So i went to the doctors again… I have still lost a little, but not enough…

So in the 1.5 hour to see the doctor, I figured it out. It’s the drinks. I shouldn’t drink anything that i do drink at the moment. My favorite drink, which is a low fat and low sugar iced coffee, is 400 calories… WTF! Once i realised this, I have realised where my weight is now coming from. It used to come from food and drinks. now however it is still coming from the drinks.

So that’s i am now a recovering coke(a-cola), iced coffee and juice addict. So I think I have it all figured it out.

On the good side, I went to the park today for a run! This is insane I don’t think I have ever run for exercise. I think the last time i ran to get somewhere fast was four or five years ago, and even then it killed me. I feel like a normal person. insane.

Hi there everyone…

I went to the doctors yesterday and i weighed myself.

And as it turned out, I was right.

I had still lost weight, but not as much as I used to.

The doctor and I have narrowed down to lunch. For some reason i tend to skip lunch. Which means that at ten at night I snack… And i don’t know anyone who makes good decisions at 10pm…

So I have sorted out a little bit of a new meal plan….

I gotta get rid of those other 25 kgs!

XOX

Hi there everyone,

Ok i haven’t been blogging and it’s not because i have a good reason either.

i haven’t been blogging because i haven’t been feelling like a good enough role model.

BUT now i have come to the conclusion that i need to say this, like alcoholics anoyomous, to make progress.

I have been snacking! ice cream and coke are the main offenders.

So there it is.

I haven’t weighed myself in a month or so, because i haven’t looking forward to the results.

i do feel a little smaller, but i don’t think i have lost much recently.

I am going to the doctors tomorrow to get a fill, so i will weigh myself then. I will let you know tomorrow if I am right.

Anyway… So this week i went to the gym, not once but twice… Which is good.

And now that I have been thinking about i think that the fact that i am so down on myself for snacking is actually a good thing.

I mean a year ago i used to snack without a thought. Now at least i know right from wrong..

So to resolve the snacking issue and the untoned body issue I am going to get into the gym. I am aiming to three times next week, four times the week after and my final goal is five times a week (three weeks in). I sorted out a new gym circut thing. Which for the first time in my life doesn’t have an hour of cardio.

The gym guy said that because i have lost a lot of weight (which despite my recent crash i know is very true) I don’t have to do as much sweat and tears stuff anymore. I just have to do enough to keep my healthy and continue losing weight a bit.

This makes me very happy.

O I feel good that i got that off my chest…

CHOLE… I am going to email you tonight so watch your inbox..,

I am sorry that I haven’t been updating you on my ongoings.

I have been really busy with the rest of live, you know my non lap band life.

I know there has been people visiting my site so i decided to open up the line of discussion.

What do you want to know about Lap Bands?

Tell me..and i will tell you…

Hi there…

See I told you I would start posting on a regular basis!

I went to the hairdresser today. Paul (the best hair dresser in the world - 96 degrees in the Sun) decided that if i have lost a few kilos i should lose a few inches…

So I got a fringe and RockStar bangs. And I look f*cking hot~!

Haven’t checked my weight.. don’t have to, every look i recieve from tradesmen is enough.

MWAH

Well I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. I haven’t seen my hairdresser in three months. So lets see how he reacts.

BIGGER NEWS: I went to Kmart yesterday to buy some pants (yes all of mine fall down) and I went to the NORMAL GILRS department… AND I Purchased a pair of size 16 JEANS… as mentioned before, jeans are a true test!

AND I went to the doctors and weighed myself.

FREAKIN’ A!

Current Weight: 111 kgs
Goal Weight: 72 kgs
Only 39 kgs to go…

I know it’s has been two weeks since I have posted and I promise that after the next week you will be seeing updates everyday.

But I have spent the last two weeks, eating the right foods… OK OK OK I have had some fun size packets of chips. And some chocolate. But moderation is the key.

I mean the thing I am starting to realise that the LapBand™ has helped me lose weight and will continue helping me lose weight. But if I don’t eat the right foods and exercise I will just be thinner and unhealthy. The boast you feel from 3 vegetables is more than an energy drink. It lasts longer. And it does good.

I am really into roast beef at the moment. It’s tender enough for me to get down. The accompanying gravy wasn’t great for me but a treat isn’t the end of the world…right?

I have been taking dog on a walk almost everyday. Which has been great. He has been ultra happy and I have realised that if I take the pressure off exercising it’s really quite fun.

Ok so I have a deadline for my thesis (oh yes I am doing my Masters) this week so I need to work on that for a bit.

WEIGHT UPDATE NEXT WEEK!!! Lets see how far healthy eating and exercise gets me?

So I went to doctors today.

How on earth does one casually mention that they have constipation? My body is also retaining liquid.

So while I have lost a couple of inches around my tummy the scales told a different story.

I haven’t budged a bit.

It’s time to eat some fibre! Things that come from a can are not a diet. Fruit, vegies, protein and NO CHOCOLATE are a diet! Well a way of living.

On the brighter side… I went to DFO today and went and brought a pair of size 18 jeans. So it’s official (and everybody knows jeans are the test – not much give there) I am down from a SIZE 22-24 to an 18!!!!!

Current Weight: 114 kgs
Goal Weight: 72 kgs
Only 42 kgs to go…

I am still having problems with my back. The doctors at the bariatric centre don’t think that the back pain has anything to do with my band.

My GP doesn’t think it has anything to do with my band either, just one of those things I guess.

My GP suggested rubbing the muscle pain stuff, which works but only temporarily.

I am still officially losing weight, but without eating properly I am not feeling great. I am lazy and can’t exercise because my back hurts. Which means that I am not losing weight the way I want to.
