1. Why am I up at this hour (and have been up for an hour) - jet lag. MAJOR jet lag. The only bright spot is the jet lag haze has covered up my depression for leaving my sister and her family. It will pass, I know. I go thru this with my other sister as well.
2. HUGE thank you to VickyD (who I've been following since before I was banded). She was so open on Lapbandtalk, I found her blog and then decided that if SHE was blogging - then so was I !! Anyway, Vicky sent me a HUGE package of clothes (jeans, capris and two pair of trousers). I have a new wardrobe that I can either wear now or can shrink into !! And, she wrote a sweet note and included some aromatherapy trinkets (which I LOVE!). Unbelievably generous with both advice and clothes - I think she's just awesome !
3. New decade here over at BFB ... since I haven't had a regular weigh in for a few weeks - I'll summarize: I'm down 32 lbs since surgery (12 weeks today - waving hello to JRD - my bandtwin) and 42 lbs down since pre-op diet. LOVE IT !
4. I am definitely feeling the additional 2ccs of fill (that I received on Tuesday). Am monitoring every bite of the mush meals I've had and again, I can really feel the band.
5. Since I will be one of *those* bandsters who don't want to be too tight ... I'm just going to have to see where I go with this.
6. On Tuesday, I checked out the new gym I found right before my trip. WOW ! Of course, it's new so it should be WOW but WOW ! The pool looked awesome, they provide towels, four stations with large vanity/large mirror and hair dryer and a little thingee to wring out your bathing suit.
7. Will be cutting the cable bill in order to pay for the gym but that's ok.
8. I still can't get over Vicky's generosity. I'm also reminded of Samatha's - I'm with the Band (http://alapbandblog.blogspot.com/) awesomeness in sending me a dress a few months ago.
9. I am guessing that 10 Things Thr (thanks Laura - http://beerdogsandhealth.blogspot.com/) is suppose to be short, concise bullet points. I'll blame the jet lag.
10. Is it Friday yet?
Oh how I wish it was Friday!!
ReplyDeleteThe gym sounds so cool!!! I'm excited for you.
almost friday, hang in there a little longer.
ReplyDeleteyou are doing awesome with your weight loss! I am glad you are getting signed up for the gym. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself
Great progress with the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had cable in years and trust me, you won't miss it. Now the internet...that's a different story. I haven't had that in about a year too and it would be nice to at least stream movies or something once in awhile but I digress...
Ohh there is so much tv on the computer that you won't miss it at all!
ReplyDeleteNo cable would work great for me...but I think my husband might crawl up and die. LOL. I'm so glad to hear that you are in a new decade. Good Job!!! I agree...Vickyd is the sweetest. I love her to pieces.
ReplyDeleteAwww...you're so sweet! I was happy to send you the clothes and now that I know that you have the same crazy pear shape that I have I know who I can pass my clothes to going forward ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new decade...I always love seeing new decades on the scale...it always seems like such a big jump!
You're doing great, girl!!!
VickyD is awesome!
ReplyDeleteProud of your loss so far, my friend. :)
AND, I agree... being too tight is scary for me, as well.
Congrats on your new decade!! I am sooooo thrilled for YOU!!! Great loss!!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you hon!! You are doing so great.
ReplyDeleteHow generous of Vicky!!
Happy 3 month bandaversady, Band Twin!!! I'll be weighing in tomorrow, and will post how far I'm down - and perhaps some pics, too!! Sorry about your jet lag - sending you a big hug! Look at us, kicking butt and taking names!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi! In response to your question about the little bowl of taco bell food. It's beans and cheese with the insides of a chicken soft taco. I throw away the tortilla. Yum.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of Vicky!!! Congrats on the loss, you're doing great! Glad you found a gym, it sounds amazing!
