As I sit here sipping on my protein shake, my thoughts go back to days of hamburgers, fries and REAL milk shakes. Those days seem so long ago. Food has such a different meaning now. Believe me, I have been fighting against that new meaning. I have recently noticed my portions getting bigger, my snacks getting more frequent and not so healthy. I work out less frequently and I am VERY interested in sleeping. I recently found myself in a new phase of this new life. It's called apathy and let me tell you...it is not fun.
Now, don't worry...I am not giving up this "fight." I just needed to regain focus and I feel like I have. I went into the doctor and had my second adjustment to my lapband. It went very smooth and painless...unlike last time. I have a new focus now and feel like I am can proceed in a way that I am supposed to and that will give me the best results. I have officially lost 45 lbs , 3 pant sizes and 4 shirt sizes...and it feels amazing!! Sorry...no pictures. I know, I know...I'll try and get one soon.
I also want to thank everyone for the overwhelming support. It has been the best feeling to know that I don't have to do this alone. Thanks to all of you for making this just a little bit easier.

You look wonderful and more importantly you sound really happy! Good Luck with everything and the napping may be low iron, I would have it checked, it is really easy to correct if you catch it early.
Jen, how rude of you to not tell me you had a blog after you've been reading mine for months! j/k You look really great. Congratulations!
Do you like your protein shake? My fav brand is Dymatize, Ultimate Whey. You can get it on bodybuilding.com. The chocolate mint is the best flavor!
