Down 8 lbs!!!

Sep 22, 2007

Whoohoo!  Down 8 lbs today, bringing it to 69 total lbs lost.  Yay!  Almost to 200 lb land...can't wait!!!  I got a fill of 1/2 cc last Monday, which brings me up to 9 1/2 cc's in my 14 cc band. 

 

Down 6 lbs.

Yay!  I haven't seen this weight, since about 7 years ago.  Down 61 lbs. Whoo hoo!  Gotta luv the band!  

 

Fill today.

Hello!
I got another fill today.  I am now up to 9 cc's and boy do I fill restriction now!!!  Yay!!!  Doc said I am down 11 lbs since last month or 54 lbs total. This new fill should increase that, I hope.

Down 54 lbs!

Aug 04, 2007

Hello!

As of today, I am down 54 lbs.  More to go, but it is a good start.  It was exciting to wear a pair of jeans that I have owned for over three years and had never worn prior.  I got them and they were tight, but I figured I would just stretch them out enough to wear comfortably.  However, I kept ballooning and never wore them.  I wore them to work today and they are already moving towards being too big.  Yay!

Down 8!

Jul 22, 2007

Yay!  Down another 8 lbs.  Sorry, that I haven't been doing such a great job keeping in touch lately.  Work has pretty much taken over my life as of late.  Argh!!!  I have been working long days and also having to go in on Weekends.  I pray that it lets up some soon!  

Down another three pounds!

Hello!
My husband had to have surgery yesterday, double hernia repair...ouch!  So, why he was in surgery, I took advantage of using the scale in the room and have lost another three pounds.  Yippee!

Hello!

     I have no idea how this is possible, because I have spent the last week eating all sorts of wrong things.  I guess that I must have made up for it elsewhere, with decreased portions???  I had to go to the doc today and have lost another 7 lbs!!!


Ahhh!!!

I am wiped Out!  I am nearing the end of my week of vacation and I am pooped!  For the majority of the week, I was still trying to recooperate from a nasty cold/virus, so I rested...a LOT.  The first few days, I tried to rally and we got the pond all cleaned and stocked with new floating plants, as well as adding a few additional fishies.  Then I rested.  A few days ago, I started in on the 2nd project that I had hoped to accomplish during this time off.  Painting and re-decorating our upstairs bathroom.  The previous owner, had painted the walls a dark blue/gray and then had sponge painted over it with a country blue and pepto pink.  It actually wasn't as hideous as that just sounded, but I had noticed that over the shower especially, the blue splotches were darkening and the paint was absorbing the water from the shower.  As it turns out, my belief is that she painted with the type of flat paint you would use in a bedroom or other room and not the kind that is meant for high moisture locations, like bathrooms.  So, the reason that those blue splotches were darkening...was a black mold that seemed to favor only the blue splotches...?!?  Anyway, we repainted the entire room with a lovely shade of glossy cashmere white.  Kilz brand, which is mold and mildew resistant.  Then I cloroxed the entire place down, every square inch of it...floors, fixtures, everything.  Don't need any mold growing!!!  My husband John, bless his heart, helped out with the higher to reach spots.  I would paint...start feeling sick, go lay down and then he would take a shift at it.  Between the two of us, it is complete and I feel wonderful about it.  It is now so bright and clean looking and feeling.  Before, it felt like a dank dungeon.  =o(  Anyway, it feels good to be starting to regain some energy.  I also felt really good when I took a shower tonight.  I finally can really tell a difference in the weight loss, just from the standpoint that I can now reach EVERY area of my own body.  Before, I would have difficulty getting around the fat tummy to scrub all areas.  Those of you who have been as heavy as a 60 some BMI, will understand that.  I would compensate by taking longer showers to be sure that water and residual suds got the places that I couldn't reach.  Not anymore and darn~that feels good!!!  Hope that this finds everyone enjoying a wonderful Sunday with family/friends! 

Two More Down...

Good News!

May 25, 2007

Hello!  
     I hope that this finds everyone getting ready to enjoy a meaningful and family filled Memorial Weekend!  
     I received good news from the Doctor.  The MRI showed no tear in the meniscus in my knee.  So, no surgery and just some physical therapy to get things back in shape.  Yee Haw!!!  I was not looking forward to another surgery, after having had the lap band only a few months ago.  
    Unfortunately, the same can't be said for my husband.  He will be having surgery in the next couple of months to repair two hernias.  No fun!  
     I am on vacation for this week and will be sorting and pricing to prepare for a garage sale this coming weekend.  Yikes!  It will be good to get rid of the old and make room for some new.  I have lost another four pounds, so I am stoked about that.  
     Again, have a wonderful Memorial Holiday!  
Rebecca~
