What I've learned this week

This week I have worked hard on getting and staying on track with my eating.  Of course it is easier said than done.  However, I can attest to doing a great job.  I did learn something though.

Having a completely empty band does not allow you to get full on 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food.   Nope.  No matter how hard I tried...bandster portions were not enough.  I measured everything and brought enough for the day...or so I thought.  I would get hungry exactly 1 to 2 hours after eating.  The next thing you know I have eaten all of my food for the day...and the day is only half over.  Needless to say it has been a rough week.  There have been a couple of trips tot he vending machine.

Next week I will plan my foods for my empty band.

Hope everyone has a great week.

P.S.  I hate the new blogger.

I choose to live!!!

Often times I try to remember why I decided to take this journey.  Then I remember that I was on a fast track to killing myself.  Although I was morbidly obese I never had any health issues or scares.  But how long would that have lasted?  I knew that I was not going to make it if I kept eating my life away.

My kids coming into my life was the deciding factor.  I had to live for me...but more importantly I had to live for them.  I choose to live and I'm glad I made that choice.

I say all this to say...that since my band is empty I have been eating like the old me.  The me who didn't care.  The me who didn't know when to stop.  It is such a slippery slope and easy to go back to the way I was. 

I refuse to be that person again.  I refuse to give up.  I choose to live...now it's time I did just that...live.  I'm taking back my health...one bite at a time. 

Exercise...no problem...eating...national disaster. 

It isn't easy...but I will never give up...every time I fall...I will stand back up...and keep moving forward. 

I hope you do the same.

WassUp?!?!

Okay...so I've been absent.  Shit happens.

I've decided I need to get back to logging my food...because honey...it has been a sin and a shame around these here parts.  I work out 5 times a week...but it doesn't matter if you are getting crap.  So I'm back on my hustle.  I log with my/fitness/pal.  If you want to be friends my handle is: lynnd719

Let's share our food sins together.  LOL

Other than that...nothing special going on in my life.

Maybe I will post something more important next time.

Tired of excuses

I've made all types of excuses last week of why I couldn't exercise...and I didn't.  It's a shame and a sin.  Now today I'm sitting here feeling extra plump.  LOL

Well this week I will get back to my regularly scheduled program.  At leas 5 days of activities this week.  No bullshit.  I might even try to get off the sauce (sugar) again. 

Here's to a healthy week. 

It's a new day

Today is a day that you can get it right.  Everyday is a time to start fresh.  Stop beating yourself up about what happened yesterday or last night...it's over...the past can't be changed...it's the past...let it go.

Have a great week!!!
