Yup.....I'm with the band!

Welcome to my online journal of my journey from fat girl to phat girl :) I had the Lap Band surgery in 2007 and I'm closing in on my goal weight... this next year is critical in reaching this goal and moving past a lot of junk and poor habits.

I'm in love and it's not with a Man.... or a Woman! LOL! I'm in love with Beach Body and what it has helped me accomplish in the last three years. The Lap Band is not a gimmick and it isn't an unlockable Chasity Belt. It's HARD HARD work and what's made it possible for me to lose these 90+ lbs, however, slowly is Beach Body. Yoga Booty Ballet and Hip Hop Abs has given me back my girliness :)

I'll be as candid as I can without letting all my mystery :)

You'll follow me through intensive cardio training... back to basics lap bandisms, maybe an adjustment or two, the headache of what this loss does to the body (loose skin--- eww!), my support group for Lap Band and Bariatric patients both Pre and Post Op, and OH YES my 40th birthday! This won't be BORing!


CREAMY GARDEN TURKEY ROLL UPS
Kids LOVE these…and they’re so excited to eat rolled up turkey, they forget to notice the vegetables!
These are quick to make and keep well in the refrigerator for a super easy grab-n-go lunch. You can vary the veggie ingredients to suit your taste or what’s on hand in the fridge…go nuts with other seasonings. Pair them with some soy chips and you’ve got a complete meal that will keep you full for hours!
