did yoga for the first time in forever today - there are some moves that are not so attractive w/an older gentleman in front of you. i wanted to suggest underwear the next time - but decided to bite my tongue and keep the giggles checked. slim, say hi to michelle...... pictures - ????, should be a lot of fun this wkend w/glouc & KC!!!! off to make hubby a few meals - he took time off while i head into town w/the girls & well is just plain needy:)

good to hear!!! b- greek yogurt w/granola & berries l- half a burger & few fries d- caprese salad exercise - yoga class / 20min row / 20min treadmill

it FEELS like cheating, it's so good w/20 cals per 2tbsp. so i did a stint in culinary school and play in my kitchen WAY too long:) and sometimes it works - sometimes not......LOL probably should have completed the program:)

b- slice WW toast w/peach butter , 2 slices of bacon l- tomato/feta/cucmber salad d- *chicken on tap* -but not sure how prepared w/some veggie s- *if hungry* yoplait carmel delight w/fresh berries

absolutely. while new here - i have been banded almost 2yrs. had to have an unfill 2 months ago due to a chest infection, which caused an aspiration cough & reflux. never had reflux before. for the 6 wks i had nothing in my band - i had to push that plate away, i could eat double & when i went for a barium swallow to make sure all was OK; i had lost 3lbs. i'm slowly working my way back up - because it is work w/out restriction & i NEED restriction - cause i just love food:) getting an unfill is not the worst problem to have - having a band slip is........best take care of the problem before it gets too big:)

just build up endurance & stretch often - hot baths don't suck either. everything you try new, you'll feel like crap at first. ask msb, thought i was having a heart attack after my first rowing class. my chest was killing me, now slowly working up i found that the rowing is FINALLY working the biceps & traps like it was meant to be. slow & steady:)

i just read your post, sorry i really am not familiar with blood clots during/after surgery - nor being on blood thinners. possibly your surgeon could give you more reassurances or direction?? good luck w/your surgery! ktork - talk about penny all you want! it does get easier & having this new pup around (that is nothing short of the enegizer bunny) has been a blessing for the other dogs. the 2 big ones think they are each the mom to goose, and it's funny & sweet. i know casey sent her, might sound crazy but i do crazy well:) re- carbs, i did well including them @ breakfast & dinner. the ones i like are: granola (bare naked is my favorite), oatmeal, brown rice, high quality grain toast, and the obvious carbs that come from fruits & veggies. if i don't have a bit of carbs before a wkout, i putter out during it & am starved/fatigued afterwards.....same thing at night. if i include some brown rice or sweet/regular potato & veggies along w/my protein - i'm not picking or looking for a snack later on. something else i realized, is that i have to inlcude some fat to the meal. LF & FF doesn't satisfy me for long periods of time. i am VERY bad about supplements - think i took vitamins right after surgery and then just let them go......i hate taking pills happy tsday all!

* i struggle w/water & always have* i hate it plain - so have been making pictcher w/fresh fruit and it seems to be a bit easier. today - b- 1 scrambled egg & slice thin WW toast w/butter l- grilled shrimp (5) & black bean / corn salad s- half cucumber w/hummus d- bat (bacon/avocado/tomato - all in roamine lettuce cup) exercise - spin class / 20min row / 20min walk on treadmill

ang - thanks for the welcome. ..... *hearts* the posting pals. they all run - but i do spinning & weight training mostly. i've added rowing to the mix & i like that extra boost.......chasing that damn boat is a trip. SO i am going back to what worked for me diet wise during weightloss: carbs/fruit/dairy for breakfast fish/veggies for lunch snack - veggies/dairy dinner - protein/veggies - good carbs just stocked up on fruits/veggies/greek yogurt/fish @ whole foods - i thought i could give myself a pass and eat what i want.....BUT NO. UGH.. sounds like your in full swing at school ktork! have the BB sotrm as well - LOVE IT, was able to get here while on the treadmill:) puppy walk, AGAIN - gotta love a labs activity level.....check back in ltr!

hi mynewlife - i'm just shy of 2yrs out - 1yr at goal, but had to have an unfill due to a chest infection. i'll post today , knowing i get a fill tsday (yikes): b- 2 slices of margarita pizza l- .5c tuna salad in romaine lettuce cup s- bowl of edamame d- home made mac/cheese w/roasted tomatoes glad ok to join???

OK - that is some funny *stuff*. everytime we watch that - DH is like, you have that shirt - your hair is the same & that foul mouth is a ringer. we went out to friends yesterday and as i got out of the bathroom, he's like you just fell off the boat (NY).... i'm liking a clean slate here - i still have to work my band; though making fried chicken & homemade mac/cheese was probably not the best move this evening:) DH and i are co- dependent workout pals. didn't start out that way......i was off at the gym, while he slept in - did nothing and got to goal w/3 fills in 6 months. BUT he didn't like being alone - so started joining me. now he's like ceradad DAILY, when i want to take a break ... he taunts me...LOL have a good wk slim, check in when you can.

i seem to bounce back pretty good - , cause i don't let others rain on my parade:) thanks for asking tho!!!!

and you are a stylin' blonde! congrats on the mediums..... i need to up my exercise - have KC & glouc on their way to dallas this wk, and we do plan on hitting the fair and trying some fried butter

hi angie - thanks for the add. yes, some are from LBT. me, i'm just shy of 2yrs out - at goal over a yr......however an unfill due to sickness has been tough to manage. go tsday for a fill & can't come sooner - had 2 pcs of pizza for breakfast...LOL hope all had a good wkend, football time in labmom's house.....
