Well its birthday weekend. I am doing my best to get this house ready for the party. I got 12 kids RSVP'd for the party so far. I think having it on Sunday did detour some people..but that is ok with me!
Food has been pretty good and exercise is still happening.
There has been a lot going on personally that I don't want to delve onto in here but I am thinking about trying a trial separation with hubby, I have just been pretty miserable at home and don't think it should be that way.
You should know I am serious when Johnny and I would have to move in with my mom.(Guess I would really lose weight then!)
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Weigh In Wednesday..Yay! a Loss!
Weigh In Wednesday
Last Week 172.5
This Week 170.0
-------------------
Total Loss 2.5
MAN SO CLOSE To 160's I was hoping I would hit it but I guess this is not the week. I was happy to see the loss, especially because I went out to eat so much this weekend, and last night...
Its the dogs birthday today...we actually do a little celebration..buy him a pupcake and a dog bone and the whole nine yards..Johnny loves it. I think he loves it because he know his birthday is a week away. I still have a lot of house cleaning to do until the party..but I am kind of waiting until last minute because my house gets dirty quick..doesn't take much. The floors are really the worst..I swear they get SOOOO dirty. Mopping once a week is a must..sometimes I sweep twice a week. Grass seems to get tracked in by everyone. Hubby and Johnny got me a cute couple of necklaces..One is a heart and the other is a tag that says BELIEVE..I also got a gift card to Kohls and a new journal. I LOVE it.

42 and proud!!!
So its my birthday today...I am 42..Yikes..can't believe I am 42..I still feel like my 20's at times.
I remember last year at this time. I was recouping from my second surgery to fix my port. I remember thinking yay me....sitting there, was this going to work, at this point I was doubting it because I hadn't really lost much weight and I was a couple months out from my original surgery with no fills and eating pretty much anything. I was pretty down. I wish I could have told myself to relax and realize that I would be 170 at my next birthday..down almost a 100lbs, I would be living in size 10's flirting with 8's I never thought I would get here...I had hoped to be under 200 but I always had doubts.
Well I don't have doubts anymore. I did not give up...and there were many times I wanted to. I kept doing what I saw so many other successful banders do. So for my next birthday..I plan on being at goal at 150. I plan to be at maintenance and I am looking forward to this new year and new me. I think this is going to be a challenging year for me, but I am ready!

Does weight resituate..over time
I am sitting outside enjoying the sunshine....I must let you know...because summer is coming and then I will be holed up inside the house with the A/C cranked...yes my A/C is running now..I don't like it above 80 in the house :P
I had a lovely weekend meeting up with some friends for lunch. I met up with my first friend on Saturday, she had band done same time as me, looked great..didn't recognize her its been about 3 months since I seen her. Although she says she had only lost 4lbs in that time her weight looked different..like it had re situated itself.. I wonder if weight does that? I would love to do plastics but I am not sure if I want to wait a year after goal and see what everything looks like. Her daughter got the sleeve done same time as us...get this she was 467lbs and she is now 189..she did just got back from Mexico getting new boobs, tummy tuck, arms and something else trimmed up..but that is an insane amount of weight she lost...she is a just a shimmer of what she used to be.
On Sunday, I had another great lunch with my bander blogger friends...Jen and Elizabeth..we tried a new place Chelseas Kitchen..in Arcadia and I was not a fan of the place..and it is famous...I thought my food was bland. I didn't even ask Jen and Elizabeth what or how there food was....we gabbed the whole time...almost 2 hours of gabbing...I love them girls

long hair gets everywhere....
So I have been growing my hair long since I started my journey..not sure if there is a correlation but I seem to think I need to be thing with long flowing hair...lol! Lately I find that hair everywhere. I had a strand I pulled out of the back of my pants...not knowing it was journeyed thru my butt crack and hooshie crack..lets just say pulling that string of hair let out a whoop! I get globs of it catch the drain everyday..I usually have to clear the drain every other day. Hairbrush I clean once a week..and the hair on the back of my shirt that I clear off before I walk out the house...at times I wonder if I am going bald..but I don't notice any difference in thinness I think with it so long I just notice it more..short hairs fall away..long hairs get wrapped around everything. I also find that now that I have lost the weight I don't sweat so much at night..I used to wake up in the middle of the night and have to change my shirt because it was soaked....that has not been the case, which means I wake up and my hair is dry. bonus! Well sorry to boar you to tears!

No loss Wednesday
Last Weeks Weight 172.5
This Weeks Weight 172.5
---------------------
NO LOSS
Stayed the same. I would say that a plateau was in order..but in reality..my food has not been spot on. I have indulged in more than a few items I should not...BREAD and my calorie count was higher this week. I wish I could have a few bad days and still lose...but my weight is so tightly tied to my calories. So back to concentrating on my protein. I am going out to lunch a couple times this weekend and my mom is taking Johnny camping so we have a date weekend...this is going to be a challenging weekend for me to stay on track with food. I hate when I go out to eat a bunch..the calories are always higher no matter how hard I try to keep them down. I will increase the exercise in hopes of counterbalancing the calories.
Oh an EGD is when they take a camera down your esophagus and check out your band to make sure no slips or enlarged pouches or dilation in your pouch. Its just done by my office yearly to make sure the band is looking ok.

Random Pants Tuesday
Random Tuesday.
1.) Friday we hung out with some friends and their kids..the kids had a blast..we put up a tent outside and bbq, smored and shot off fireworks..it was good fun....I call the lady the bush master because last year at the pool she had so much hair down by her privates it was overflowing outside her suit...I know gross..visual..eh?
2.) On Saturday I met my friend Jay at Wildflower bakery and had the potato soup..It came with two hunks of bread..didn't think I would could eat it...not a problem when you are sitting talking for 3 hours...and eating it slow...but boy that bread was nummy
3.) I bought two pair of size 8 pants well one is a pants..one is capris. I got them on..but have a bit of a muffin top so I need to drop about 10lbs I think to be comfortable in them.
4.) I am taking this Friday off to go thrift shopping...I am in dire need of some shirts ...I am really short of shirts and with the nicer weather I have even fewer short sleeve shirts.
5.) I mailed in my check yesterday to the state..yes..I waited until the last possible second.
6.) My work left a case of diet coke in the break room and said take what you want...I took 2 cans...I don't drink soda because it gives me a wicked shoulder ache...why did I grab 2?
7.) My doc said its time for my yearly EGD..that requires an unfill and then a outpatient procedure and then you start to put your fills back...it took me so long to get green I don't want to do my EGD..thinking about putting it off for another couple of months...
