Tuesday ramblings..and pics!

It's another sunny day today...love this weather, it motivates me. I was outside all day yesterday and accomplished quite a bit. I started seedlings for a veggie garden, this time I will grow this garden! I tried a couple years ago, but honestly I think my weight kept me out of the garden, and I really had no interest in it. Things are a little different now :)

My Dr. appt went well yesterday, he was very impressed that I had lost 11 lbs from my last appt about 3 1/2 weeks before that. He asked me if I was in the green zone, which is the "sweet spot" and I was like, no! He seemed a little surprised, I don't think he wanted to give me a fill, but he gave me a little one, and now I am going to see him monthly.

Then I started thinking, am I in the green? Am I satisfied all the time, I don't want to abuse the band, or misuse it in any way. But I don't think I was. Give me that fill!

I thought I would post a couple pis from my vacation, even swimsuit ones..*scary music*







Have a great day!

  8. You are rockin that black swimsuit! Congrats on the weight loss front. Isn't it funny that the doctors tell us, "the band is only a tool" you have to eat right and exercise. So when we follow their instructions and lose weight, but decide we need a little top off, they say "no" because you are losing weight already.....isn't that that the point to use ALL our tools?

  14. Looking good, Athena! Love the swimsuit and the white dress.

    You and I had our band surgery on the same day! You've lost a lot more than I have though. What are you up too in your band now? I'm at 4.5. Again. I was there last month, but was too tight, so doc took 1/2 cc out. Went back two days ago for my monthly check and he put it back in.

    Keep up the good work, you look wonderful!
