Six Month Bandiversary

Six Month Bandiversary

 

July 10, 2006 to January 10, 2007

 

Today marks SIX Months of my new life with a LapBand.

 

It has been an interesting trip, and I think one for the better. Lots of life options available to me now. And I'm gonna try most of them! I even had a date with a cute chick last week!  

 

Being a Bandiversary, I felt the need to step on the official Deaconess scales this morning.

 

282.         87 down!

 

That is three pounds down since two weeks ago. 

 

I had recently stated that my goal for the next few months is to lose 5 pounds a month. So, I am right on track.  These three pounds were not done with exercise. I have not been riding my exercise bike these last two weeks due to a cold, and being quite busy. Most nights have had me working at my rental property - painting and what not. While you can get sore from painting, I doubt that painting burns as many calories as a good bike ride.

 

At the rental I have just taken a bunch of string cheese and turkey pepperoni for my snacks. Both are "high protein for the calories" type foods. And they taste great and keep you feeling full for a while, even after just eating a few ounces.

 

Once I get the work done at the rental, and my cold is gone, I'll start riding the exercise bike in the basement again. That will help with the weight loss as well as help get me ready for Bike Florida in March.

 

So there you have it, HAPPY BANDIVERSARY TO ME!
