yikes!  This is as much as they will put in.  The only other option is to use a heavier liquid in the band.

have been working out since my last post 3 days a week with personal trainer doing weights and 2 days a week pilates.  Have lost 8 pounds and 8 inches.  Weight today at 210.  Woohoo!!

1-25-06
Walked on treadmill for 45 minutes
1-26-06
Walked on treadmill for 50 minutes

Goal:
Continue to walk 45 minutes a day
Pilates training 2 times a week
Add 2 days of strength training a week

walked on treadmill for 45 minutes.
walked 2.2 miles
burned 366 calories
2.9 miles per hour and did 1 min intervals while increasing the incline up to 13 and then back down.  Heart rate got up in the 150's.
The pint of ben and jerry's i just ate probably was not a good idea.....lol
Oh well start fresh tomorrow.  My band is very tight right now and well no excuses.....i screwed up. 

walked 45 minutes at 2.9 mph 
walked 2.11 miles
burned 238 calories

one hour of pilates with personal trainer
weight is 217.25lbs

I walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes doing the cardio workout on level 1 and it kicked my butt!!!!!!!! 

My weight is down to 218.25lb.  I have worked out everyday the past week for at least 30 minutes.  My restriction is incredible too.  

goals for this week:
1.  Continue to walk at least 30 minutes per day.  
2.  Try to increase walking to 45 minutes every day. 
3.  Pilates personal training 2 times a week for one hour.
4.  Decide if I want to invest in personal training not to be confused with the pilates personal training.  
5.  Be aware of food choices and intake. 
6.  Drink more water. 

I got another fill on 1-10-06.  They put another .5cc in.  I did not have them check how much was in the band so I would guess .5cc's evapoporated and i am back up to 3cc's.  Already lost a couple of pounds.  Back down to 222.  Worked out on Wed and Thursday for 30 minutes on treadmill too.  Trying to stay consistent and get into a routine.  I begin personal training again next week with the pilates trainer so that will be great too.
