A Rant...
I am really really freaking annoyed at the fact that so many people that I know who have lapbands and have had awesome results are now back into triple figures because their bands have stuffed up.
OK I get that the reason for getting the band in the first place is because...

Day 7, Week 4..SUNDAY
So as you know from the last post I have been feeling rather BLAH the past couple of weeks and as a result have been emotional eating and then feeling quilty because of it and so then of course eating my guilt....you know what I'm saying - that vicious cycle of self sabbotage!
Anyway, I was...

Day 2, Week 4 - Melbourne Cup Day
An update which is unfortunately not a positive one...
I quite often hold off on posting blogs like this one because as I have mentioned previously I 'try' to always be positive but today I decided too bad - I am human and that means I too have days where I just feel like shit and today I am going to...

Well its Week 2, Day 5 of the Empowerment Challenge and as the saying goes....So far, So good!!

Time for an Update
So for the past week I have been writting a blog in my head which goes something a little like this.....
I am so completely and utterly disgusted in myself because I have put on weight and so I feel like a total hyercrite, I'm over my knee not enabling me to do the kind of exercise I want, I am...

Monday September 5th 2011
Hmmmmm, I seriously don't even know where to start with this update? The past month has been crappy to say the least, just one thing after the bloody other (capped off with Fathers Day) and to be totally honest with you, I spent the weekend in bed with...

Knee Update - 1 week and 1 day after
It is 1 week and 1 day since my Knee Op and recovery is coming along SLOWLY but surely...
Here is what it looked like on Day 4
I will admitt that unfortunately my recovery has been hindered (I ripped out one of my stitches) because of me being me and doing a little too much too quickly - like cleaning my house on Sunday...

"Knee Day" Came and Went
Hi All, Just a quick message as my happy pills have started to kick in and all the letters are starting to blend into one big kalidescope looking thing LOL!
I had my knee operation on Wednesday and on top of the Arthroscope I also needed to have a Lateral Release as it was a little messier than he first thought. Watch a video of Arthroscopy...

Monday August 1, 2011
I don't exactly know where to even begin with this blog as the past month has been one of so many ups and downs that it has left me feeling somewhat numb to the whole thing - I am, or more to the point I 'was' (I kicked my own butt back into gear this morning) in a state of 'I don't really...

Persistance and Consistency
I was sent an email this week reminding me that 'Results come from persistance and consistency' and so despite just wanting to crawl into bed I pushed myself to do my 30 minuntes of cardio. I only did 15 minutes on the bike tonight as my toosh was a little sore, so for the other 15 I did the WII Fitness...
Popcorn - 0 V's Me - 2 Whoo Hoo!
So today was my special catch up day with Sharon and off to the movies we went. The first thing that hit me as I walked up the stairs was the delicious smell of popcorn...BUT, my will power was strong and so it was only a small coke zero for me (big mistake as I need to pee half...

Day 1, Week 6 of Aim to Change
I am so ready to get back on track. Not that I fell off the rails 'completely' (not far off though to be honest) but I have been complacent and now with only 5 weeks until I get my knee operated on its time to kick some butt - my butt LOL!
I weighed in on my scales this morning and...

Day 5,Week 5 - Aim to Change
Ok ok so I know that I say this alot but OMGosh where does the time go - seriously; the past week and a bit has flown and I am only just catching up to it. Admittedly my baby boy turning 6 on Sunday threw me through a loop *sigh*.
So, I'm not going to go into a long boring update but I will...

Day 2, Week 4 - Aim to Change
I lost 700grams this week which is better than a kick up the butt!
Today my Step Dad went in to have surgery and as waiting is not something I am too good at I kept myself busy by walking the kids to school, cleaning the house, shopping and then cooking! Yes, you read that right...

Day 1, Week 4 of Aim to Change
Tonight I went to boxing and struggled big time...to the point of having to run out and vomitt (well as much as I can with the band anyway - its more like yucky thick saliva. Sorry for sharing that but its fact).
So at first I put it down to my fitness level dropping from the 4 days off...

A Binge Win To Me!
Last night I was chatting to a friend on facebook about 'excess skin' from weight loss and it raised alot of emotions that I thought I had dealt with but now know that I still have more work to do. The next thing I know I was scoffing down one of Glenn's Almond...

Day 2, Week 3 - Aim to Change
Well I know I said I wasn't weighing in but I did and the stupid horrible things have gone up by 100grams which sucks BUT at the same time its 'bloat boat' time (LOL - Thanks for the new word Amy) and so I am just going to ignore what it says because after all its only a number and I know it will go...

Day 6, Week 2 - Aim to change!
So where was I....
Wednesday I did a PT session with Steve which I really enjoyed. I am now up to the 'big boy' weights and even managed to find my 'high point' which I found to be quite a funny experience. I don't think my arms have ever shaken (or is it shook?) so much and I was...
