Ten Month Bandiversary Weigh-In + TTT

1. Lowest weight since high school alert!
Sorry it's hard to read, that says 253.2

Yesterday was my 10 month Bandiversary, and I'm down 91.2 pounds!
Today's weight is 2.8 pounds down from Dr. Yoo's recorded weight last week, but only .8 pounds down from a couple of weeks ago when I bought this new scale.

2.  Does anyone else feel a little star-struck when LBG comments on your blog and gives you a compliment?
It's like a Angelina Jolie just stopped you to tell you you have pretty lips or something.

3.  Random thought as I eat them, but Reduced Fat Wheat things remind me of what I think cardboard would taste like.

4.  Beach tomorrow!
I have known my best friend for 11 years and we've never gone on vacation together, so I'm totally excited.

5.  Speaking of the beach, I got a new rockin Jessica Simpson bathing suit last week!

6.  It is hot as hell here lately!
I went for a walk with a friend yesterday, and it was seriously so hot.  We were so sweaty after 25 minutes!
She is not out of shape, and even she was ready to be done!

7.  Work is really not getting any better.
I'm officially the Study Coordinator and Lead Data Manager on a new study.
These 2 titles are usually held by 2 separate people.
They are also both above my pay grade.
Yet I'm doing them both and not getting rewarded for it.  It's quite frustrating.

8.  A former friend's brother died this week and it really affected me in a way I don't understand.
She and I haven't spoken since January, but for some reason I wanted to reach out to her.
I didn't want to call or text, I'm not sure either of those would really be welcome, and if they were, I didn't want to open lines of communication.  I'm good without her in my life anymore, probably even better, but it doesn't mean I am not sad for her family.

I opted for a card.

9.  If you ever read my TTT and wonder what the order means:
 I always make #1 my weigh in and #10 my favorite thing to say.

10. I'm kind of smitten with the Banker.
I really wanted to see him last night before I leave town today, unfortunately he wasn't feeling all that well.
We texted most of the evening, but then right before bedtime, he asked me to facetime him so he could see me.  I thought this was really sweet.  <3

I hope he's as into me as I am into him.

    I hope the stuff at work works itself out soon. That is very frustrating. I think the card was a good idea!

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.
