I weighed myself today and I LOST 2.4 LBS (1.09 kg)this week for a total of 72.2 pounds (32.75 kilograms) in 53 weeks. I HAVE LOST THE WEIGHT THAT I GAINED WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY FILL PLUS MORE!
I worked out with my trainer again this week and I was able to do the running workout we did last week slightly faster, which is good...BUT, let me tell you, RUNNING IS FRICKEN HARD! HOLY COW! You will never know how in shape or out of shape you are until you try and run! Sooooo proud of myself that I am actually able to run a little and looking forward to getting better and better. I could not go to spin on Monday because I had a date with my dentist...5 needles, that AWFUL drill and a swollen lip...that is how I left...I did do 2 weight workouts this week and my goal for next week is to add a walk with Frank...
Frank and I went out to his favorite Chinese restaurant Saturday night and I ate like 1/5 of my meal...I LOVE IT! LOL, I feel great! Actually chewing and savoring each bite is entirely different than feeding from the trough once the dinner bell rang, LOL!
Well I have about 3 months AKA 12 weigh ins until I leave for Venezuela and I have to say I am really excited on one hand to see my family but PETRIFIED of those itty bitty airplane seats! :( I mean I usually fly with Frank or with someone else and I can lift the arm rest up and sort of overlap onto them...Sooooo CANNOT do that this time, and I am just not sure how this is going to work..The plane ticket is expensive enough in coach that I DO NOT have the money to upgrade to First class where the seats are bigger...Let's just PRAY that it all works out and I can buckle the belt and fit in that seat.
Today kicked off a 21 day fast at my church (www.liquidchurch.com). Because of the band I could not fast from food BUT I gave up something SOOOOO HUGE: SEINFELD!!! NO Seinfeld for 21 days, I cannot even imagine! I usually watch at least 4 episodes a day and twice that on the weekend, and as you know I interject Seinfeld quotes into EVERY conversation, so I am certainly feeling this BIG TIME...But with the extra time, I was able to pray and study the Bible a lot more than normal...Expecting God to do GREAT things during the next 3 weeks... Until Next time, Thanks for reading!

One Year Already!
I weighed myself today and I LOST 7.8 LBS (3.54 kg)this week for a total of 69.8 pounds (31.66 kilograms) in 52 weeks. BACK ON TRACK...THANKS TO THE FILL I JUST HAD!
Well it was one year ago this week that I had the surgery that would change my life. I am not not going to lie, I would have liked to have reached the 100 pound mark at this point but the last 3 months, fighting with the insurance and waiting for the fill and indulging (can't forget that!) have not made it easy. But the band is tighter now..Trying to determine if it is tight enough at this point, seems to be, so we shall see.
I did an AMAZING workout this past saturday...I RAN! I ran a lot for me...the workout was an hour long with periods of walking and running sprints. I ran longer, farther and with greater intensity. When I reached the door I could barely breathe. I felt like I was put through the ringer. I was DRENCHED in sweat, which does not really happen for me so I was impressed. I also did a spin class as well. I wanted to go to Spin tonight (Monday) but my legs are like jello, still! So I did some upper body work with my Bob Harper DVD.
I feel sooooo much better now that I have the fill and the only thing I can say is I will keep on trucking! LOL I am exhasuted, thanks for reading!

YIKES!
OK so let me be real for a moment. If you have been a loyal reader you know that I have promised to be honest. I have described my OBSESSION with food which has led me to become obese and ultimately why I got the surgery in the first place. you will also recall that the last few months have been INSANELY hard for me because I needed a fill soooooooo badly and I was unable to because I was fighting my insurance company. So over the last 3 weeks, I did not even feel the band. I was exactly how I was pre surgery...Dreaming about food, tasting everything, eating like I was going to the chair! I have to say, I ENJOYED MORSEL that touched my tongue, including the Chocolate lava cake filled with melted peanut butter and vanilla ice cream on top that I had for my anniversary. Oh did I mention, the cheese steak egg rolls? How does one see such a concoction and not try that??? LOL Anyway, I weighed myself today and I am PAYING THE PIPER BIG TIME! I weighed myself this week and I GAINED A TON!!! Mind you some is period weight, but for the most part, this weigh in is all my doing, it is all because of the binging I have done for the last 21 days! Are you ready? I am going to tell you, but you might want to sit down for this...I GAINED 9.4 POUNDS (4.26 kg)!!! THERE I SAID IT! I have lost a total of 62 pounds (28.12 kilograms) in 51 weeks.
I have a friend who said, "Did you learn anything?" "Didn't you learn how to eat less etc..Well My answer to that is NOOOOOOOO! I got this surgery because I NEEDED IT! If I would have been able to get the fill when I needed it, I GUARANTEE you that I WOULD HAVE NOT gained this weight! A food obsession, more like a food ADDICTION is what I have....The good news is that tomorrow morning, I am getting my long OVER DUE FILL, and back on track I will be...I thought about not being honest, but that is NOT the point of this blog...Let me be clear, I have eaten very out of control over the last few weeks...The stress of fighting my insurance, missing my mom like crazy and just life in general were the catalysts, but I DID it..I ate and ate and ate..I ate sport of like a Great White Shark, I mean it was almost as if I were unconscious and my eyes rolled over white and I was eating while in a trance like state! So I have beaten my self up ENOUGH..So if you are going to post something Negative, DON'T BOTHER! I have a food addiction, which is NO DIFFERENT than a cocaine addiction..I understand it is important for me to get to the reasons behind why I eat soooo much,and I am committed to do so, HOWEVER, I need this fill and I need it soooo badly! Anyway, thanks for reading, and tomorrow, my journey continues with the proper help that I desperately need!

GREAT NEWS!!
I weighed myself this week and I STAYED THE SAME. I have lost a total of 71.4 pounds (32.4 kilograms) in 50 weeks. I THANKFULLY HAVE GREAT NEWS!!!! I am getting my LONG OVER DUE band adjustment next Wednesday!!! SOOOOOO EXCITED because I have not done much of anything in the last several weeks because the band is too damn loose! Looking forward to getting back on track and proceeding to my first MAJOR goal of 100 pounds lost! Nothing else to say really, I have been doing some upper body weights and taking some leisure walks with Frank. One more week till I can return to my running regimen and to spin class! 8 DAYS TILL MY JOURNEY IS BACK ON TRACK! I guess it would not be called a journey if there were not some detours along the way, thanks for reading!
