Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a lovely christmas.
So new year, new me! Resolutions for 2012 are:
Fitness: Swimming and power walk / joggings ( I have bad knees for a 28 year old
so will take it easy to start with) but want to make it a 3 times a week or more affair.
Food: work with my band and don't have slender food (i love muller rice which is a no no as it is a big pot and it slides straight through)
Clothes: would like to wear some dresses and maybe push the boats to wear shorts (summer and winter one) but my main one and it has been a dream of mine pretty much all my life (and I am scared that even though I will be slimmer i won't be able to do it) is to wear boots! Knee high boots or just under, basically anything above the ankle, I take anything!!! I am not fuss
Weight: well I would love to be 11 stone or under by next xmas. Of course would like to be there by summer but don't want to be disapointed. So there it is peeps. What are your goals this year?
Otherwise my holiday wasn't all that I hoped for. Don't get me wrong it was nice nothing dramatic and definitely have an easy life compare to others on here. So I am not complaining but just a gentle moan as I say to my OH. You shoudl see his face when I say that!!! lol
Anyway, holidays: well i was off for nearly two weeks and I came down and heavy with a cold the day before the start of the holiday and felt better the day going back to work which was yesterday
Not fair! I am always ill on hoidays and feel better to go back to work, good little worker that I am (SUCKS!!!) So i arrived at my brothers which i did not see since 3 weeks before my op and my parents which I have not seen since april. I secretaly was very much looking forward to see my mum especially because she does notice when I even put 200 gms on so me loosing 15 kgs I was like yes, mum will notice and be so proud of me (yes I am a sad 28 years old that still mum and dad approvals and ressurance!) Well when i arrived my brother took me aside and went, whoa you lots weight (yeah!! whoup whoup i thought). Well thank you I said (hi hi) but not a word from my mum. Oh well never mind it will come a bit later maybe when we are on our own. Anyway that evening it was my brother's 40th so had a party. Had a small glass of champagne felt a bit tipsy but not too bad. Anyway my OH was with my dad at the buffet table and my mum came close to me (I was yes this is the moment she is going to say that i look good i have lots weight etc....) so she says "Has Dan lost weight?" Has he lost weight!!!!!!!!!!!! i mini screamed WHAT THE.... you are kidding me right? Mum looked at me surprised. I said no and I am making sure of it (I want to be slimmer than him by valentines day fingers cross). My OH looked at me with compassion bless him. he knew how much i was waiting for that moment but could not help smilling at the compliment (no grudges, he just slept on the floor that night!! Only joking
) So I turned to my mum and said, no he hasn't but i have lots over 10kgs thanks for noticing! She was really? I was, are you kidding me, you notice when I put 200 gms on but don't when I loose 10kgs!!!??? She apologied and to be honest the day after we looked at some photos they took when i last saw them and she said yes now I can see a real difference!
(about time i thought smilling from ears to ears!)
So that was that really. New Years eve was quiet, I really don't like that night! Never managed to have a good time, I guess it's because of the build up and really it is only another night!
Anyway, I was still very much looking forward to closing 2011 and with that my life of struggling with weight! and embrace 2012 and I feel for the first time,I can do this, I can loose the weight BUT keep it off, for the first time EVER and wave goodbye once and for all to yo yo! yeah
So what's next? Well I have my second fill on 21st January and I cannot wait. Even though I have 5ml in 10ml, in all honesty I don't have restriction. I have had any since 4 weeks post op.... So really looking forward to have that feeling again to be full on a 1/4 of a jacket potato and not waffle the lot down! So today I am just over 13.5 stones and cannot wait to see 12's and less.
To a great 2012 everyone, together we can do it, together we WILL do it and don't be strangers. Banders are so under represented on here and we really need to support each other
Let's do it, come on
