The good news is that I lost 2 more lbs! I had my last exam today and found out I have a hiatal hernia that needs to be repaired. I have my doubts since I have no reflux. The surgeon told me and another patient that we couldn't gain any weight between now and the surgery or he wouldn't operate. Or at least not more than 5 lbs. I don't plan to gain weight but I'll admit it was motivating.

Oh, here's something funny. One of the tests on the list for the hospital is a pregnancy test!...

Yesterday was another of those first for me. Hubby and I took the kids to Six Flags again. I got my daughter to ride a roller coaster for the first time and even though she was having a fit she was in the car. I had to get out because I could not fit in to the seat. I was embarssed that I had to get out of the cart and walk off the other side of the platform. At least we were toward the back so not everyone on the ride saw what I was doing.
I haven't really seen myself as a big person, but...

I was 235lbs on March 1, 2008. I am now 205lbs. I tried loosing weight for years and after a week or so on the "diet" I would give in to my sweet (sugar) cravings. The amazing thing is I lost half the weight during pre-op. The dedication I had to the liquid diet was unbelievable, unlike any other commitment I had made before on a diet. I made up my mine that if I was going to use the Lap Band,I would completely do everything I need to do to lose the weight before and after my surjery....

Not sure what my malfuntion is but wow I am not motivated to do much of anything! I have so much to do before I leave for Phoenix in the morning and it's just not happening. I even have the munchies supper bad. What am I so stressed out about? GEEZE

I actually really want to go for a walk but it is so bloody hot here all the sudden. I don't mind the heat when I have an adaptation period but it went from the mid 60's to the 90's in a matter of a week! Here I am whining about...

Why is it when I think about exercising I find so many "excuses" not to follow through. Here are my best:

1. I'm so busy, hard to find time...
Reality- I'm blogging right now?

2. I'm so tired after working 8 hours...
Reality- I feel energized after walking

3. My ankles swell after walking...
Reality- My heart swells from not walking

4. It's too hot...
Reality- I love the sun

5. It's too cold......
