At 400+ pounds, I finally pushed myself to get the Lap-Band surgery. This is the tale of how I'm trying to become the woman inside of me that's fighting to get out.

Previously, on this blog...

Yeah...I kinda disappeared for a few days. I noticed a pattern with my blogging: if I'm not working out or losing weight, I just don't feel like posting.

Anyways, Friday I did weigh myself, 412 lbs. I gained 2 pounds in about 3 weeks, but considering I was eating like crap lately with no restriction, I'm definitely not complaining. I finally sent an email to the program coordinator again asking if she had any updates or if I should just try scheduling a fill myself and she told me to go ahead. No apologies for sitting on my email for two weeks, nothing saying that she was working on it, NOTHING. I wasted 4 weeks total with her, thinking she would help me get a fill. So today I left a message with the scheduling lady and she hasn't called back yet.

I didn't work out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. To be fair, Friday was a rest day because I just wore my body down too much with my Couch to 5K attempt. Saturday and Sunday it rained, but I should have worked out at home, so that's my fault. Monday it was raining and I had planned to work out in the gym, but I was so tired all day that I just went home. Yesterday it rained but I finally went down to the gym. I did my 15 mins on the bike and did my weights, but I only did about 30 secs on the elliptical before I was too bored. I read somewhere to find an exercise you like or you won't do it, and that's definitely becoming true with the elliptical. I just don't like it, so I have no will to do it.

Today it rained in the morning but finally had a dry afternoon, so I did get my walk in today. I was a little more sore than usual because of my days off, but I survived. It was awesome though, two ladies stopped and asked me how far I went, and I told them 1 mile and back (we were near the mile mark so they knew what I meant), they were all smiles and said "That's so great! Good for you!" It's nice to get encouragement.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow and Friday again, so I'll just have to hit the gym again, no excuses this week. And hopefully I'll get a fill scheduled tomorrow, because she's off Friday so I won't hear from her until Monday at least if she doesn't return my call tomorrow. Ugh.
