELY pissed! I stayed the same last week and was sure that I would see a nice drop this week...I really have no idea what is happening inside my body! Unfortunately, last night was my dad's birthday and maybe, just maybe. the meal I had which included some french fries, just a few, made me not lose this week...I don't know! All I know is the longer it takes me to lose this 3.5 pounds, the longer my husband is going to continue to have two boxes of Good humor Chocolate Eclairs for Dessert (he did that this weekend!)I worked out with a trainer this week and started my workout routine again, so that is another reason why I am really confused...The only other thing I can think of is that my period is coming next week, maybe that's it...I also feel like I am in need of my second fill, but since I had that emergency last week and took some days off of work, I cannot take anymore and the fills are done during the week only! So I have to wait until I have a day off to get one! Anyway, I am really, REALLY pissed this morning! Until next week, hopefully, I will have good news!
