I am seriously a bad bad blogger.<br />
<br />
I got so caught up in life and living. I love writing, I love documenting my journey's, but damn, living life is amazing!<br />
<br />
I honestly used to be an awful negative person, always stressing, always worrying, always emotional, and sometimes, down right mean. I LOVE my new life. Honestly, is it perfect? Not at all. I don't want it to be. But I can honestly say, since starting this lap band journey in 2011 (and years before thinking about it, researching it)...that I am a much healthier, happier human being. This is best for everyone involved. I'm positive, I don't give up/in anymore, I try to help others be positive as much as I can, I see the light in most things, it's solidified who I really am. No, I'm not my weight or my looks, BUT going through the whole process, the ups and downs (that continue and will continue), has really made me step back, look deep inside and re-evaluate myself. I still struggle, sure, I always will, but I love the new me. Am I done? NO WAY!<br />
<br />
I haven't blogged since 2013. It's not 2015. Craziness.<br />
<br />
Last time I was on, I was getting married to my love. Well, that happened, Italy happened (he's now just as obsessed as I am). We would love to live there, but it's really not a reality right now. We've just been living life.<br />
<br />
I don't really enjoy my job anymore (Underwriting for insurance). But it is what it is, I honestly don't really know anyone that truly 100% LOVES their job. So I'm okay with that, just keeping my options open.<br />
<br />
I'm still obsessed with the gym and working out. Maybe not as much as I'd like, but I really do enjoy and look forward to working out, dancing, lifting, etc. I was down to 190.2 in May of 2013. I am now at 204.2. Am I okay with this? Not really, will I change it? Yes. I keep floating up and down, up and down. I work my band as much as I can. I have failures, I have successes. I got stagnant and comfortable. I started making horrible eating choices again, not so much in amount, but in types of foods, mostly sliders, drinking with meals, fried foods and processed foods. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth, it's all I crave. That is why I'm changing that, I am finally determined to kick this major habit of mine and learn to say no 80% of the time, rather than 20%. I do well for a few days, then I cave. Repeat. This is why I have gained 14 lbs. since 2013. I really maintained at 195 for over a year, now I've been fluctuating at 198-205. So, I know I can maintain like a boss. haha. I don't want to maintain here though. I'm ready to see the 180's, the 170's, the 160's and maybe the 150's. I truly am. I'm ready to kickstart this again. Did I become 286 lbs. over night? NOPE. I was about 170-230 all throughout middle school and HS. After HS, I stopped dance classes and cheerleading and still continued to eat the same. That's how I got like this. I saw my highest weight in 2008-2009 and that was enough for me. I was so depressed and distraught with myself.<br />
<br />
Add all the other stress in life and I was a mess. My calm? Food. My weakness? Sweets. My lifeline? Food, again.<br />
<br />
I don't want to fall back to this, especially WHAT and HOW much I was eating in one day. It has awakened me. And I know how bad/unhealthy processed food is, but does it stop me? No. I've been incorporating organic items in our foods, and lots of unprocessed things too, more salads, fresh fruits and veggies from the markets. I'm truly looking forward to starting our 21 day sugar detox. I've got pretty much all the information I need. For me, it will be super hard, for my husband, maybe not as much. His will be the alcohol and simple carbs. For me, the sweet stuff, the chocolate, the cake, cookies, ice cream, added sugars, etc. What we don't finish up in our pantry/freezer/fridge in the next 1.5 weeks, will either be tossed or packed up (and well hidden, NOT by me). I personally plan on cutting all sugars for the first time, this means, fruits, gum, protein drinks, protein bars, and of course, all the processed crap.<br />
<br />
I've been slowly starting the past few days. I think diet soda might be the hardest. I did great with no soda for the first like 1.5 years, and all of a sudden, I just starting drinking it again. I would occasionally have a ginger ale for an upset stomach, but lately it's been diet this, diet that. I tried to do a diet green tea with lemon/ginseng, I didn't really grasp onto it. Now I'm back to just my water, protein drinks and hot teas. I had a coke zero yesterday. I have no money with me, so today won't be a problem. We had Arby's the other night, this will stop. We had pizza Sunday, this will also stop.<br />
<br />
I'm ready. I need to do this.<br />
<br />
