Fall Has Arrived

We finally have a real fall day today! We took the kids and our nephew to the Bronx Zoo this morning, and it was cold enough that we had to wear jackets. Fall is my absolute favorite season, so I am completely excited about this. Plus, I walked around for two hours so I got some exercise.

The scale is inching downward again since my fill on Thursday, but I'll be interested to see whether it keeps moving. I'm not back down to my most recent low yet, so I'm not in new territory now.

My weight was holding steady at 5.5 cc's but the band was way too tight at 5.75. My surgeon tells me he doesn't like to go in increments smaller than 0.25 cc's for fills, which doesn't make much sense to me. The Hubs says if this fill doesn't quite get me over the hump I should just go in and ask him for 0.1 cc's and say I feel very strongly that he should at least try it. I think the Hubs is probably right. We'll see. I go back in a month.

I have to say, though, it is bliss to not be overly tight. We went to an Indian restaurant last night with some friends, and it was lovely to not worry about whether I'd spend half the night in the bathroom. I had one bite of each of the four appetizers we ordered and about 1/3 of my halibut. No naan for this girl, but it was a great dinner and I was able to relax and enjoy it. Plus, we found street parking in New York City on a Saturday night, which is like winning the lottery.
