It's February...

...and I'm still sticking to my New Year Resolution!  That is probably about 20 days longer than I've ever stuck to a Yearly Resolution before!  So...what was my 2013 Resolution? ..........

 

Yes, that's right, to take the stairs.  I actually made this resolution in 2011 and didn't stick to it.  In fact, I don't think I EVER ONCE did what I said I was going to do that year.  But this year is different.  I'm 67 pounds lighter so far, and it is A LOT easier to walk up the stairs to my desk as opposed to taking the elevator.  I was so serious about it that I've written it on my whiteboard at work where I write my weekly tasks to be completed.

Anyway, I know it is a small resolution, but I don't make big resolutions.  And little changes help :)

Also, I was looking at photos last night and wanted to share something.  Look at the difference in my face from last year to this year (sorry the photo quality on both pictures kind of sucks)....
Photo from March 2012... I cannot believe me and one other person finished all of that Sushi....
Yesterday... I think my face looks different?  A lot of people tell me I look younger.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