As far as fills go. I had a slight unfill in November/December, can't remember exactly. I had to go to their other office because it was a last minute appointment. Honestly, since my allergies have been awful (last Spring and haven't stopped since), I've been having major issues with my fills. I was up to like 5.5 and was fine for a while. Then I would get super tight and need an unfill, then I would get super hungry all the time and would be able to eat more than a cup and I would gain or maintain. Ugh! It's been a sick cycle of this for a while now. I'm now down to like 4 cc's. It has allowed different foods back in again (nuts and peanut butters, which I sometimes have issues with). But I think I want another go at a small fill soon. I don't yet. I haven't 100% decided. I have major issues with drainage and nausea that hang out right above the band and cause inflammation. Didn't know this before I got the band, but it's very common and I confirmed that with 2 doctors too. I think I just need to tweak the food choices now and keep up with my exercising and keep adding strength training in more and more.<br />
<br />
That is all for now, I could probably go on and on, but I won't. :)<br />
<br />
Ciao!</div>

Here I am! I am alive, I swear! :)<br />
<br />
I am up about 8-9 lbs. since July, when I was down to 190 lbs. :( I know what I need to do, it's my food and I need to get focused and back on track.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER!! I am getting married in 8 days, craziness! Been planning this for over a year now and it's finally here, it's been a tad stressful, but here we are. I'm still working on some details (mostly the honeymoon), but otherwise, let's roll! I can't wait to marry the love of my life, dance the night away, see close friends/family in one area celebrating us and then head off to Italy for 2 weeks the next evening. Can't wait!!<br />
<br />
That is really all for now. Just busy busy as work, it's stressful there too though, they've laid off 14 people on the other side of things (I happen to not be involved in this particular area, but man, it sucks).<br />
<br />
Off to go watch some shows tonight and relax. Tomorrow is Friday. Gym again after work tomorrow for some zumba, then home for some weights/strength training. I have a feeling this weekend is going to be busy, as well as next week. Ahhh!<br />
<br />

I am a bad bad blogger. Just realized that I haven't blogged since June 17th and so much has been going on. *sigh*<br />
<br />
I have been incredibly busy at work, which is fine by me. I don't like the fact that I only have 1 full day left to use for the rest of the year. Stupid me for using them all up in the first half, minus the 12 days I'm taking for our honeymoon. I could have used a few days off in the past couple weeks, it's been super stressful, mentally and physically.<br />
<br />
Weight wise, not much going on. I have been under 200 and in the 190's since February. I was down to 190.2 for about a week or two. Now I have been floating between 194-197 since. So frustrating and I wish I could stop focusing so much on the number, but I just can't. I feel better, yes, but I know my eating habits could be so much better. I go for a check up next Friday, the 6th, so I might get a teeny tiny fill back in (like .1 or .2). We'll see. My exercise is excellent and I love it, need I say more? I would never have guessed that I would have loved being so active, even if it's just a simple 2-3 mile walk, like tonight.<br />
<br />
THE wedding. Why yes, it's fast approaching (October 12th!!!). Almost a month away, 6 weeks from tomorrow. I can't believe it!! I picked up our marriage license today, yay! I can officially get married now, haha. Had some family drama about 2-3 weeks ago which started a good 2-3 absolutely crazy time for me. About 2-3 days after that drama, I found a lump in my right breast, saw my Dr. the next day. I then scheduled a mammo/ultrasound for the following Tuesday. From the ultrasound, they pretty much said it was 2 small fibroadenomas, I could either wait 2 years to see 'if' it changes or get a biopsy. So, I got the biopsy, this past Monday and I got the results yesterday, BENIGN!! WHEW! HUGE weight lifted from my life right now.<br />
<br />
Then we found out the chair covers we were supposed to borrow were sold (by a friend of a friend), how nice right? So tomorrow we are driving to Lebanon (courtesy of my awesome mom) to pick up ones she found on Craigslist. Hopefully they aren't completely terrible.<br />
<br />
Pretty much all the big stuff is done/ready/paid off. We just owe the photographer half the money (what was left). We owe part of the limo yet and of course, the food. We're still getting RSVP's in, got 7 today, but still missing quite a bit, hoping more come next week (I gave a deadline of September 7th).<br />
<br />
And to continue with the weight part, I had my first dress fitting the day I found my breast lump, should have just cancelled, but I didn't. I put it on, it fit, zipped, etc. BUT it felt a teensy bit tight across my lower hips/stomach. My worst freaking area that I HATE and all my weight seems to congregate there. :( I pretty much freaked out and was depressed for the whole fitting. I didn't have good underwear on, so I invested in some spanx from Kohl's this past weekend, so hopefully that will help suck a teeny bit in and smooth things out. I would KILL for a tummy tuck and arm/thigh lift. :( If only...<br />
<br />
