OK the other day the question of the day was "Do you have any regrets"
well of course I don't or did not. Until last night.
OK here goes its kinda long.
I only told a few ppl that I had lap band done ...My 3 kids, my hubby of course, my little brother and my MOM.
my regret is trusting my MOM. She has a big mouth and I am mad as H#L#. She told my sister. The sister that never has wanted to be around me because I was fat, I might embarrass her! She would not even go into a restauant with me for coffee. They are both BIT#$@S. Oops did I really
type that!!!!
Well I may never talk to MOMMY DEAREST again. OK I guess that's enough it tells the story so its not too long. I wasn'y very nice!!! 
Sorry!!!!! I just needed to vent!

I've had a hard time with the carbs lately - and I agree - he gets a grip that's hard to escape! The easiest way for me to get back on track is cold turkey - literally! I go back to a strict protein diet - no carbs at all - for a few days... then relax it again... I guess this is what maintenance is all about - up a few, down a few...
I walk, mostly... on break and lunch, and sometimes in the evenings...

I don't really have a problem with carbs. Having said that, if I do eat some bad carbs, I find that I want more of them, so that's why I stay away from them. I don't worry about good carbs, like fruit and veggies, and I eat whole grains. I just try to stay away from the snack foods.
As far as exercise, I do weight training 2-3 times a week. That is, I do weights, circuit training and also work with a 6 lb. medicine ball. In addition, I walk. Sometimes I walk to work or I walk at lunch time. Today (Saturday), a friend and I took a walk through some woods near here, primarily to scope out the area for winter when we'll snowshoe or cross-country ski there. When the good weather leaves us, which I'm dreading, I'll probably do my cardio at the gym on the upright bike or the elliptical.

With lapband the carbs do not work well. If you have proper restriction it get stuck and then it comes back up....That's not pretty!!! 
Exercise I go outside everyday with the granddaughter in the stroller and run up and down the driveway, I do this about 25 times which comes to 1.5 miles....Then I do WII Fit every night with my grandson....

I refuse to fall victim to the carb monster! Seriously though, I don't look at it like that. I make sure I eat carbs in moderation, so that I'm not "forbidding" anything. Yesterday, I baked DH cookies. I had two. Before WLS, I would have eaten half of them. That's progress.
When I go to the gym (where I'm about to head off to!) I usually do cardio (about 25 minutes) and then weights. Today's just cardio though.

I recently took on a part time job in addition to my fulltime one, so I apologize for my tardiness.
If you have fallen victim to the carb monster and escaped his grip....how have you done it?
How many times a week do you exercise and what exactly do you do when you exercise?
