Workout #1 = CHECK!

And, it wasn't as hard as I expected. I was dreading going. In fact, I ran out of the office at 5:15 knowing that if I didn't I wouldn't go. I got to the gym, changed and set off on day one of the 5k program. I completed it, and 35 minutes later had a check mark next to workout number one. 


I ate well today. Ate all of my points. Snacks were fruit, cucumbers/hummus and a zone bar. Yogurt and fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch, turkey burger sans bun and salad for dinner.


So...some of your questions answered. 


Sherry - I completely hear you. When I got banded I thought I'll never have to "diet" again. Never have to think about it because I can eat whatever I want, this band thing will help with moderation. At the end of the day, I wasn't eating a ton of food to gain some of this weight back. I was eating the wrong foods. Quesadillas with sour cream and quac, chips, fatty foods. Doing WW isn't so much about a diet for me, but a way to get the right foods in me. Foods to fuel me rather than make me feel like crap! I also hear you on the looseness of my band. Prior to Xmas, I was getting stuck often after not having gotten stuck in a while. Since Xmas I haven't been stuck once and am hungry. I plan to make an appointment tomorrow for an esophogram and a fill. I am truly interested to see where my band is from a tightness perspective. p.s. I miss you!! My sister from afar. ;-)


Amy - Two pictures included below. The first is Dan and I about three weeks ago. We look rosy...I think that's happiness. ;-) The second is his abs...

Okay...I'm kidding, that's actually a celebrity's abs. AS IF I'm actually going to put a half naked picture of my boyfriend on the internet. ;-) I will admit though, his body does look strikingly similar to this. 


One more thing...a reminder for you and me of where I started. I think this is helpful every once in a while.

Still more work to do, but I've got a really good start!