The honeymoon is coming along quite well. We are heading to Italy for 2 weeks and I couldn't be more excited about it. I never thought I would ever make it back, so I am beyond excited to experience it all over again, but with more respect and with my love. :D We have a Traveler's Joy honeymoon registry, which is pretty damn cool. I can choose pre-determined things they have on their site or add my own. I did a few of each and we already got 2 gifts, yay!<br />
<br />
Not much else going on in my life, just working and planning this crazy wedding lol. I just want to enjoy myself and have a good time with my closest peeps.<br />
<br />
I miss blogging, I need to keep up with this.<br />
<br />
Ciao.</div>

I am so ashamed, depressed, disgusted, etc. etc. It's been a really tough 3-4 weeks. Work has been crazy busy and stressful. I ate really bad for about 2 weeks at work, pizza, cake, chocolates, sodas, chips, bagels, etc. I kept telling myself not to, yet I did, over and over, every single day. Just looked on here and saw I was at 190.2, how sad. :( As of my weigh in yesterday, I'm 194. I was even higher, around 195.6.<br />
<br />
I've broken down multiple times in the past week, just getting so overwhelmed lately. I have been doing much better for the past week, so I feel a bit better.<br />
<br />
I'm just so upset with myself for letting myself go. I'm the maid of honor in my bestie's wedding this Saturday, so I was worried about that, but thank god I still fit in the dress, with about 1/2-1 in take in too. But then, last Friday my mom took me shopping and it was absolutely horrendous. I was able to order my long line bra for my wedding dress and a strapless bra for the wedding I'm in this week. BUT we went to Ross and Kohl's and could not find shit. I probably tried on like 30-40 items. I got 2 new pairs of work out pants, that's it. I'm like in between a 14 and 16. Grrr!<br />
<br />
I'm so frustrated and really depressed, which is so unlike me. I have an appointment on July 5th at 1pm, and I plan on getting part of my fill put back in. He took out 3/4 of a CC, but it was just enough that I can eat a cup or more at a time and I get hungry like 2 hours after, sometimes sooner! Insane!! I want at least 1/4 put back in, just hoping it doesn't cause issues again...*sigh*<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I have absolutely NO idea how I lost 4.2 lbs, but I'll roll with it. So weird. I am moving a lot more at work, so that would be part of it, but I only made it to the gym 2-3x last week, took a walk last night. I'm just going to go with it and keep up the good eating, chewing, etc. I am still getting stuck a bit and pb'ing sometimes every day, so I'm going to watch it very closely this week. I think it's my impending period, allergies, weather, but not sure. Or just me. :/ I just don't want to screw this up and I was already through a upper gi/endoscopy in March, so I need to work on this myself.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Got some new clothes and a new bathing suit (a bikini!!!) on Friday with my mom at Target. All clothes came from the normal size section, NO plus sizes at all, didn't even look. Most were XL from the normal section. Yay!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I just can't wait to keep moving down and down. I know my eating could be better, it's def. not at it's best lately. I have been indulging a bit too much on the sweets side. Today I had my interview for a promotion within and was super nervous, in return, ate a shit ton of tootsie rolls (one of my faves!). Ugh! Then I proceeded to have a piece of snickers cheesecake. I also had my lunch (leftovers from dinner the night before). Blah blah blah. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I had some of my pain last night from the bile reflux, grrr! It lasted about 2-3 hours, so I skipped dinner and had an atkins shake instead. And ice cream for a snack. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I also haven't exercised as much as I would have liked this week either, all kinds of crap and interruptions going on. Tomorrow I plan on going hard, hitting up a pyo class at another Y. Friday isn't looking good either, probably going to a happy hour for a guy at work whose last day it is. Grr! I will get my ass out of bed on Saturday for some 9am zumba and then it's off to my bestie's bridal shower! :) </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">:( Didn't lose anything. But I also didn't gain, so that's a win in my book. I didn't exercise as much as I wanted to last week, so I'm pretty sure that's what did it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Just got back from a baby shower, where I didn't exactly eat the best. :/ Tomorrow is a new start. I will be doing yoga at work, then I plan on hitting up zumba at 5:30. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Not much else going on, I have my follow up on Friday, May 3rd with the surgeon. This will be a follow up from when he put me on the protonix and reglan (which I no longer take b/c of a rash). I did have some awful pain this past Thursday (same exact area/kind of pain) for about 8 hours. It was pretty bad. But I suffered through it, so I'm not sure why that happened. