Haven't checked in for awhile. Down 140 pounds. Could be better. More exercise is a must. That is not a request for more people to ask me to work out with them. Whenever I have had success working out, it's either been alone or with someone doing the same workout as me. The offers are usually with good intentions though, and I can appreciate that. Just not into hanging out at the typical gym where the mirror watchers and the overly-tanned roam. I'm a wear clothes that fit/farmer's tan kind of guy.

Sometimes I wonder if there is some erosion or slipping of my band. Every few weeks or so I have such pain in my upper band after eating something that didn't agree with me and comes back up. If it keeps happening I will make an appointment. The pain is not pleasant.

Some Uninspiring Truth

So for the past couple of months I've been pretty frustrated with hitting a plateau. Well, as I stepped on the scales this morning the plateau had sadly become a pretty significant slide. 12 lbs gained. It's not entirely unexpected as I have not been doing well with my diet and exercise. It is extremely disappointing. Have now lost 120 pounds and hoped to be well over 150 down by now. Didn't initially want to post this but if I'm going to blog about the experience, I know I need to share all.

Gonna sign off and do a light weight workout. I'm a little down right now. The help the lap band gives me combined with the vision and desire I've had since the beginning is with me all of the time. The discipline clearly is not.
