Ok well today is going quite good thankfully. I woke up, took my Wellbutrin and did some dishes. I then had my morning protein shake which will keep me going until lunch. I had a rough day yesterday food wise. It was a good day food wise, but everything kept getting stuck and I was PB’ing all evening. I tried to have some Mrs. Grass’ noodle soup for lunch for the first time since banding and it didn’t work out at all. After the first 3 bites I was in pain. This is very odd since normally I handle pasta very well. The other day I had some angel hair pasta at our local favorite (Salvatore Scallopini) and it went down fine. The noodles in the noodle soup are quite small, so I don’t know what the issue was.

I plan on going to the Y in just a little bit for an hour long workout, then I will bring the kids home for their nap and I may take one myself. Then I will go out to lunch with my mommy and sister. If we go to another local favorite (Arthur’s) then I will have spinach pie, and I have no idea how many calories are in it. If we go to Big Boy I will have the soup & salad bar. Who knows what i’ll get if I go anywhere else. I kind of have a set few places that i’m actually able to eat at.

Well i’ve gotten rid of that evil invention called a scale. Things have been playing heck with me lately. I decided that i’d go on Wellbutrin & Meridia at the same time since I had some previous Meridia left over from my pre-band days. That worked soooooooo well, and then I told my doctor about it and she was like… “I think that’s just too much” referring to the amount of drugs I was on. It worked, then I ran out of it, and started eating like crazy.

Today was the beginning again, and I started off my morning by going to the YMCA and doing 20 minutes on the treadmill and some weight lifting. I was there almost an hour. I’m not going to look at the scale for a long time. I want to feel the weight loss and not judge it by what a scale says.

We have eaten out a tremendous amount in the last month. That stopped two days ago, and I will cook dinner every night.

With my new blog I intend on posting my favorite receipes, and new recipies that I tried and taste good. I will post pictures with them as well.

As far as my education goes, things are going ok in that department. I’m doing well so far in my classes, and i’m half-way done with them now.