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Well, off to go revamp my resume and cover letter for a job opening at my work. Wish me luck!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I've been going up and down for a few weeks now and finally have a loss again, yay! I know what I did right and I know what I did wrong or didn't do at all some days. Moving forward. I can't stop thinking about getting to and savoring the 180's, the 170's, the 160's, the 150's!!! It's on my mind ALL the time. I'm going to keep pushing myself and fighting this awfulness. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">There are some days I see myself and love what I see, and then other days I HATE what I see, feel like I haven't done a lot, etc. I hate these back and forth feelings and visions. I see myself so differently some days. Weird.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">It's Sunday already and I hate that, but it is what it is. I got a part time job working at a Flea Market at one of the concession stands making food, etc. It pays well and it's only Sundays. And I may be going back to babysitting soon too to cover my gym costs, not sure yet. Don't want to get overwhelmed again.</span></div>

Had my follow up appointment with the surgeon almost 2 weeks ago, nothing is wrong with my band, just some bile reflux and I had some food above my band in the Upper GI series (some 10 hours later). Weird. He prescribed Protonix (generic) and Reglan (generic). I started both of those that following day.<br />
<br />
All was well until the following Wednesday (last week) when my poor ears were swollen, red, itchy and bumpy. Awful! I had allergy injections that evening, so I said something to them and they shot me up with some cortisone, it game me some relief Fri/Sat, but that was about it. My rash was now gone on my ears (thank god!), BUT it was now down my back, on my neck/jaw and cheeks. Awful. I finally thought, maybe it's one of the new pills I started. So, I called the surgeon's office and spoke to the nurse, she then spoke with the on site surgeon and he advised it sounded like the Reglan reaction, so I've been off Reglan since Tuesday morning (it was 3x a day before meals). I still have some itchies every now and then, but it does generally seem to slowly be getting better and easier to deal with. I was also having crazy ass dreams and waking up between 2am-4am every single night since. And then taking forever to get back to sleep. I started taking a benadryl before bed this past week. So far, so good, still waking up though.<br />
<br />
I'm starting a new work project tomorrow, I will be working at our other office in Mechanicsburg, rather than New Cumberland 3 days a week. It will be nice to do something different and challenging and learn something new. Plus it's super close to our apartment, a straight shot out the one road. Yay for that!<br />
<br />
I haven't really lost much weight, kind of been bouncing between 197.8-200. Irritating, but I'm working on it. I did have a .3 taken out when I was having issues, but I got .2 put back in and it's definitely a huge difference. Still working on things, still getting stuck occasionally, which I hate and I really need to focus on my soft stop and stop eating when this happens. <br />
<br />
That's all for now, time to work on the bridal shower some more...</div>

I had my Upper GI yesterday. Went pretty well from what I could gather. I got to see a bit of the fluid go through my band, which was neat. The tech said it was functioning well from he could see, but ultimately, it would be up to the surgeon to make that decision. He did see some leftover food debris from when I ate cereal the night before, but not after midmight, it was around 10pm. Weird. But he said they could have my band tightened like that, but that seemed odd to me, we'll see. But he saw no obstructions, so that's good. Plus, I truly believe it's NOT my band, but I'm also not positive, I'm still quite nervous about it and was tearing up about it yesterday. I'm not ready to have anything happen, I'm not ready. I felt very compelled to just cry. I need to start making better food choices, protein first ALL the time, not drinking with meals, etc. I'm still losing, not necessarily every week, but losing nonetheless. I'm down to 197.8 as of last Sunday, hopefully a little more this Sunday.<br />
<br />
Not much else going on, just planning for my bestie's bridal shower and still working on my own wedding as well. We have cake tasting next Saturday!! (aaaah! lol). Our candy buffet (favors) is under way. Working on getting some appointments set up for our mentoring (Catholic and I'm not), still working on my brooch bouquet, hoping to buy and send out save the date's in April, put our pic/info in the newspaper in April/May, hoping to meet up with the Legion's organizer in a month or so, give or take. A lot of stuff going on and picking up. :) Exciting, but nerve wracking as well. <br />
<br />
