September 7 2014
Three months since my last update. I still have not figured out how to get blogger to change things over to my new email address so I'm not over here very often anymore.Really sucks.
It's been almost two years since my lap band surgery. I am no where near where I thought I would be on my weight. I started off around 235 lbs. By now I wanted to be 100 lbs down from that but because of my poor choices I am only down 22-25 lbs. I stopped going to my lap band doctor over a year ago so I have not had any fills or unfills. My insurance changed and those visits are no longer covered. I have not called to find out what the cost would be to keep going. I'm pretty embarrassed to even go back since I know that I am not keeping to the program.
I know that I can eat more than I should. The doctor wanted me to have 3-4 bites and that would be it but I eat more than that with some foods. It's probably about accurate with steak/chicken etc. But I'm still over doing it and then losing it because I pushed past the amount I should have eaten. I have no problem with sweets going down and staying down...so I eat way too many of those.
I still do not miss soda at all. I do miss certain foods but not like a mourning miss ..just a "Oh it sure would be nice to have a hamburger with the bun"! I pretty much stay away from bread all together. I can do pizza if it's very thin crust and cooked very well so it's not doughy at all. We do meat lovers pizza at least once a week. I have a few pieces..nothing like the old days of polishing off a large pizza almost myself.
I went walking last month with some friends. Made it two miles. I was sore for a week after. I really hoped that I would keep it up and do it every week with them at least once a week but alas I havent.
I started working four days a week at our Venice office. They have a kitchen and cook lunch almost everyday, or go out for lunch. And there are always sweets! I've noticed the scale slipping back up since I started working there. I was down to 209 when I started working there and now it's a steady 212. WILL POWER where are you?!
I am not blaming anyone but myself. I need to get my butt in gear and be more motivated. I go to bed each night with big plans on what I will do the next day..only to wake up and repeat what I've been doing.
Ok enough of this debbie downer post. Aren't you glad I updated?? lol
Goals...eat better, eat less, cut out sugar, exercise!!

Happy Friday!
I fell a bit behind on my posting . We've been keeping busy with the work around the house and getting ready for the girls weekend coming up. Nothing going on with the weight loss. Still junking it up with my diet and getting zero exercise.
I had to do the worst task in the world last week (try on swimsuits) I was totally depressed and sickened by what I saw in the mirrors trying on all the suits. Think anyone will mind if I swim in my clothes? Ugh!
I keep telling myself that "tomorrow" I'll eat better, "tomorrow" I'll start walking again, or biking, or going to the gym. How do you get out of a rut?
I'm at work and can't access all my pictures as of late so check out the instagram feed on the right hand side of the page for updated pictures :)

April 21 2014 After Easter Update
Happy Easter Monday!
We had a nice long weekend and got more done around the house. Vic got the front wall primed on one side (the side that you see from the street).She also pressure washed the drive way and carport area-it looks so much better!! We've made some decisions about the plants that we are going to put out front. I was gifted a chocolate cherry tomato plant and made my first earth box and replanted it.
We had our 2nd annual Easter breakfast with Vic's son at Burgundy Square Cafe. I had much better luck this year and kept my egg and bacon down.
The scale has not changed this week..still at 209.
I've had a little more candy this week due to Easter (FAIL). Vic has cooked quite a bit but we did go out a few times for the first time in weeks (Longhorn Monday, Pizza delivered one evening and then Burgundy Square for breakfast) Other than the pizza, I think we've made wise choices when we did go out. I usually stick to soup because it works. Tonight I'm making chili.
My mom gave me a desk yesterday that I'll be using as a vanity. I'm pretty excited that I'll have a place to store my make up and a place to sit and put it on . I'm so blind that it's hard to use the bathroom mirror because I'm too far away from it. The desk mom gave me is pretty narrow so it will work better for me.
Also last week I tried fried green tomatos for the first time.Probably not the best thing for me, but I had 3..they were delicious! I am not a fan of tomatos but these were very tasty.
I hope that you had a fabulous Easter and this week finds you smiling and happy! xox

4/14/14
I don't have a ton to report since my last blog. We've been working around the house getting ready to buy it next month. Vic pressure washed the front yesterday, I cleaned windows and carpeting. Looking forward to planting some flowers and getting our new fence up.
Vic's been cooking more. We've (mostly Vic) stopped buying sweets so there is no "snack" or junk food in the house. It's worked very well for Vic, I think she's lost over 10 lbs since we started doing this almost two weeks ago. Me on the other hand can't get sugar/candy out of my brain. I've made stops at the drug store just to pick up Milk Duds or M&M's. The scale remains the same for me (209) I was hoping to be back to 200 the end of Feb and here it is the middle of April. No ones fault but my own.
I've not gone to my WLS doctor in a very long time. I should call and see what it will cost on my new insurance but I have not wanted to go back until I lost more weight because he's kind of rude when I go in and have gained.
I'm looking forward to a busy summer. I have a girls weekend coming up next month with ladies I've known since childhood. Then my step mother is coming over the 4th of July for a short visit. And let's not forget all of the babies! We have friends or family due in July, August, September and October! 2 girls, 1 boy and 1 still unknown. I am really looking forward to having some little ones in our lives...it's been far too long.
This is my attempt at sticking with weekly updates. I hope next week I am full of positive things to say and can be a little more inspirational to you and ME. :)
xoxo
