I got nothing...

...to talk about.  Things are just going along.  So I'm going to do a bullets post.  I love bullets!!!

  • I saw a new low on the scale 279.  Makes me smile....a lot.

  • I'm trying to train myself to eat like a model bandster.  It's hard.  I don't think I ever did it right from the beginning.  I don't want to be a failure with this band....so I am trying to do things right.

  • I STILL DON'T HAVE GOOD RESTRICTION!!!  I mean there is something there...but not much.  I hate that.  I desire the type of restriction that will force me to stop eating.  Will I ever find it?

  • Exercise has been good.  Not the best this week, but I keep moving.  I am determined to love exercise.

  • May will find me at 6 months banded.  I'm going to post comparison photos.  OMG...I hope there is a visible difference.

  • Positive Affirmation:  I love to see you smile Dawnya.  Especially a genuine smile...your entire face lights up.  Things have been a little tight lately, but you continue to push forward.  I love your resilience.  Keep up the good work girl!

Hang in there girl, you WILL get there! And you made me just realize, my six months is coming up in a couple weeks! Oh my, where has the time gone? Congrats on the new low. And hang in there, keep pushing! I love your smile too!

Congrats on the new low!! What a lovely affirmation. I am certain we will notice the difference in comparison photos.

Great job on the new low, but remember this one thing, hon...There is NO SUCH THING as a model bandster. We all go through our rough patches, we all cheat the rules at times, but we just remember to pick ourselves up again and keep on keepin' on. You are a success and will continue to be :)

Hi Dawnya - Thanks for the comment as I wasn't following you, so I'll have to catch up on your blog!

I wanted to give you a nice friendly little slap (it's itty bitty and given with kindness). GIRL that is 32 lbs in 5 months. That's 6.4 lbs a month or 1.6 lbs a week. And, 112,000 EXTRA calories you have burned to get that weight off. You ARE doing great!!!

One other thing in glancing at the bullets on this post of yours. "Loving" exercise is hard. While I am sure there are people that "love" exercise, I pretty much think people that say that are bat poop crazy! But what I found that helped me was finding something that I enjoyed doing (and enjoy isn't the right word as much as not dreading going). And, to focus on how good I felt afterwards and the rest of the day(Healthy and strong!).

I look forward to reading about your continued success!!!!

I enjoy exercise, but I had to trick myself into it. (I said it enough that I finally believed it - and every time I start to sweat to this day - I say yay and pump my fist in the air - cuz I love that feeling!! -- I swear it worked)

You are doing fantastically and I before this fill that has hindered my ability to eat, I too was working on concentrating on the bandster basics and I think that was absolutely the right thing to do and when I can eat again will be what I go right back to.

Congratulations on your new low!!