I'm at work, so I'm going to hop off now. Ciao!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I had my EGD last Wednesday, all went well. He said he saw some bile reflux, but I was still pretty out of it.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I've been having some stomach issues for the past 3 weeks. On and off. Making sure it's not my band. Dr. Rosenberger (surgeon I saw this past Friday) doesn't seem to think so, but we're doing an EGD on March 13th to check. And then a check up on March 22nd. Also, he put me on Protonix for right now. I haven't had time to fill it yet, but I will drop it off tomorrow at the gym. He also took a .3 unfill out. I already feel a ton better, no pb'ing and no indigestion since.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">On another note, my car had some issues this past Wednesday and it proceeded to be my transmission went out. Craziness. Basically, my car is only worth about $1,700 in great shape, the dealer wants $4,400 for it and this VW guy MAY have one for roughly $1,500. Yeah, no thanks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">So, I am now borrowing my dad's car (1992 Ford Taurus), ugh! But it's much better than having to rely on others and messing up my gym schedule. So, I am now independent again. BUT this really puts a damper on things right now. I now have to find another car. My mom works for Maguire's Ford, so she has their top salesman looking for me. I found about 12 on their site, so she's checking tomorrow to see what type of pricing (her discount) she can get for me. *sigh* Really didn't want a car payment right now, but oh well, shit happens.</span></div>

I'm Megan and I ate a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet. That's right, all 1,000 calories of it. Blah! I let me emotions/feelings get the best of me and wasn't paying attention and just sat there and ate the whole entire container. It's NOT okay, but I'm going to move on and do better today. I deserve better. I had a lapse in judgement and I will not buy again.<br />

Having a very rough go at it today. I really do not know when this started, but I'm feeling really down right now. I think it started when I started not feeling well. I don't get sick too often anymore, so I guess that really brings me down. I don't know, it's work too, for sure. I'm starting to really not like working there anymore, I hate the work, I hate some of the people, I hate the drama, the gossip, the nitpicking, the professionalism, etc. I was told something I did today was a "no-no", I think that might have been the push me over the edge point. I lost it internally. I hate confrontation, so I just internalized it. I actually was close to crying today, the tears were in my eyes, that rarely happens anymore...<br />
<br />
I'm in a funk, for sure. Went a bit overboard with food today too, not crazy bad, but bad enough. Luckily, I did yoga at lunch time and that helped a bit. I was supposed to go babysit at the Y tonight, but I didn't, I was absolutely down and out by the time 4:15 rolled around, mentally and physically not good. <br />
<br />
So, here I am. I wasn't sure I was going to write a post tonight, but I couldn't keep it in anymore. I feel so shameful sometimes, if I'm not on my best, if I'm not working out or eating perfectly. I know there's room for error/mistakes/learning new things, but I get so down on myself, but thankfully, I can easily pick myself back up tomorrow. It's a new day and that's just what I will do.<br />
<br />
When things get hard, I notice I tend to start having doubts about other areas in life, or regretting things. Such as school (or lack of), money (or lack of), job, weight, etc. etc.<br />
<br />
I got this. I'm going to keep working hard, fighting my inner demons, moving forward, looking forward to an awesome future filled with love, hope, happiness, ups/downs, laughter, tears, and the list goes on.<br />
<br />

Loving life right now, smiling, laughing, eating better, watching my snacking, working out like a beast. LOVE it! Life is busy, but good.<br />
<br />
Just got done doing our weekly yoga at work for lunch, love it! I feel so amazing afterwards.<br />
<br />
I've had some awesome NSV's lately, just haven't really posted about them yet. Last Saturday, I met up with my maid of honor and her bridesmaids for bridemaids dress shopping. We all ended up trying on the first dress and loving them. Sweet! BUT, I first grabbed an 18 because the lady said grab the size of your pants, so that's what I did, althought some 18's are loose, some are still tight, you never know. However, it was a bit loose. I was able to get on the 16 and it fit and looked fabulous! I had my mom and my MOH almost in tears. I felt so amazing, but a very unreal moment for me, I don't quite feel it yet, but it was an amazing moment. It's definitely motivation to keep doing my best, working hard and living life to the fullest.<br />
<br />
I've been getting compliments left and right at the gym from either random people in zumba and zumba instructors to even more random people in the weights area. I love it, I just smile and say thank you. <br />
<br />
The scale is moving again and I LOVE it. I'm so close to 199 and onederland, I'm getting very anxious about it, so I don't want to screw it up, so I really have to stayed focused from here on out and keep pushing and testing my limits. :)<br />
