the "E" word...

EXERCISE!

I had a great visit with the nutritionist today. When I weighed in their scale said 230.5!!! I told Melanie I thought the scale was off since I weighed 233.5 at home this morning. She said she didn't think so. Interesting, I hope my scale is that low tomorrow! I've lost 12 lbs since last time I was there, about a month or so ago. She said I am doing well with my eating and portions and now I just need to add exercise to maintain the rate of loss. I go back for another visit with Neil the exercise guy in just two weeks so I'll have to step it up now and really make it a priority. My homework is to log my exercise. I have my ipod charging so I can to the C25K starting tomorrow. In about 1 month I will meet with Melanie the nutritionist. She doesn't seem to think I'll need a fill anytime soon and I think I agree for now. I think I am pretty close to the sweet spot. Melanie mentioned I am lucky to have such good restriction with so little fluid in my band (only 2.6cc in a 10cc band). Some people on the support boards have posted that it took 4, or 6 or even more fills to get restriction... yikes- what a relief I haven't had that problem.

Overall I have to say it was a great day. I really really hope I am really at 230 right now. I was definitely hoping for the 220's by October... just one step closer... one-derland here I come! :) Yipppeeeeee!!
