3rd fill and finally lost another pound!
Sep 22, 2009
I went in this morning and got my 3rd fill. I am now at 4cc in my Realize band. At home I finally lost another pound and am at 243lbs. At the doc office they have me down over 3 pounds but also at 243 pounds but I think that is because last visit was in the afternoon and this visit was in the morning. Either way its nice to see both scales are showing the same number. Too early to tell because I'm on liquids for 2 days but I am hoping to feel a little something with this one. My workouts have been going great and I'm just hoping to get my eating under control again. I haven't been terrible but I have had some candy and things that I should say no to. My biggest problem now is portions I'm eating and able to eat way more than a cup. I've done ok with stopping myself but I would say I do not stop at a cup but maybe 2 cups. I'm not starving in a couple of hours like I was a few weeks ago but I am hungry in a couple of hours.October is going to be a very busy month for me and lots of birthday parties and my sister's graduation party. All will have tons of food and cake and ice cream. I will need to stick to very small portions or learn to say no completely. I'm hoping to say no completely! So far it doesn't look good for me to get to 220 by mid October like I was hoping for but I still think the weight loss is becoming more noticeable and that is what I was mainly going for. I should still make it under 239 by then and maybe 210 by Christmas time!?!? I was going to sign up for another 5K in October but decided against it because of how busy my weekends are going to be but I will hopefully do 2 in November including the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day. I will continue to train with my trainer 2xs a week and also run 2-3 times a week because I have a pretty good routine going with that and I am not willing to break it. I've even gone as far as paying for a sitter to come over and watch my sleeping child so I can go and run for 45-60 mins when my neighbor is not able to come and do it. I figure its worth the money to focus on myself for just a few minutes because I'm guilty of not doing that in the past.
