It has been an amazing week so far!  I have lost 5lbs so far

On Sunday I ran my first official 5K in Dallas. My official time was 41:47 min and this is the fastest I have ever run it.

On Monday I went for my 3rd fill, she put 2 ccs in to bring me to a total of 8ccs in my band.

On Tuesday  I hit my lowest adult weight ever! at 165 YEAH!!!

On Wednesday I had my first PB experience, this was not fun! but I got to spend the day with a friend that I had not seen in a long time.

On Thursday I went shopping with my mom and I was able to wear a size 12 pants!

Today my weight is 161 and I am only 8lbs from being just "overweight"

I will say that this fill has certianly been a learning experience. Slow down, take tiny bites and listen to you band!

Lovin' Band Livin'!

Ok, so I had a pretty aggressive fill on Monday of 2 cc bringing me to 8cc in my band. I had done liquids for 2 days and today I introduce soft foods -- so tonight I tried tuna.

Let me just say if you are wondering if you have pb'd or what it is, let me just say you will know when it hits you.  3 bites in something in me screamed STOP!!!!!! and I stopped and threw away the rest of the tuna.  But it did not stop, it felt like something was stuck at the back of my throat and all of a sudden I started gagging. I ran to the bathroom and up came all that I had just eaten.  I do not know how to explain it, it is not like vomiting there are no stomach acids or partial digested food involved.  It is just like your stomach rejected what you just put in your mouth and sent it back up the pipeline. 

Although I did not find it painful,  I am not interested in doing it again. Thank God I was at home!

Ok so all was going great I lost 60lbs FAST! but now im just excited to see the scale move down at all week to week.  A single pound a week is a victory. And to make matters worse my hair is coming out in handfuls, this sucks!

Good thing that my hair was thick to begin with, I was hoping to be at 165 by now but I have been a different levels of 166 for a week now

ok whine fest is over

The scale is moving again! After a 3 weeks of going up and down from 171.4 to 173.8 the scal moved in the right direction again. As of this morning I am at 169.8!

I am excited, I want ot be below 165 by the 5K race and I hope to be inching my way to 150 by my birthday. Oh, I realize that I may not be able to make it there by my birthday after the stall, but I will keep it as my Labor Day goal!

Ok so I am getting a little frustrated. I hit 171.4 about 2 weeks ago and since then I have bounced between 171.4 and 173. So now I have to get back to the basics, measure my food, count my protien and make sure I get my water in, plus up the exercise.. I hope it moves soon. I knew in my brain that the first 58 came off fast and I would hit a stall soon, but it still makes me crazy.

I was hoping to make it below 165 by the 5k but now I am not sure it is going to happen.
