Sorry I've been MIA...AGAIN....

Well, it's been so crazy and I've been out of town also.... I have not been at the gym since 4/13.... so I'm still only at 1056 minutes of my 2,000 goal for April. I have another busy week coming up, but I'm going to try and make it to the gym a few days this week.

Again, I'm not going to even TRY to log all the food. I will have a tiny tiny fill of .10 cc on Wed, 4/23.

We now have mutual expectance (subject to inspection) on a townhouse!! We are soooo excited... it will be nice to get this all done!! Closing is planned for May 29th and moving the weekend of June 13th. We will go from a 1 bed, 1 bath, 620 square feet into a 3 bed, 2 bath, garage just under 1700 square feet!! So, I'll be packing the next few weeks between traveling. We will be out of town the weekends of May 3rd, May 16th, & May 23rd!

Sorry I've been MIA...but man oh man I've been busy!!

As of Friday (4/11), I had worked out 761 minutes of my 2,000 goal for April...and as of today (4/13), I'm at 1056.

I'm not going to even TRY to log all the food, exercise etc for the last 9 days that I missed... I've had some challenges with the band (adjustment/fill/unfill wise) and as of NOW, I can eat WAY MORE then I'm comfortable with...and KNOWING I CAN is the hardest part. I will have a tiny tiny fill of .10 cc on Wed, 4/23 giving me time to heel from being too tight after my last fill 4/7 and unfill 4/8.

Anyway...our spare time has been spent on condo/house/townhouse shopping, I can't believe how much time it can eat up! between work, the gym and that.... we have NO spare time.

I'm still loving my band and learning that just the slightest fill can do amazing things, both good and bad.... so take it slow!!

Be sure to check out my NEWEST pic too.... another full body of me wearing jeans for the first time in YEARS...and feeling pretty darn good in them too!!
