Out of the 300's for FOREVER!!!! 12-29-08
Dec 28, 2008
Hey OH fam, I know its been a minute since my last post but here I am. I've had 2 mini vacations (Florida and Canada) and am fianally back into the swing of things. I had tons of fun re-connecting with my siblings in Florida and we are now planning trips to make up for lost time. Canada was fun too although spending 12 hrs driving in a car during a winter storm advisory was not. But we had alot of fun at the wedding we drove up there for. FYI: My seat belt fit alot more easily on the airplane...holla!!!!I was determined to get another post in before 08' was over and whole new year begins. I was determined to be great in 08' and I feel like I kept to that resolve because I had finally took the plunge and got the band a little over 3 months ago (Christmas was my 3 month bandiversary.) Wow 3 months already! Where has the time gone? Anyway, since I started this journey I promised myself that I would set, track and achieve various goals continuously. One of my biggest goals was to get out of the 300's FOR GOOD! And last Wed I weighed in at 294! Thats a total weight lose of 65 lbs so far(25lbs before surgery!) Being that my goal is to lose a total of 189 lbs I calculated that I have lost about 35% of that and have lost 18% of my intial body weight (yea yall I'm really obsessed with this I almost have it down to a science) LOL! While I'm speaking in my Biggest Loser voice let me give a shout out to Michelle A. for bringing home the title and not allowing Vicky or Heba to take it I would have been MADDEEER if that had been the case! That is my show I just can't wait for the new season next week! Getting back...sorry for the tangent...I had set a goal of 285 lbs by Jan 1st and had clearly am 9 lbs aways from that with only 2 now left in the year. Never the less, I am determined to get as close to the goal as possible and not exceed that deadline by too many days. So I have beefed up my exercise routine (I'm very sore as I type this...lol) and am keeping my indulgances to a minimum (although all bets were off on Christmas...lol!) I have set my next goal to lose a minimum of 20 lbs in the month of January and 30 by Valentine's day. I know it sounds extreme, but I believe in setting the barring high in order to push myself that much harder. I have spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time being morbidly obese and would very much like to limit anymore time spent in that category! This weight has held me back for long enough! Plus summer is coming and I'm looking forward to rocking tank tops, halter tops and shopping expanding my shopping options!
Anyway, I got a WII fit for Christmas yall among other things! But thats yet another way to burn more kcals. Because I kow once I pop I will not be able to stop. My cousin in I are planning on creating a fitness room out of the spare bedroom. I'll let ya'll know how that goes but right now my bedroom doubles as my fitness room. This Wed I go for my 5th fill which I'm excited about. I felt the 4th one more than I did the first 3 and it really did force me to change how and what I eat. For instance, bread will no longer be on my shopping list. Eating it is just waaaaaay too painful even half a slice. No big loss there....But I am eating much more slowly and spend alot more time chewing my food. I am now up to 10.6ccs in my 11cc band and will probably go up to 10.7 Wed. While I do feel restriction as to what I can eat I don't really feel too much restriction as far as how much I can eat. So I plan on getting fills until I get to that point. Well OH thats my update until next time. Hope your Christmas was great and Have a Happy New Year! -Sara
