Ok yes, I am crazy. I am going to count ever freaking minute. I am excited, worried, scarred. Every emotion that is possible. My husband is freaking out. He is on this job and it has to get done by Tuesday and he is worried they are going to lay him off. I keep telling him just do what you can do and it will be alright. I am going to concentrate my efforts on trying to pay off some bills, since I will soon have a loan to pay for ( I hate loans. I am scarred of something going wrong afterwards
So my Wii Age was 33 the beginning of this morning - not far from the 30 that I am. I decided that while Devin was sleeping with the dog and our roommates were out, I would hop on board and get my workout done. Holy cow --- I'm sweatin' like a pig! But it was good! I did the 30 minute step and it worked out to 2950 steps at a really steady pace. The best thing about the 30 minute free step --- you can watch tv while its going - so I put on the Family Channel for some mindless entertainm
I put on a new background but I dont know if it worked. Have to wait to see if it is accepted. It was a butterfly. I liked it. Well the count down has started about 7 weeks and we should be on a plane. Hubby asked me today if this is a for sure thing. Is anything ever for sure? I told him, we have put alot of money on this, it better be. I think he is scarred. I am too but, I am more scarred of dieing because I have fatty liver. I almost look forward to the pre-op diet, just to see how much I ca
So I just got back from a long walk with my husband and my dog, Beans. Nice night out but the mosquitoes are out to getcha! That they did, guess I forgot to spray on the arms! Oh well, it was nice and long and we kept up a good pace.
I talked to my mom today and she's told me that her & dad are going to give me the money for Tijuana to pay for and that we'll pay them back. This is such a huge relief for Devin and I..... Of course we won't be paying them back in the next few months but
my sf friend is in town again and i actually decided to hang out with her because i was just feeling good. i got the day off so i decided to hang with her. i asked her if she wanted to like skate around the neighborhood to jamba juice or whereever. this was like at 5 in the afternoon and the sun is still shining high so it was all good. but we didn't make out till 9 because she was held "hostage" by her family which was perfect because i just wanted to be lazy lounging around the house. anyway b
So its been a stressful week ..... We rent out a room in our house and our guest here seems to have moved right on in. Its been driving me nuts. So we finally asked him to leave as it was just too stressful with him invading our personal space. A really nice guy, but for my own sanity, he's got to go. I've found though that I'm not as much of a biotch this week because of the pre-op diet. It was mainly due to the stress of our renter .... my pre-op diet is going much better than what it wa
I get banded on Friday and have been struggling with the pre-opt diet. I already feel like a failure.... again. I am losing something everyday. I just hope it is enough........ My weight fluctuates so much, I never know how much I actually weigh.
In 1995 (25 yrs old), I weighed 140-145. I thought I was huge. This is where my cycle dieting cycle/binge cycle started.
I am a emotional eater. I think I punish myself with food, I take revenge on other with food, I sedate with food, I relax w
I have 1 wonderful, healthy little boy that is almost 3 years old. He came 8 weeks early because of high blood pressure. He weighed 2lbs 13oz at birth. Being a premie is such a risk for the child. I really want another child, but must get in control of my blood pressure. So I am starting this journey with the lap band to enable me to be a healthy mom for the child I have & for the child I want.

im really wondering what will happen!
Today was a pretty normal day on a liquid die
Ok so one bank called me and approved about $5300.00, that is not enough obviously so I am a bit worried. The loan processor told me not to worry that the next bank will call me next week or maybe the week after. Meanwhile, I got two other banks working on a possible approval. One is here in town and they have a good reputation. I was hoping for one full loan but it looks like it may be two. I am a little nervous.
hubby is getting nervous. He still has not asked for the time off, he said that i
so i'm only going to weigh myself on sundays and thursdays. they seem to be the days i actually get some results! so i was talking to one of my friends who also got the surgery done about how i hate that i'm not losing the weight fast enough. she tells me that mass weighs more than fat..i think..she continues with an analogy about how a basketball and golf ball weigh the same. the difference is that the basketball is full of air aka fat. she said it was obvious i was losing fat so she told me to
This my very first blog ever... so it may not be the most perfect, but i feel it important for myself to remember my highs and lows during this experience and aswell share it with anyone who wants to read it
My name is Rhonda and i live in Sydney Australia and im 35, i have a great supportive husband and 3 beautiful children aged 11, 8 and 6. They are truely my inspiration to a long healthy life. I have been over weight since my first daughter was born almost 12 years ago...and with each other
Okay this is my first blog. I am scheduled to have my lap-band on July 28, 2008. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I know that I have to do this if I want to live a healthy life. I am having a lot of trouble with the pre-op diet. It is very very hard to stick to this diet. I hope it will be easier after my sugery becuase I'm just hungry all the time right now. I hope I can take the weight off.
Here are my starting measurements: (
Weight - 233.5 lbs
Chest 45.5"
Waist 38"
i decided NOT to weight myself daily. do you know how much of a mood killer that is gahh! i'm always like yeah i did so good yesterday i probably lost a pound and then i weigh myself the next morning and it still says the same weight and i'm like WHAaaaaaT!!!?!!!
what is this obsession people are having with that movie "the dark knight"???! weird.....
anyway i didn't skate last night because i bruised my left elbow and half way down my forearm from crash landing on it while trying to do a tai
Holy cow ..... so I'm on day two of the pre-op diet with Ensure for Breakfast & Lunch and then a Lean Cuisine for dinner. I've probably drank enough water to equal a small lake today ..... and I learned you don't always have to flush the toilet every time you pee, especially if you go 5 times in an hour. Last night I thought I was dying -- I really truly did. I'm surprised my husband didn't leave me ... boy was I moody! Nasty moody! But I figure today is a little better and I'm gett
well i'm back on my exercising routines! i'm not going to call it routines because it's not really a routine per se. it's more like a way for me to kick up my heart rate so i have more energy throughout the day and be super happy all day! last night i actually went skating! i fell face forward and totally ate it! but now i know how to actually get on the board (without it flying the other way), how to stand (like arrange my feet) , how to shift the board so i don't run into the curb, and coast!
i've been doing very well on my diet. I haven't started exercising yet, because i never have time! But i got to find a way to start exercising again. work is good. everybody has pretty much mellowed out which is great or maybe its just me that has mellowed out?? well i'm just trying to be good and keep out of trouble. its funny because every time i'm quiet everybody always thinks something is wrong with me. haha! i'm enjoying the more serious mature side of me
this lady at work found out
Ok, so the loan paperwork is in. So far they have given me an ok but all the paperwork has to go to the bank for final approval. Appears they have called Dr. O to verify that I did set a date for the surgery. I talked to my boss, she thinks I am insane but approved the time off. The loan person said to wait to buy my airline tickets until he calls me on Monday. I have the money put away for that. I also have the money stashed for the rest of the payment. I need a total of $1700.00 to complete th
