Just a Tool

I really have to keep reminding myself that the Lapband is just a tool to weight loss.  Diet seems to be the main key to this whole thing.  The last few weeks I have been really focusing on what I have been eating.  I got a another fill about a week ago, and seem to finally have a bit of restriction which has been fantastic and helping with the diet.  I have been trying to eat "clean"  protein, veggies and small amounts of carbs.  This last week I have lost almost 8lb which is really exciting.  Football season is right around the corner and want to be down some more poundage before I see old friends.

I am still exercising 6 days a week.  Body Trac on MWF and swimming on T, TH and Sat. 

Here's to hopefully another week of weightloss.

4th of July

Well I have finished my first week of Body Trac...woo hoo... Although I was unable to move my arms at all yesterday because my triceps were hurting so bad.. Seriously I couldnt even brush my hair. 

Yesterday was the 4th of July, coincidentily it was also my Birthday.  I had a horrible eating today and drank a giant frozen margarita with lunch.  Hopefully  this week is much better on the diet.  I still dont feel a lot of restriciton with the lap band, hoping as I get more fills I will be able to eat less.  Apparantly finding your "sweet spot" as they refer to it in lapband world is the main goal..as of now I definetly have not found it.

Side note..my husband had his first day of Body Trac today.. Let's just say, he can no longer laugh at me ;)
