Ramblings of a 90 degree afternoon............

Weigh in today ~ official # is......187.4 - a gain from the other day but down 3.6 since last week ~ woo2hoo!   I'm sure that was the glass of wine I had last night after my bi-annual Golf outing. 

Speaking of Golf...my husband is a golfer ~ I am not.  Once every two years I'll go out with him and see if I like it yet ~ Not yet.  Frankly, I like my hobbies dangerous or deadly like Mountain Biking, Horseback Riding, Running or Cliff Diving.  Golf, I'll try again in 2013.

The Trophy Wives ~ golfing


So on to today's event ~ I went for a Fill a week earlier than scheduled.  Not all the time, but some of the time I can get down a lot of food ~ usually when I am sitting home alone and bored or when there is guacamole in front of me ~ it just jumps into my mouth.  I am hoping this fill (1cc) will reign me in a bit.  So I am up to 5cc total.  Twelve pounds lost since my last visit My Dr is happy and I am happy ~ what more could a girl ask for.  

I know everyone's journey is different ~ I am lucky that exercise has never been an issue ~ for me it is eating.  I have used and abused food since I was a kid.  It is just now with the help of the Band that I can slow down just enough to recognize the triggers and the split second when things go wrong.  I am 1 for 10 so far in stopping in that moment.  Like right now I am working from home...and that is a trigger for me ...and there is a box of cookies on the counter in front of me....I wont eat them because I am on liquids after my fill and because I am off sugar...but they are talking to me and waiving....I can imagine eating them ...then I immediately know that they won't taste as good as I think they will and then I will feel bad.  So I say NO! to you Mr Cookie ~ I am going to go for a bike ride ~ I say Good Day!
