Happy 2-Year “Bandiversary”!

I have passed the 2-year mark since getting my lap band.  Time is going by so fast, it seems.  I am sometimes not sure time really reflects change or change reflects time.  Perhaps they are like odds and ends, ups and downs – you really can’t have one without the other. I have started fitness [...]

The Real Race Is Within Yourself

Yeah!  I did the Peachtree Roadrace!  It was such a great experience!  I woke up at 6 am to get ready – eat breakfast – stretch – listen to some upbeat music.  I took MARTA to the Lenox station and found my group (8).  I had about 40 minutes until my timed group finally took [...]

Thoughts at 2:30 on Memorial Day

I have this sinus infection which is keeping me a little under the weather lately.  I’m not letting it stop me from being active!  I still went to my running group on Saturday to train for the Peachtree Road Race on July 4!!!  We did a 45-minute run and the weather was really humid and [...]

Good For The Soul

Getting frustrated b/c I haven’t lost any weight in over 3 months!  I’ve been eating well + working out.  I’m feeling restriction with my band.  My body must be in a SUPER STUBBORN place right now.  On the other hand, I’m glad to be alive and healthy and headed in the right direction.  Someone the [...]

Blogging Blues

This is for me to say out loud!  I am going to start blogging again soon!!!  I don’t know why I’ve been so uninspired to write lately.  This is probably the longest break I’ve taken since I got banded 1-year and 3 months ago (Oh-My-God.  Has it really been that long?)  Maybe it’s like anything [...]

Paris! T-Minus 2 Days!

I am very excited to be traveling to Paris!  Katie and I are leaving Tuesday and will arrive on Wednesday.  This trip was supposed to happen before my job, but due to a myriad of reasons, it was postponed.  I am going to get to meet some of the PR team who work at the [...]

Happy. Meal.

I really feel as though when you accomplish your battle with weight, you can accomplish anything.  The same thing can be said for folks who battle their problems with drugs, smoking or alcohol, but I think about food especially because my weight is always something that I have struggled with.  My entire life.  My mom [...]

Addictus

I was at the gym doing my cardio on the elliptical machine and I totally didn’t feel like working out today at all.  In order to pass the time a little, I grabbed a Newsweek that was at the gym.  Obviously it had gotten some good use since it was all wrinkled and torn.  The [...]

Share With The Group!

Ugh. Totally feeling frustrated. I think I’ve hit a plateau. I can’t seem to shake off this fluctuating between being down between 40-45 pounds. Everyone says, “But that’s a lot of weight!” And, it is! But with how hard I’ve been working, I feel like I should be down at least 50 by now. Just [...]
