    Four, 4, vier, fire, cuatro, chetiri, quattro, yon, quatre

    By LoriBecky

    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

control

i haven't weighed myself lately. i'm too afraid of what it will say. i've been eating really bad for the past week without exercise. i feel disgusting. on the bright side, yesterday i went back on my diet and am now completing day one i guess it is true that what you eat really affects your moods and how you look. i felt horrible snacking on chips and slushies all day. gross. i was sluggish, tired, and lazy. my skin turned disgusting after a few days of eating junk food. my friend said i had

One Week since Lap-Band

I was given my lap-band on July 28 and I'm one day past a week. The surgery was not bad at all and my recover is pretty easy. I get tired easy and so I take a nap (man is that hard ). My family has been very supportive. I was nervous about the post-op diet, but it has actually been pretty easy. I had to make my own soup becuase I needed more flavor than just chicken broth. I keep thinking about how good the chicken broth soup at the hotel had been and I wanted to eat that again. I made

What a lazy day ......

What a lazy day!!! Devin had to go to work today so its just Beans & I .... we're having a lazy day on the couch drinking water, watching A&E and thinking of having a nap ... oh yeah, and peeing out that water I'm drinking! At least today I get to watch Matlock, Perry Mason and Murder She Wrote. hehehehe.... I'm booking my hotel room for San Diego tonight - for the night before we leave to head back up to Edmonton. We originally found one hotel that gave us an airport shuttle f

6 and half week count down

Ok yes, I am crazy. I am going to count ever freaking minute. I am excited, worried, scarred. Every emotion that is possible. My husband is freaking out. He is on this job and it has to get done by Tuesday and he is worried they are going to lay him off. I keep telling him just do what you can do and it will be alright. I am going to concentrate my efforts on trying to pay off some bills, since I will soon have a loan to pay for ( I hate loans. I am scarred of something going wrong afterwards

Just finished my Wii workout this morning.....

So my Wii Age was 33 the beginning of this morning - not far from the 30 that I am. I decided that while Devin was sleeping with the dog and our roommates were out, I would hop on board and get my workout done. Holy cow --- I'm sweatin' like a pig! But it was good! I did the 30 minute step and it worked out to 2950 steps at a really steady pace. The best thing about the 30 minute free step --- you can watch tv while its going - so I put on the Family Channel for some mindless entertainm

Working on background

I put on a new background but I dont know if it worked. Have to wait to see if it is accepted. It was a butterfly. I liked it. Well the count down has started about 7 weeks and we should be on a plane. Hubby asked me today if this is a for sure thing. Is anything ever for sure? I told him, we have put alot of money on this, it better be. I think he is scarred. I am too but, I am more scarred of dieing because I have fatty liver. I almost look forward to the pre-op diet, just to see how much I ca

Its *almost* the weekend ..... and a long one too!!

So I just got back from a long walk with my husband and my dog, Beans. Nice night out but the mosquitoes are out to getcha! That they did, guess I forgot to spray on the arms! Oh well, it was nice and long and we kept up a good pace. I talked to my mom today and she's told me that her & dad are going to give me the money for Tijuana to pay for and that we'll pay them back. This is such a huge relief for Devin and I..... Of course we won't be paying them back in the next few months but

"i can't stop smiling"!!!

my sf friend is in town again and i actually decided to hang out with her because i was just feeling good. i got the day off so i decided to hang with her. i asked her if she wanted to like skate around the neighborhood to jamba juice or whereever. this was like at 5 in the afternoon and the sun is still shining high so it was all good. but we didn't make out till 9 because she was held "hostage" by her family which was perfect because i just wanted to be lazy lounging around the house. anyway b

Blah ... its been a stressful week ....

So its been a stressful week ..... We rent out a room in our house and our guest here seems to have moved right on in. Its been driving me nuts. So we finally asked him to leave as it was just too stressful with him invading our personal space. A really nice guy, but for my own sanity, he's got to go. I've found though that I'm not as much of a biotch this week because of the pre-op diet. It was mainly due to the stress of our renter .... my pre-op diet is going much better than what it wa

Feeling difficult... my poor husband

I get banded on Friday and have been struggling with the pre-opt diet. I already feel like a failure.... again. I am losing something everyday. I just hope it is enough........ My weight fluctuates so much, I never know how much I actually weigh. In 1995 (25 yrs old), I weighed 140-145. I thought I was huge. This is where my cycle dieting cycle/binge cycle started. I am a emotional eater. I think I punish myself with food, I take revenge on other with food, I sedate with food, I relax w

getting started

I have 1 wonderful, healthy little boy that is almost 3 years old. He came 8 weeks early because of high blood pressure. He weighed 2lbs 13oz at birth. Being a premie is such a risk for the child. I really want another child, but must get in control of my blood pressure. So I am starting this journey with the lap band to enable me to be a healthy mom for the child I have & for the child I want. Female 38 years old Height: 5'4" Decision weight: 229, on 1 blood pressure medication, labetal

Feeling Better...

Day 3 - I have to say im feeling so much better than i felt yesterday... NO Nausea NO pain and very little gas . Although i do have to say i spent most of last night reading about MUSHIE FOOD stage.. and it may sound extremely strange but i cant wait to eat any type of real food even if it has to be blended... my teeth actually hurt yesterday from not chewing anything for the last 10 days so in 10 more days im really wondering what will happen! Today was a pretty normal day on a liquid die

Still working through loans

Ok so one bank called me and approved about $5300.00, that is not enough obviously so I am a bit worried. The loan processor told me not to worry that the next bank will call me next week or maybe the week after. Meanwhile, I got two other banks working on a possible approval. One is here in town and they have a good reputation. I was hoping for one full loan but it looks like it may be two. I am a little nervous. hubby is getting nervous. He still has not asked for the time off, he said that i

another pound! yesssss

so i'm only going to weigh myself on sundays and thursdays. they seem to be the days i actually get some results! so i was talking to one of my friends who also got the surgery done about how i hate that i'm not losing the weight fast enough. she tells me that mass weighs more than fat..i think..she continues with an analogy about how a basketball and golf ball weigh the same. the difference is that the basketball is full of air aka fat. she said it was obvious i was losing fat so she told me to

First Entry

Okay this is my first blog. I am scheduled to have my lap-band on July 28, 2008. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I know that I have to do this if I want to live a healthy life. I am having a lot of trouble with the pre-op diet. It is very very hard to stick to this diet. I hope it will be easier after my sugery becuase I'm just hungry all the time right now. I hope I can take the weight off. Here are my starting measurements: ( Weight - 233.5 lbs Chest 45.5" Waist 38"

Arrrrr... this pre-op diet has made me moody!

Holy cow ..... so I'm on day two of the pre-op diet with Ensure for Breakfast & Lunch and then a Lean Cuisine for dinner. I've probably drank enough water to equal a small lake today ..... and I learned you don't always have to flush the toilet every time you pee, especially if you go 5 times in an hour. Last night I thought I was dying -- I really truly did. I'm surprised my husband didn't leave me ... boy was I moody! Nasty moody! But I figure today is a little better and I'm gett
