How's life treating you...or you embracing life?!!!

Hi gang,
It's a great day out there today, not too hot or cold. Just right.

So....what's up? Are you taking care of yourself today? Rewarding yourself on "Non-scale victories"??

Yepper today I'm doing just that, I'm going for a manicure and pedicure. Why? Oh...just because! It's that type of day for me. I done did my spin class this morning at 0545 for an hour. Took exercise buddy Juli with me this morning, it was her first spin class. She stayed in the saddle for the whole hour!! Juli works down the hall from me and will be getting her RNY around December. She will be a success....why? because she has embraced the lifestyle change...way before she even has surgery. I'm so proud of her.

I'm one of those wacky people that don't weigh myself, okay once a month...maybe if I remember. I don't have a scale but my step-daughter who moved in with us (she's going through a divorce) has one, so I use hers when I think about it. I just go by my clothes. I won't let that nasty scale dictate to me. But if you do this you have to be honest with yourself always. I exercise everyday, try to follow the rules...am I perfect? Nope and never will be. Perfect people are way too boring for me. I loved the book called First Break All The Rules. LOL...

Okay some rules I never will break like drinking with my meals. Never. I have to be extra careful. I'm a revision. I have to do this right for me this time.

As Darlene says we are all different. That is so true. We all have our trials and sorrows and rainbows and sunshine. We have to ride the roller coaster. Sometimes that ride is darn bumpy isn't it?

Thanks for reading and you have a blessed day. I love this OFF site!~

Today I am embracing life.

Got a lap band fill today and so am on liquids.  Got in 30 minutes on treadmill this morning and a 20 minute outside walk this afternoon.

Know that things are going to get better.

Thanks,

Jeane 

My BF just got a fill yesterday. She is hungry. Don't know how lapbanders have x2 days of liquids after a fill. BF said most LB don't follow that after they are further out. She is doing mushies foods today. I support her 100%, what a gal she is!!

You have fun on that walk! It's a pretty day today. I'm ready to leave work soon! Yiiipppeeee!!

It felt good getting in that extra walk this afternoon.

I just do 1 day of liquids and then move on to mushies tomorrow for lunch.  If those go well I may just do them one day and then slowly move into healthy regular stuff.

Just want to get the pounds off that I regained!

HI!
It's a good thing using your clothes to gage your weight.  I remember reading that anything over a 5 lb gain will be felt in how our jeans fit.  I think it goes for any pants with a button and zipper closure as long as they are not a stretchy material.  LOL - no more stretchies for me  

Today I'm just celebrating sticking to my cardio exercise plan.  It's a rainy day here and I'm in a little bit of a funk......fighting to get out of it....
