OK. I just weighed myself- again. I lost another 3lbs. I have reached my 20lb goal and can go to West Palm Beach for my birthday weekend! I think this last fill reached my magic number in terms of liquid in my band. I can tell the difference in my legs and waist. I am so solid that I think it will take time for me to really notice the loss. One thing I have noticed is that I have dimples and that I lost a chin!
Some of my coworkers say they can see the loss. I never thought I would say this but I can't wait until I can hit the gym again! The doc doesn't want me in the gym until he sees me. At first I was happy to oblige. Now I crave the elliptical! Tell anyone and I will deny, deny, deny!
Its strange that I have to remind myself to eat. I have never had that problem. I'll have protein in the morning and if I am not at work, I won't remember to eat until dinner when I get really hungry. I am loving this.
It took me two and half years AFTER getting my Lap Band to get serious about loosing weight. I just got tired of being so heavy! Of praying that when I go to a restaurant that the chairs don't have sides so they don't dig into my hips! I refused to pay for two seats on a plane! I wanted to buy cute clothes. But what really spurred me on was my health. I have a bad knee. I'm 33 and I have degenerative osteoarthritis. I refuse to have to have a knee replacement like my mom and gram. My cholesterol is 156, which is up for me and my arm is so big that they must use a thigh cuff to get an accurate read on my blood pressure. At least that is on the low to normal side. I refuse to have to take more pills. I want to ride on roller coasters again!
So in this case, loosing weight is winning!

Obsession
So, I was invited a birthday party. A 40th birthday party for a friend/co-worker. I'm cool with the party. Not cool with the theme. Sex and the City. That means I have to dress up. I hate dressing up. My feet hurt just thinking about it. I do clean up well but all the tugging, pulling, sticking, moving and stuffing exhausts me! Not to mention I have to beat the face into submission.
Now I got my band closed a little bit more a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to wait until I go back to the orthopedic surgeon for my cortisone shot before hitting the gym again. I actually miss the gym but I will never admit it again. I weighed myself on Sunday. Today is Tuesday and I have lost 1.2 lbs if the scale is to be believed.
So I found a dress that I need to order. Of course I don't know how it will fit. So now I am obsessed with loosing enough weight by the middle of next month so the dress will fit well. I go to the docs on next Tuesday. I plan on being back into the gym by Thursday. Time to kick ass. I think.

I'mmmmmmm Baaaaacccccckkkkkkk!
....At least I think I am. Let's see how long it takes me to forget my password this time! As for life- Not much going on. I am dating Greasy again. He is from Ghana but works like a Jamaican. Then again if my rent were $1200 a month, I would be working like a Jamaican too! The good news is I see him most weekends and we talk everyday.
Work is crazy. I have actually been working overtime for the last couple of weeks. Now that I am off punishment (my caseload was a hot ass mess and I was confined to the office and had to have weekly one on ones with my boss. Fun!) My case load is finally under control and looking good and now I'm about to get some pretty messed up cases that will make my case load look like crap again! Damn job! But at least I have one.
I'm taking on a more active roll with my grandmother. This should be fun! When she is not calling me names I'll be taking her to doctor's appointments. If she pisses in my car I will put her out on the side of the road. I'll be good and actually stop the car first and I'll even pin her address to her!
My workout routine has hit a snag. Namely my knee is jacked up! I was on a roll too! But I see the surgeon on the 24th. In the mean time I do keep up my strengthening exercises when my knee is not swollen, hot and sore. I think it is time for a good ole cortisone shot!
Um that's about it for now......Over and Out!
