I have busy, busy with nothing really fun, but thought I'd do a quick update - bullet style.
- I am about 10 pounds up from my lowest weight. I am not happy, but I know there are several reasons for it. I'm self medicating with food and I'm WAY too tight.
- My work environment sucks - it is really a struggle to go into work everyday. I've never loved my current job, but since the software company I work for was sold by U*P*S to a private investment firm last year things have gotten progressively worse. I am starting to actively look for something else. The depression about work definitely has lead to stress eating.
- I have to make an appointment to get a little fluid taken out of my band. I've haven't had a fill or unfill in over 2 years, but it's gotten too difficult to eat anything solid proteins without pain. I know if I call and say I need an unfill asap my Dr. will take out all my fluid and then make me get an upper GI. So to avoid all that I'm going to make an appointment, mention I need an adjustment and also get an upper GI before the appointment so we can make sure things are good.
- Once I can eat more I want to up my fruits and veggies. I really want to get more in my diet.
- I bought some liquid vitamins at Costco. They are reViva brand. Has anyone ever tried them? I know I need them, so I hope I do better than I have in the past taking them.
- I joined a challenge on a running blog. It's not running based just weight loss. It's Lose a Marathon - the goal is to lose 26 or 13 pounds by September. Not sure I'm 100%, but it may help focus on my weight. You can still sign up if you're interested: http://www.runwithjess.com/2012/06/quest-to-lose-marathon.html#comment-form
- We're going to see Brave this weekend, it looks fun. It will be a nice family activity.
Have a good weekend everyone!!!

I like Reviva. The kind I got had a blueberry taste. I stopped using it after a while because I liked the chewy vitamins better, but it was good post-op when I was too scared for chewables. Not bad flavor either, though :)
Hey, Linda. I hope things change with your work situation. That has been going on so long. I know you have mentioned it more than once. It really sounds like a not-fun place to spend each day...miserable, in fact. I really want you to get a job you love and look forward to going to everyday. I hope you find one like that. Please keep us updated on the search.
Fingers crossed that you find a solution to your job woes.
I can relate to your comment about fruits and veggies--after getting my unfill a few weeks ago, I spent the next two days eating nothing but salads and snacking on peaches/watermelon/grapes & pretty much any other fruit I could get my hands on!
You have inspired my next post! As you have so regularly inspired me time and time again! And I worship you!
Keep up the hard work. One thing I’ve found to be extremely helpful and useful as a supplement to my current diet/exercise plan is Fullbar (www.fullbar.com). Not only do their products help you lose weight, they also help you maintain your weight loss.
