Weigh in Wednesday and goals update

Today's weight is 260.6....................... -0.4 loss since last week. It's a loss, but a small one.

I really want to lose this last 60 pounds before 2014 and I came to the realization this morning that it isn't going to happen if I don't change something. I need to get my butt in gear! If I keep losing half a pound consistently every week, I will be lucky to lose another 20 before Christmas.

I need to consistently lose close to 2 pounds every week to make it to my goal weight by 2014.  I'm still not sure it's going to happen, but I want it!  If I can do it, I will have lost 145 pounds in 14 months. 

So here is the plan:

1. Try letting my band get a little looser to allow me to make different food choices. After going back through my blog, I realized my biggest losses have come as a surprise to me after a week of loose-band-syndrome, thinking I would've gained weight and then didn't.  So maybe you all are onto something and I am going to do better if I let my band relax a little.

2. Exercise harder! This is the last week of c25k....can you believe it? The group has given me a great foundation for running, now I just need to pick it up and take off on my own. I have a nice neighborhood to run in, no excuses why I can't do it every day.

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.
