Hi All... I apologize for not being on here much, especially since I pointed out that I was suprised so many people hadn't posted in a while on my last post. No excuse.. just haven't been feeling the "blog" thing lately. I am finding it really hard to put pen to paper (well, fingers to keyboard) and write about this lately.Here is where I am though... February 20th was my 3 year bandiversary... It went right by and I didn't even realize it until last week! Still by far, the BEST. DECISION. EVER. Honestly, I can't imagine life without my band, and I am starting to forget how uncomfortable I was back at the 280's and 290's... I hope I never really do forget because I don't ever want to end up back there, but I am glad that where I am now is more my "normal".
I got refilled back in mid-January, and it is awesome. I only got a "smidge" more in my band (medical term), but it was perfect, and I am at the right restriction, only able to eat about 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup of food at a sitting, and that lasts me a good 4-5 hours... I am finding though, that mentally I still really want to eat more. I want the sensation, the feeling, the taste, etc... I have to really be present in my eating to not subconciously put too much in. Thankfully (maybe?) though, I have this new "side effect" in that as soon as I put that extra bite in that is too much, I start getting a headache - and a killer one at that, so it is a good reminder that I've gone far enough! Kind of weird, but I'll take it!!! As of the other day, I was down to 210 so I am quite pleased with myself, especially since I am not doing ANY exercise other than hauling around Liam!
I am excited about BOOBS 3.0... hoping that everything will work out that I can make it this fall. We have alot going on, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out, and hopefully I will know for sure in the next month or so.
On the family front, we are just wrapping up a bout of RSV and yet ANOTHER ear infection with Liam, but he seems to be handling it okay - was out of school all week until today, but back now... Lucia is doing great - just a wonderful 7 year old girl. We are really blessed! Okay... I promise I will try to blog more. I am still reading everyones though!!!
Oh - and on the picture... Three Year NSV is that we got our girl scout cookies last night, and I was COMPLETELY SATISFIED with just 2 cookies. Hooray!!!

I've managed to only overindulge once this past week in the Thanks A Lot cookies (shortbread with chocolate) and OMG. I thought I died and went to heaven. Stay strong on the cookie front! :)
2 Girl Scout cookies is almost impossible! Go you! :)
Happy three years! You are doing fantastically!
Happy Bandiversary! I hope Liam gets all the way better. My nephew has been having similar issues. He's a year old. It's so sad seeing them upset and sick. :(
Happy Bandiversary, I'm not feeling the blogging thing either, know exactly how you feel.
Hope that Liam gets better soon, my son got an ear infection everytime he cut a tooth, so horrible for them.
