Signed up for my first 5K!!!
Apr 25, 2012
My "bandiversary" is a month away but I thought I would share now. I have been away from the board...I needed positive energy, not the negativity and petty stuff going on here every time I logged in. I got my band 5/27/09 and have have some issues with getting stuck once in awhile but thats it so far. I am not at my goal weight but I blame that on myself, not the band. I have about 20-25 more to go. I never had issues with being a big girl. My goal is to be healthy...I could care less about being skinny. With that being said, I just signed up to do the 5K Color Run in Philly. Im stoked!Do I cheat? Yes. Its rare but it happens.I cant remember the last time I had a soda or fast food but I do like my coffee and chocolate! I followed the rules to a "T" the first year and a half. I still use 1 cup containers, still weigh food as much as possible, etc.
Do I go for followups with my band doc? Yes, I feel that its necessary to keep me on track...plus they think my hubby (he had RNY and lost 70lbs since February 13th) and I are awesome. That keeps me positive too. LOL
Do I work out? Yes...it wasnt consistant until recently though.
Am I happy with my band? Yes
Was this the easy way out? Heck no! This is the hardest thing I have ever done next to being a mom of 2 boys!
Would I do it over again? Heck yes! Even if I should start having complications, I think getting the band was the best thing that I could have done.
