Update... Sort Of

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately, I had to reschedule my appt. with Dr. Campos last

Wednesday :-( At work, my boss scheduled a mandatory meeting on

Wednesday and I had to complete my revenue reports. One thing I

learned, don't ditch the boss when he's got money on his mind or I'll

have new employment on mine. However, I have good news. I had good

restriction on Thursday and Friday because of pre-menstrual bloat, so

that last fill must have done something? At least this tells me that

there's nothing horrible going on in there if my band works on a rare

occasion when it feels like it. I'm slowly starting to accept that I

am just one of those people with a lazy lap-band. I'm still going to

Mexicali soon to have it looked at, just to be safe

In the meantime, I refuse to be deterred by a lazy band (done that

long enough!). I've been putting up one helluva fight. I've been

following the South Beach Diet religiously... it has been a month

since sugar or white starch has crossed my lips. Even so South Beach

doesn't require calorie counting, I still keep my calorie count

between 950 - 1100. It's tough and sometimes life gets in the way (a

friend's bbq, a night out on the town), but I exercise every day. I

do a lot of kickboxing, rollerblading (with my Landrollers that are

SO COOL!), and a few weeks ago started trail running. I find a steep

hiking trail and instead of hiking it, I run it like a mad-woman! And

I throw in weights twice a week. Darn it, I'm going to lose these

last 20 lbs. if I have to literally punch and kick my way there!!
