Motivation? Where are you?

Has anyone seen my motivation?

I sure haven't.

I was looking back at my weights since mid-July, and I really haven't lost anything these last six weeks.  I need to do something to change that.  I've switched to the 200 calorie meals every three hours as Dr. Yoo suggested, but no change.

I don't think I'm doing anything particularly bad, food-wise.

I've just been LAZY.

Have I thought about running?  Sure.

Have I gotten my ass up and done it?  Nope.

I don't know how to motivate myself right now.  I haven't lost interest in losing weight/being healthier, but I think it's harder now that I feel more comfortable in my skin.  I've gotten complacent I guess.  I need to fix this, but I don't know how.

I'm scheduled for another fill on Thursday.  Problem is, I don't think nutrition is my problem.  I think not getting off my ass is my problem.


I got super dehydrated last week, and saw this weight but didn't post it because that was a -14 pound loss in two weeks so I knew it wouldn't last:


So now that I'm no longer dehydrated, I'm back up almost to where I was before.  We will see what happens on Thursday.

If you have any tips for what motivates you to get up and work out, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send them my way!

    Routine, routine, routine. Well routine and planning. I make a plan on Sunday for when, where and how I'm going to work out during the week. If I haven't planned, I'm sure it isn't going to happen.

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
