Well - the scale says that I am UP 3 pounds! Had my gallbladder removed Monday the 26th... so I am attributing the gain to surgery.. all the fluids and gas that was added to me during that time.. added to the fact that the diet has been off... not eating enough to lose- so I am sure that all of that plays a role in the scale going up... I just hope it drops back down soon! 
I will not be able to lift weights for another 6 weeks now, so the personal trainer at the gym is on hold until then. I guess if I did not have bad luck - I would have no luck at all right now! 
I am finally able to move around somewhat since surgery. This was harder than the band being placed... or so it seems for me right now! 
I am very lucky to have the husbnad that I have! He is so sweet and caring.. I love it when he takes care of me! So - if you are reading this... Thank you honey, for everything! I love you!

Well - I guess that really is it for this week... if anything else comes up - I will add on later! Bye Bye for now!

Well - going a little better around here.. still feels weird not having Doyle around. He will always be in our hearts. 
I did manage to loose 1.5 pounds... So I am down to 165. 
Wednesday night I spent the night at the hospital... not work. My husband picked me up from work and took me to the ER. I am lucky to have him! Turns out that my "pain attacks" were caused by gallstones. So - the gallbladder needs to go as soon as possible.. but it is not an emergancy situation. So we made it to Dr Ben-Meir's office today.. and we were able to schedule surgery for Monday afternoon. I am nervous - but know I will be fine. And I am not too happy about having a bland diet this weekend. I tend to savor the flavors of my food now more than ever... and to eat bland food is just not right! LOL 
I am ready to hit the hay - so I will update later this week. Bye for now!


We will miss you Doyle

Ok - things are going wacko around here! I gained 3 pounds last week - but my pants got looser! Hmm... hope I am adding muscle weight - since I am doing weight training... I am still hitting the gym with a personal trainer 3 days a week... and he is kicking my butt.. hehe! I just bought DDR for the xbox360... so.. hope I do not kill myself with that! But if I can do that - it will be some good cardio for me to help with my weight loss.

WOW - I did it... I got back on track and made my Valentines Day goal (one day late!)
I am down to 170!! ONLY 40 more pounds to go! I start going to my personal trainer on Monday... 3 times a week for 12 weeks! I am hoping to make it to 146 by May 4th.. but, if I don't that will be ok - just look how fasr I have come so far! I started out wearing a 24W pant... now I can fit into a size 16 regular pants (ok - petite lol.. but not W's) I started out in a 1 to 2x shirt - now I am wearing mediums or L petites! 
I am really nervous and excited about going to a personal trainer.. hope it helps me with my goals...

Hmmm, things have not been going as planned! LOL I have been back to work for two weeks (after foot surgery - off for 7 weeks) I am falling back into bad habits.. snacking on peanut m&m's.. and just plain bad choices! And it has showed on the scale! I have not lost anything these past two weeks! 
I know I need to get my butt in gear - I have been doing so well - I even lost 3 pounds while off of my feet! Why I am I doing this?? I need to start from square one.. and I need to get myself to the gym! I would love to be to 146 by May - but that seems a littel impossible right now the way I am going! YIKES!!!!! 
I do need to get another fill - I am at 6cc's in my VB band.. now I can not remember if this band holds 10 or 11 cc's - will have to look that up again! I am going to call and schedule a fill for March - the doc wanted at least 3 months between fills... had my last on the beginning of December...

Ok - so I finally was able to weigh in with out a "boot" on my foot and all... I am very happy and suprised by my weight! after being off of my feet for about 5 1/2 weeks.. I LOST 3 pounds! All I can say is - I LOVE MY BAND!!! yes - some days the little alien may give me fits.. but overall - I love having it! I know in the past I would have gained a minimum of 5 pounds being off of my feet like that! Now - I just have to get moving again to speed my process along! I would love to reach my goal by August 2007 so 7 1/2 months or so to lose 42.5 pounds It is doable - if I step it up! I know these last pounds will be hader to lose.. But I am worth it!
