Lost my bet.
Feb 24, 2007
Yeah, that's right. Still not in One-derland. And now no reading for a week. 
I'm very sad. This is my punishment. I deserve it for being such a slacker. I'm not very happy with myself right now.

Ok, I think I'm better now...
Feb 16, 2007
Okay, y'all sorry about that. Just had to get that little rant out of my system. Of course, I realize that all the border guards are me. It's all my fault that I'm not there yet. I choose to believe that I'm gaining muscle. (Mom calls that kind of thing "magical thinking." I say, "who couldn't use a little magic in their life?") I guess I'll just have to go under the fence. Or is it over? Does it really matter? Either way, I'm going. Even if I have to put myself on liquids for a day or two. I don't care, I'm going to be under 200 by this time next week. If I'm not, I won't read a book for a week!!!! (This is major y'all, cause I'd almost rather read than breathe. Although the less I breathe, the harder it gets to read.
)
Well I thought I was done ranting. Guess there was a little bit of rant left over. Sorry.
Anyway, we now rejoin our regularly scheduled journal entry, already in progress......
So I got weighed & measured at Curves again. It seems like the 14th. comes sooner and sooner every month. Here they are:
........................Last Month......................current
Bust..................46.50 in...........................46 in.
Waist...............43.50 in. .........................42 in.
Abdomen.........47.50 in. .........................47.25 in.
Hips.................47 in. ...............................45 in.
Thighs..............52 in. ...............................52 in.
Arms................30 in. ................................29 in.
Body Fat........39.9% ..............................38.3%

GOSH-DARNED, ADDLE-PATED, TWIT-HEADS AT THE BORDER TO ONE-DERLAND STILL WON'T LET ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not yet!
Feb 10, 2007
Some of you may be wondering what happened to last week's entry. That's easy, I didn't write one. I didn't want to have to journal again with a ticker that is still above 200. Oh well, I've gotten over that. I really missed my journal. Of course there are probably people out there really glad that I had stopped babbling. Tough cookies.
I'm still not in One-derland. I am however on the border, there just seems to be some kind of trouble with my passport. I'm sure it'll all be straightened out soon.
The last fill I got has really given me some good restriction. Now I've just got to get over that guilt at leaving food on my plate. It just seems so wasteful.
There is a Rec. center (gym) next door to my work. On Monday, I am going to pop in there for at least a 1/2 hour to use their treadmill. I am a member at Curves and I go 3x a week. But because of my work hours and Curves' open hours, I can only go Tues., Weds. & Thurs. That leaves Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday basically exercise free. Not really a good thing. I just gotta remember to take my ipod and workout clothes to work on Monday.

i am committed to making goal by by birthday!
Another fill
Jan 31, 2007
I went in for another fill today. I've lost count of how many fills I've had so far. Dr. Jay seemed pleased with my loss. He actually used the word "awesome." He gave me another .75 cc. So now my total fill is 9.75 cc. As usual, I'm on liquids for the next week. Also as usual, I'm not real happy about that
, but I know it'll finally get me to One-derland. I can't wait! I don't remember the last time I weighed less than 200 lbs.! I've been stepping on the scale every day (sometimes several times a day) since I went below 210. The suspense is killing me!

3rd. Mini-goal met!
Jan 27, 2007
-75 lbs. This means that I've acheived my third mini-goal. The reward for that is buying my second Van Gogh painting (reproduction.) Of course, I never bought the first one, so I can't really buy the second. But still, I earned those paintings. I go to the website (www.vangoghmuseum.nl) sometimes and just admire them. I can't justify the expense right now. Someday though. "Almond blossoms" and "Irises"; go check them out, they're so pretty.
I'm going in for another fill this Wednesday. Just a teeny one. Only 5 pounds away from One-derland, I think I'm going to lose my mind!

1/19/07 weigh-in
Jan 19, 2007
Okay, so I know it says 205 on the day I got de-frustrated. But I guess that was really just a fluke. It wasn't "official", since it wasn't a Friday. I do have an Offficial weight now, and it is less than 210 so I'm a happy camper. Well, content anyway.
I started grad. school this past week. So far its pretty awesome (and yes, I know I'm too old to use that word.) The degree program is almost completely online and it is completely legit.
I finally broke down and scheduled another fill. I wanted to wait until I could lose weight even between fills. I am now, although slowly. That's okay, that is what the band is for, to give me a little boost when I need one.
(Reading back over this post, I think I used way too many commas. And parentheses.)
getting even closer
Jan 16, 2007
Well, okay.
I'm way less frustrated now. (Notice the calm green font color?) Yesterday was my weigh-in/measurement day at Curves. According to them, I weigh 210. I know what you're saying... that's what had me all tweaked out before. True, BUT that was fully dressed and wearing shoes. When I got home I took a little sneak peek on my own scale, it says.....205. I think I just needed (and still do need) to work harder at the gym and make sure that my heartrate is where it needs to be. I've also got measurements from Curves, so here they are.
Purple is last month Blue is current Red is shrinkage
Bust~ .........48 in. ................46.5....................... -1.5
Waist~ .... ..45 in. ................43.5 .......................-1.5
Abdomen~ 49 in. ................47.5 .......................-1.5
Hips ~.........47.5 in.............. 47 ............................-.5
Thighs~ .....52 ...in.............. 52 ............................-0
Arms~ .......30 in. ................30............................ -0
Body Fat~ .41 % .................39.9 ......................-1.10%
So you see, the life lesson here is: "Don't get frustrated, get measured!"

So close, yet so far.

AAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm seriously at my wit's end here folks. If you'll scroll back through this journal you'll see why. I have been stuck at 210 for over a month now. I've got decent restriction, I go to they gym. AND YET! The scale has refused to budge.
Yesterday, I put myself on liquids and I went to the gym and pushed myself as hard as I could. I checked the scale tonight and it maybe went down 1/2 a pound. Its driving me crazy.
I don't want to go get another fill just yet. Even though that seems to be the only time that I actually lose weight. That just isn't good enough. I need to make the weight go away, even between fills. Until I can figure out how to do that, I'm not getting another fill. Unless of course the scale goes in the wrong direction. I'm so close to One-derland that I can practically hear it. I can hear all the people who've already gotten there. And they're mocking me. Nyah-nyah-nyah!!!!!

Goals not resolutions.
Jan 04, 2007
My goals for this year:
1. Make it to my goal weight before I turn 30 (which happens in Dec.).
2. Ride my bike to work (12 miles.)
For this month,
1. Lose the 10 lbs. that separate me from One-derland.
2. Workout 3x a week
I just went clothes shopping. I only bought three pairs of pants: Jeans, excercise sweats and work pants. I've gone down two sizes in the jeans from a 22 to an 18. The other two pairs are actually a 14/16 and a large. They're just pull-on types, slightly too tight. I bought them that way on purpose so I could have the fun of seeing them loosen up. For the first time in my many efforts to lose weight, I really believe that they will loosen up. That right there is a major victory.
