Four... no matter what language you say it in... I just fit into a pair of size FOUR jeans... yes, me! I love thrift store, bargain hunting. Its a huge thrill to me to find something that i love for less then $10. From my amazing, full length wool coat for $8.88, to my wool peacoat for $6.88 to my Ralph Lauren cords for $3.33 or my Stuart Weitzman pumps for $4.50... I love a bargin, but I have to admit, pulling those 4's off the endless jean rack and looking at them and thinking "no way" - t

Amazed..the scale loves me! Reward

Okay, so after a week of sweets, well really a few weeks of sweets, I was amazed to see myself this morning! I woke up, and as I walked past the full length mirror in the hallway and thought...."Looking Good Angie!" This week I have laid off the OCD weighing of myself. It's been TOM and employee appriciation at work. Yikes....shivers with fear. At the beginning of TOM, I had stepped on the scale and BAM! 2.5 lbs out of no where! I was bummed, so I decided to let this week work itself out

Made a good decision!

I set up a fill appointment last week for Sept 25th. When I called, I got the impression she was suprised that I was calling so soon.....again. (I felt that way the last time I called for an apt.) I've had a fill every month for the last well soon to be 4 months. Which has it's ups and downs. June, July, August, and this next apt! Ugh! Last week I was on the fence about the fill. Weavering a bit. Is this fill good, do I need to work the band more....?? Turns out, I do need a fill. TOM

Let' get moving! And some other HONEST stuff.

I took a nice brisk walk today with my son. He was in the stroller, I was the walker. It felt so good to get back out and moving again. My injury, me falling down a flight of stairs in the middle of the night.....just call me Grace, has kept me on the sidelines. That has been hard. I've been swimming a few times 4-5 but can't seem to remember not to kick while swimming. My ankle is still swollen. Thank heavens the bruises have finally gone away. My poor leg. Anyway, the walk felt good.

A Clean Slate

Happy Friday! Today is September 11th, 2009 and I want to take a moment to remember and honor those who past, lost, became a hero, in the terror attack on the USA. I will not forget.... When I listen to people speak of their experiences it moves me so much. I get emotional. I will not forget that day. Eight years later, I feel it. The sights I witnessed will be burned into my memory. [img=http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/angieboyd/lapband%20pictures/cleanslate.jpg] Today

Jump off the Bus Gus - Getting back to the Bandwagon.

I got on the Labor Day bus of food this past weekend and have not gotten off. It's time to get on the bandwagon again. [img=http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/angieboyd/lapband%20pictures/bandwagon1.jpg] I feel all alone on the sugar bus. I made a choice to eat what everyone else was having over the holiday, now I am in a bad way. I am stuck on the bus. I want to be on the Bandwagon again, but I am not follow the RULES long enough to get back there. I want to be where you are.

Disbelief, Denial, Awareness!

Yes indeed, disbelief is a funny thing. It's hard to believe that I let myself grow to the size I did. Disbelief.... [img=http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/angieboyd/lapband%20pictures/disb.jpg] I think after a while, I looked in the mirror and ceased to really "see" myself. Don't get me wrong, there have been days where I caught an awakening glimps of me. Like the day I was setting on my bed and looked up. In the hall way we have a large mirror. I caught a good long look of a

Labor Day with Family

[img=http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/angieboyd/laborday-1.jpg] The time spent with my folks was good. They got in late Friday, Lil D stayed up to welcome them. He was so cute. When Grandpa and Grammy pulled up, we made out way outside to greet them. Daniel had been waiting by the door or window, anticipating....waiting. As soon as we stepped out the door he was waving and saying "Hi Hi." Grammy was so excited to see him, her excitement I think overwhelmed him. He for a brief mome

Scale said 250 this morning! Whaaa hooo!

So I wasn't thinking I was going to drop anymore weight. (especially since the night eater in me struck again last night) I was pleasantly suprised when I saw 250! Yay! I have been really being conscious about haw many grams of protein I am eating. The bandster diet is one I am still working on. I've had some constipation, or hard poop. So I like to have oatmeal in the mornings. Seems hard to get the protein in and have any room left for fruits or veggies. The other night I made a skil

MAJOR NSV!!!! Feeling happy!

