Midweek crisis
on April 29, 2008 10:44 pm

4/29/08.  I had a bit of a crisis last week so I didn't make my goal of exercising 4 x last week.  I haven't been back to the gym since last Tuesday due to working nights.  I plan to get back on track tomorrow.  It's tough to find the ambition to go after you've worked all night and then slept all day.  I really need to push myself.  I'm starting to get a big saggy so I definately need to step up the weight lifting.  That has been one of my biggest fears.  I don't want to have "relief society arms" (cultural joke).  I am proud to say that I am finally in the 220's.  It's been a long time since I've seen that number.  It's getting so close to the 100's.  I can't wait!  I also got into a pair of scrubs the other night that I haven't been able to wear in over 2 years.  I felt so awesome all night wearing them.  It feels so good to be losing the weight.

Eating too much?
on April 22, 2008 1:36 pm
4/22/08.  So yesterday when I was at my doctor's office, his MA asked me if I was measuring my food.  Well I told her I didn't, I know it's bad, etc. etc.  Well she told me that they had to take 3 people back to surgery in the last month to correct band slips.  That scared me, because there are days that I push my band a little too much.  So then my doctor comes in and gives me the same spill about measuring my food and not overeating my band.  I'm really nervous about this.  I guess that I have to go back to the basics and no more eyeballing.  I definately don't want to end up back in the OR to have my band fixed.  They have some little condiment cups that they give for quick measurement and I"m going to use them, and make sure I'm not eating too much meat and other stuff.  

I also decided that I'm giving up potatoes.  I love them, and I eat way too many french fries, baked potatoes, and mashed potatoes.  I guess it's the country girl in me (my dad was a potatoe farmer).  I'm actually kinda depressed about it, but I can replace them with much healthier options.  This one's gonna be tough, but I really want to make my goal and these little things are really sabataging my efforts.  I'll keep you updated on how life without potatoes will be

I'm feeling really tight today.  I still haven't eaten real food yet.  I tried some cottage cheese and it hasn't bothered me.  I think that I will hold off on solids until tomorrow night and see how I do.  I think that I was swollen when I got my fill.  I had a PB episode the night before, and I didn't know this until I visited the doc yesterday that if you PB you shouldn't eat solid for 24 hours.  Guess that's another thing I am going to have to correct.

Another fill
on April 21, 2008 1:50 pm
4/21/08.  I had another fill this morning and I'm feeling tight.  When I drank my glass of water after my doc filled me, it went down really slow.  I had to sit on the bench for a couple of minutes to make sure that it went down OK.  I think that I might be a touch too tight, but I'll give it a day or two to test the waters.  I am on clears for now so I don't know if I'll be able to tolerate anything yet.  

I'm starting my goal of 4 x a week at the gym today.  I read somewhere that you have better success at achieving goals if you write them down and update them, so I'll keep track on OH to keep myself honest. 

Well gotta go for now, my endless stack of homework awaits, until next time.
