It is 3:30am, and I am at work. Tired and cranky, again!
Today is Halloween and we plan on taking the kids Trick-0r-Treating this evening around 6pm. I have told myself that the kids can have the candy for the weekend, then it is OUT of the house. I might be willing to keep the smarties for the kids lunch, but that is about it.
I am finally starting to feel better. I have 2 or 3 days left of my antibiotics and I am done with the steroids. Breathing is unlabored now. I guess that means I need to get my butt moving again!
I went for another fill last week. She put another .5 cc's in. I am at a good restriction. I really don't think I need any more fluid, just need to make good choices! Protein, Protein, Protein!
The scales are moving again. I am down 71 lbs as of this morning. Not bad for 7.5 months! I am loving the way clothes are fitting now! I am wearing size 17 jeans and they are not even a bit tight! Yipee!
I better get off of the computer now and get back to work. Hope all is well with everyone!

I'm Still Breathing
Hey there! I am here...still breathing--barely! This virus has officially kick my butt to the curb! I went back to the doctor on Monday, and she gave me a breathing treatment in the office. I was not moving air in my lower lobes. She also put me on an antibiotic to cover pneumonia, a steroid pack, and a new steroid inhaler! Yippee! Bring on the increased appetite and "roid rage" from the steroids! They should have me looking nice and round by Halloween. I guess I won't need a costume; I will go as a pumpkin!
I am going to see Dr. Choban this afternoon. I am going to fill her in on all of the deep wrenching coughing I have been doing. I am hoping she is going to tell me that there has not been any damage to the band. That would be the last thing I need...it would put me over the edge!
If this post sounds depressing, it is because I am. I can't exercise, I get winded talking, I feel like crap, and I have been eating like crap, too!
Oh, and one of my best friend's husband had a heart attack on Saturday. His main vessel is 100% blocked, he is in CHF and his heart is only working at 10%! Pretty sucky for a 49yr old with 5 kids at home, ages 17 to 3!
I guess that is enough cranking for now. I will update later.

Still Here
I am still here, still pluggin' away at this weight loss thang! My last weigh in was Monday, and I was down 64.2 lbs. I know in my head I need to be thankful for this, especially since I have not been the best bandster lately!
Halloween candy is killing me! I need to get it out of my house! We went camping last weekend and the kids went Trick or Treating. I told myself I was going to use the candy to pass out on the 31st, but the stash is slowly dwindling! It seems like 2pm brings about a huge chocolate craving and I dive in, head first into the bowl! I hate myself afterwards, and I know that going into the binge, but it doesn't stop me for starting in the first place!
My exercise has been sporadic, too. Our membership has expired, and we are planning on renewing it, but it has not happened. You would think that I would take advantage of the great weather, but I have only done so a few times! I am fighting a cold, and breathing is not exactly easy, so I keep using this as my excuse. How Lame!!!
I am telling myself that I am going to the park this afternoon after I drop Rusty at preschool. I need to do. I owe it to myself to do it! I feel so much better afterwards! I will let you know if it happens!