I am wearing my wedding ring today! Woo hoo! I have not worn it since the middle of my pregnancy. It feels sooo good. I took a picture of my hand with the ring on and sent it to my husband. It is a tight fit, but it is on and will come back off, so I am wearing it with pride! (I have the lapband, and the OCC to thank for this!) I got on the scale this moring.....251! Coming closer and closer to my next set of goals! Sure does make it easier to stay on track when you begin to feel t

Approaching my next goal, well 2 really!! Sweet!

So, I am coming closer to saying bye-bye to the 250's! ( I love my scale so much, but in the next breath I hate that scale. ) I love it because I am a scale whore! Yes, I embrase my whorishness! Who cares. I get, "don't weigh yourself everyday" comments from people, but for me, I weigh. Everyday! Not only do I weigh in the moring, I weigh in the evening as well. Why!? Because it keeps me on track! I have programed my body through the years I have abused the ol' girl to pack on the pounds

Back to 252!

I got on the scale this morning and I am down to the 252 mark again! Sweet! I love the fact that I have structure during the week that brings on the sweet success! I am looking forward to my parents coming to town this weekend! Yay family time! I am hoping they can see the difference in me. When you are big, sometimes it takes a while for people to notice the weight loss. Haven't stashed any food. Still have lingering thoughts about it. Ahh the in's and out's of being addicted to fo

Piggin Out Weekend...

Holly Crap! I went on a eat-a-thon this weekend. I had touched 252.2 and then food hit the fan and I ate all day Sat and Sun like I had nothing to stop me. WOW! I am not going to beat myself up over it, I am moving on. The scale was back at 254.4 this morning. Weekends are harder for me because they are less structured. During the week I feel great......I do great..... Oh, my parents are coming up over labor day. I am already having urges to hid food, so if I need to eat I can eat i

Throwing away cake never felt so good!

Well the cake I baked on Sunday is about ready for the trash, and there is 1/2 a cake left! Woot! I haven't had to throw away cake for well, I can't even remember how long. Sweet success! I love the changes the band has made in my life this far!

Slow success, sweet success!

I tired on a pair of jeans today, they have been calling to me from my closet. Size 20! I am nearly there! They are 5 lbs away from looking fabulous! My tummy did a small spare tire. I don't want to look stuffed into my jeans when I set down, so back in the closet they went! Spend some time looking in my closet. I have 2 pairs of size 26's. One brand new never worn, jean capri's, and the other slacks worn after I had my son to go to a wedding. They will find a good home I am sure. Righ

Brownies, Cake, Non Scale Victory - Oh my!

I am pleased to share my newest reality. A little while ago, I made a pan of brownies. We were having company and the brownies where for desert. I had to toss out the last few brownies because they were old!!! Yes, that is right....old. Before the band, nothing got old at our house.....nothing. Over the weekend I made a chocolate cake. I am pleased to say that my husband has eaten more of the cake than I have. Yes! Now, that is another change. Let me confess and share that pre-band, I

Oh Glorious Restriction!

So I had my 3rd fill and drum roll please......I have restriction. It has been almost 2 weeks and I am happy to report the level may have dropped a bit, but shazam! RESTRICTION!!! I am eating less! I am either not eating at night or eating very little! The scale is moving! I am so happy and hope this fill will last for a little while. *crosses fingers* I have lost 25 glorious pounds! Woo woo! It is hard to not have restriction, to have to wait a month between fills. Joined 24 hr fit

The "not me's"

I apparently suffer from a serious case of the "not me's". You know how it goes...you'll read about some aspect of the band and you'll think to yourself, "Oh, I *know* better than that! That won't happen to me...not me!" First fill was great. 2 cc's of saline. My port is pretty deep and the Dr. recommends that every fill be done with flouro. Figures! Now every fill will be an additional $99, but I am trying to look at it from the standpoint that it's better to be safe than sorry. So...I

Carb cycling oh my!

So I have dropped off the face of the earth or so it seems. The rules at work have changed a bit and that is where I was doing some reading. Ya know over lunch or on a break. Sure do miss everyone. Staying caught up is harder now, seems I skim more now than ever. At least I read your posts. I have been carb cycling bug time. Seems junk has come in to my diet and boy it sure shows on the scale. I am holding the same on the scale. Or doing the 2 step. Garin 2 loose 2 gain 2 loose 2.
