Wow, last week I really was convinced I needed a fill.  Turns out that Aunt Flo was messing with me big time!  I didn't consider that I was PMSing because she came a little early. She came to torture me on Tuesday.  This was an extremely hard cycle.  I was in a lot of pain and had a ton or water weight gain.  Some of that weight came back off when the witch left town, but unfortunately a few pounds stuck around.  I was back up to 179 this morning.  UGH I still might need that tiny fill, I am trying to monitor closely what and how much of solid protein I can eat.  

Mike, AKA Skuldoctor came through town last weekend and my DH and I had the extreme pleasure of spending an evening and late in to the night with him.  It really is nice to make real friends through the boards here.  

I am going to a success this week, size 10's here I come!!

  Okay, I am pretty darn sure that I DO need the fill I have scheduled for June 12th.  I have been experiencing hunger this week, which rarely ever happens.  Not only that, but I can eat in the morning and I am not having to chew my food or take as small of bites.  Hmmmmmm  As long as my band placement is still good then, yes, I need a fill.  A small one, but still need it.  

Since, I am not good at fighting obesity by myself I haven't done well this week.  I have been MAJORLY stressed out with some stuff going on with DH and fell to my old fake friend, food, for comfort.  This weightloss is for me...getting healthy is for me....finding my willpower when my band is a little loose is something I will do for me.  I am back up to 178 this morning and I am going to do something about that, for me.  

This week really went by quickly!!  I didn't do very well this week, either!    I know that I can't be perfect all of the time, but sometimes I really get mad at myself,  I didn't manage to exercise at all.  I had good intentions.  I went over to my BFF's house and brought my Shred DVD with me.  She was gone the entire last week at a conference so we had some catching up to do over wine and cheese.    We had a good time as always...but damn, I really slacked this week.  LOL

Another week another chance to lose some more weight.  I am back to 177 as of this morning.  UGH.  No worries, I am still a loser and will prove it this week.  I am about 99% sure that I will be going to the OH conference in NYC this October!!  I am so excited about that!!!  Brenda is going to go with me and we will get to see my brother and his wife in New Jersey also!!  Yeah!! I should be able to meet a lot of great OH folks there!!  I would love to be down to goal weight by then.....4th of July looks to be out for sure!  LOL   I still am not sure if I need the fill I have scheduled for June 12th.  I will keep a close eye on my eating habits and restriction between now and then.  

So glad the weekend is here!  I know it will fly by, but I intend to enjoy it!

Well, Dear Aunt Flo left on Tuesday, and even though I didn't go COMPLETELY overboard I did eat sort of bad for all five days she was here.    She is definitely one relentless bitch.  ha ha ha  However, I was okay and I got Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred DVD. KICKED MY BUTT!!  OUCH!!  So, I am back down to my lowest of 175 pounds.  I will get there and get'er done.....no doubt.  I am still feeling very motivated to keep it up. Even if every muscle in my body hurts to move. 

I wore most of the new cute skirts I bought last weekend, got plenty of compliments. I have been going to the tanning salon and am starting to see the results of that also.  Never had tanned buns and boobies before.  Interesting! 

I just took some measurements and from 4 months ago I have lost another 5 1/2 inches all over.  Probably more, because I never measure my calves and ankles, but my legs are looking much slimmer these days! 

So, I am staying positive...I know that I am still a loser!! 

I truly love being in this zone.  The place where I am confident of what I have already accomplished and looking forward to what I WILL accomplish with the help of my tool, supportive friends and ME.  

I did okay this week.  I went to Booty Boot Camp by myself since my friend had company in town.  I was proud of myself for doing that.  I don't think I will be able to afford that class all of the time, but it really kicks my booty!!  Brenda and I decided to do some work out DVD's at her house a couple of times a week and use the gym at work also.  

I am just wanting to really treat myself well right now.....inside and out.  That's a good feeling.  I want to eat the right foods, exercise my body and make sure I look good.  I am going to a tan salon near my house today to see what kind of deals they offer.  Getting my hair cut and my nails done also.    

My weight went back up to 177 this week, but I have no doubt that it's all from my period.  It started yesterday.  Of course I ate bad yesterday, but I do allow that for myself.  It's not taking me off the rails.  

I got myself my dream "little black dress" yesterday!  I LOVE IT!!!  I modeled it for DH and he said I look very HOT in it.  ha ha!!  Can't wait to have somewhere to wear it!!  It was extremely cheap....got it at Ross (my new favorite store) for $18!!  It looks much more expensive though.  I was never able to find stuff at Ross pre WLS.  So, I never went......and only recently started going back.  OMG, I end up having to put stuff back as I can't afford everything I DO find these days!!  ha ha ha!!  Love shopping in the "normal" sizes!!
