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!

Sunday: Day of Rest?

Tomorrow is Sunday... and day from working out, but I feel like getting some activity on.... I started my cycle and I hate this feeling, but working out takes away the bad cramping! I'm excited about doin Hip Hop Abs Monday, but really hope my "friend" who is "crashing" at my apartment leaves so I can exercise without all th weirdness of her being here... that's just stress I don't need right now....
Monday I'm also starting my Bariatric shakes etc.... I ordered more shakes and entrees from Bariatric Choice... I really wanna do this right and get in the Calories and Protein needed for both Hip Hop Abs and then Insanity.... I also so wanna get that good Jasmine Green Tea Emily got me hooked on years ago. This tea is awesome and doesn't need sweetner!
I'm going to have to rely on green tea during my workouts and after since I don't have the funds now for Recovery.....
I'm also making a crockpot of red beans.... that'll be helpful during the week for some beany goodness :) Okay well I'm watching Dave Chapelle... OMG funny stupid LOL so I'm gonna wind down for the night now :)

Oh yeah I'm also looking for some good shoes for a size 11 women.... any ideas, let me know :)
