Back in action

I was sick all last week and stayed home most of the time.

Can I get a 'Blah!' ?!

I've sat home for as long as I could stand and I am ready to jump back into the real world.

I have a big exam tonight that I haven't done lots of studying for, so I think I'll have to skip the gym today to brush up on my knowledge, then I'll pick my work out schedule back up on Tuesday.

My scale says I've dropped 6 pounds, but I am chalking that up to not feeling well. If it stays for another day or so, I figure it's a keeper!

Progress Pics

I am super hesitant to post these pics because I am a big ol' baby that is worried about losing whatever anonymity I have here. But when it all comes down to it...what does it really matter?

  • Picture 1 - Two weeks pre-surgery (7/08)
  • Picture 2 - One year post surgery (7/09)
  • Picture3 - Now (9/09)



I wanted to post some before, before shots...you know, pre weight gain, but I have to dig a little deeper for those.

I get a little bummed when I look at this...so much time has passed, but I am not seeing the results I was hoping for. My Doc says that I am losing at a good, steady pace, so I do have to take some comfort in that.
I still have a LONG way to go!

Vacation loss?!?

Yesterday I flew back from a long weekend visiting my family out of state. I was really curious to see what the scale read upon my return. I honestly had no idea which direction 'the number' would be moving.

My eating was sporadic, and not very healthy when it did happened, but I did also work out with my youngest brother a time or two, so I figure that evened it out a bit.

I was thrilled to see that my weight had dropped five pounds (YAY!!) from the past week!! It wasn't a fluke either...I weighed myself again today, just to make sure.

I also told two of my brothers about my band. I don't really think that either of them understand entirely what it is, but now they know why my eating habits have changed so much...which is good enough for now. I just hope that next time I see them, they will be seeing a smaller me...even if it is just a little bit smaller. :)
