Thursday Weigh-In + TTT


1.It's official.  I'll be weighing in on Thursdays from now on.
 
That's -1.8 pounds from last Thursday and 87.2 pounds lost overall.

2.  Hanger is such a good word.  I get really hangry (hungry + angry) if I don't pay attention to what and when I eat.  Yesterday was one of those days.  The whole day I had less than 300 calories and I felt like a raging bitch before bed.  I think I'm still kind of feeling the effects, but recovering.

3.  One of my favorite quick meals is the Chocolate Vivanno Smoothie from Starbucks.  Love it.... 270 Calories and 18g protein.

4.  Loving my outfit today.  It's all recycled clothes.
$4 shirt from consignment shopping last week
Free Size 14 Old Navy Jeans

Can you believe I started this in a size 26 jeans 9months ago!??!

 

5.  At work they've decided to put me in charge of one of the new studies. 
I will be the acting Lead Data Manager and Study Coordinator for the project.
That would be great and all if the pay was coming with the title.

6.  Speaking of work, my company is sending me to New Orleans in September.  Any NOLA bloggers out there?  I can't think of any, but not everyone discloses their location so openly.

7.  I still hate dating.  Don't really want to talk about what's going on because just anyone could do a quick google search to find my blog if they wanted to... but hopefully I'll make some definitive decisions soon and give you all an update.

8.  Did anyone see that the American Medical Association has decided to recognize Obesity as a disease?
Interesting read.

Wonder what the implacations could be for plastic surgery post weight-loss?

9.  Color Vibe is this weekend!  I have quite a group of running support and that's exciting.  Can't wait to tell you all about it!

10.  I'm exhausted and feeling weak.  Can't really come up with a tenth thing of substance to talk about.

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.
