-24.5 & a fungus!

Well, I had to visit my Dr. yesterday because I thought I had some kind of stomach bug AND there was a black film on my tongue! What!? I kind of freaked out when I saw it, called his office and immediately left work to visit with him. He thought it was "neat" and took a picture of it! Anyway, I had one dose of an anti-fungal and will do a swish and swallow for two weeks. Did this have anything to do with my upset stomach? I guess I will never know.

Meanwhile on the scale.............yay! 10 weeks since my procedure and I am down 24.5 lbs! Amazing! I am so thankful for my band! Woo Hoo!

Fill-eve

-21! I'm getting a fill in the morning. I won't be @ my -25 mini-goal but I'm okay with that!

So, I joined a gym!

Well, I'm @ -19 lbs. I have a fill on Wednesday and I was hoping to be @ -25 by then. It's still possible (not probable)! I'll keep you posted! I can't and won't complain, minus almost 20 lbs. in 2 months isn't too bad!

So, I've been working out to Chalene and Turbo Jam for a few weeks but see myself getting bored by that alone, so I joined a gym! I am looking forward to Zumba, bellydancing, kickboxing and water aerobics. I meet with a personal trainer (once for free) so he/she can tell me what I should be working on. Right now, I am not interested in weightlifting and step-class, etc. I just want to continue to keep moving and it's important to me to LIKE what I'm doing or I will get bored.

I am really excited about this and will keep you posted on my progress. Go bandsters!

Gravity

Well, it's two weeks until my next fill; I am ready for it now! I hadn't woken up in the middle of the night with hunger pangs since right after being banded, until last night. I was so hungry about 2:00 a.m.! But I made myself roll over and go back to sleep.

The scale has not budged! But since I've been working out daily, I can really tell that the inches are melting off! I can tell it in my clothing. I will make it a point to measure myself this weekend and blog my results. The only unfortunate loss, will be my chest measurements! The "girls" are no longer a very-full C-cup. I was a B-cup before I gained all of this weight. I'm praying that they'll perk up with my work outs because of course I've breastfed a baby since I was a B-cup AND I've stretched out the skin with the weight gain AND gravity................you know the rest! TMI!

Meanwhile, I am so thrilled that I was banded!

My current goals are as follows: -25 by Nov. 3; One-derland by Jan 1!

Go bandsters!

body sculpting and skinny feet

Did a little body sculpting with Chalene this a.m. It's not as intense as the regular workout but it still made me sweat!

Do you recognize those feet? That's what I thought when I took my shoes off yesterday. Normally after a day @ work, my feet are swollen; but yesterday I recognized my skinnier feet from a long time ago! It's the little things in life that make me happy! I'm sure it's a combination of the weightloss, exercise, and water intake. I love my band!

My morning with Chalene

So, I discovered that exercise is definitely a part of this weight loss journey. After working out just one day AND increasing my water intake, I dropped 1.5 lbs! Duh!

My friend SP and I have been working out @ lunchtime. AND last night I broke out the DVD player and my Turbo Jam DVD; I set it all up so I could do it this morning and I did! Chalene kicked by butt but I got through it and plan to continue working out in the a.m. AND at lunchtime.

Today I'm going to work on setting my weightloss goals. Random acts equal random results! I need something to work toward.

no more crying!
