1 year Bandiversary

Aug 08, 2010

Today is my anniversary. Its been one year and I ust hit 175, wow that's cool. I know that seems slow to some, 30 lbs in a year but to me its friggin amazing to lose anything at all. After years of working my ass off in the gym and distryong all my efforts by being constantly hungry its unreal to not have hunger and be able to stick to a healthy eating plan.  I celebrate every single pound, every one is such a victory.  

 I am now 10 lbs from my goal, I don't think I will look the same though as I looked at 165lbs  10 years and 3 kids ago lol and think I will probably readjust my goal when I get there and think about going for an extra 6 lbs or so, all the loose skin on my tummy from 3 pregnancies and 3 c-sections changes my whole body.

This seems to be a good restriction for me, I am not hungry and can still eat a little bit of just about everything. Some days are tighter than others and I am not sure what influences that but I have noticed if I am in a rush and do'nt eat all day or just drink smoothies then I have to be REALLY careful at dinner time as I seem to get tighter if I miss solid food for more than a few hours.

I need to find a way to get omegas down though, I have full body aches and pains and joint pain, I am convinvinced I hae transient fibromyaglia as it comes for weeks then goes away for a while and then comes back again.  Omegas are such an essential thing for you body I have to find a liquid form.

170 here I come!

3rd goal met

Jun 26, 2010

Finally down below 180.  Wow its amazing every time you set a goal it feels like you will never get there and you struggle and struggle with it and then bam, you have passed it and you are looking at your next goal. It was a year goo this time I was fighting just to get to 205 and felt like it was an impossibly and here I am more than 25 lbs from there!
 

Had my third refill since being defilled and am now at 4cc.  I am not hungry at all but am limited to liquids and mushies at the moment which I'm okay with since the scale moves so slowly for me and this will speed it up provided I can get good nutrition in which I think I am managing so far.  Have been going to kickboxing this month and injuries seem to be holding up okay to the workouts.

back to the gym

May 28, 2010

Finally after two injuries, a defill and a partial refill I am feeling better and managed to work out 5 days in a row this week ,I even went to bootcamp yesterday. I was a little behind the pack but it felt awesome to get a good sweat on!

I am at abouat 3cc now, down from 4cc I was at before I injured myself so I need at least one more fill to get to that sweet spot but I am well on my way and feeling back on track again. Yesterday I was 181 which is only a lb from my next goal!

Its definately a process and an exercise in patience but I am getting there, one little lb at at time:)

second goal met:)

Feb 04, 2010

My goal was to be 185 by valentines day and I am there 10 days ahead of schedule!  Put in some extra workouts this week and made lots of good food choices.  I find automating breakfast and lunch is the best way for me to get there.  Supper I can just eat light but if I don't make good choices early in the day the rest of the day is out to lunch (no pun intended).

Woo hoo FINALLY got to 187

Jan 14, 2010

I am finally at a restriction level where hunger is decreased and I can follow a meal plan. I have been doing a great job eating clean and its finally paid off.  The scales has been hovering around the same number since before xmas and its finally taken the dive I needed it to. I have changed my breakfast to oatmeal and eating solid protien at lunch and changed my workout so I am not in town and hungry in themiddle of the day.  Tried Hot Yoga the other night and LOVED it adn I am suprisingly sore from it! At 3.5 cc

first goal met

Nov 02, 2009

Met my first goal today, I FINALLY hit 189.  Well I had the flu bug so that helped, I actually went down to 187 but after rehydrating I am at 189 which was the goal I wanted to hit 2 weeks ago so I am very pleased. I think I still have swelling around the band from throwing up as I have very little appetite and quiet a bit of restriction.  My new goal is 185, very conservative I know but get discouraged by far off goals and find I stay more focused if I just set little mini goals.

2nd fill

Oct 25, 2009

I had my second fill day before yesterday for a total of 2.5 cc in what I think is a 10-12 cc band. Finally I think I am feeling restriction, well not so much restriction as loss of hunger.  I ate about 1300-1400 calories today and was not starving which is a huge milestone for me as I was eating 1800 and hungry all the time.

I am trying to focus on protein first, then veggies, then carbs and trying to stick with the right kinds of carbs. Not drinking with meals is still difficult but I think I am getting much better at it and getting better at staying away from liquid calories and focusing on solid foods as much as possible.

I am encourage by the change in how I feel and my hunger level and feeling like I am making good progress.
