My band is playing games with my head. As far as I know, I have less fluid in my band right now than I've had in ages. I've even gained afew pounds, despite efforts to sidestep sliders and stick with lean protein. And exercise a lot.
Last night wasn't a great eating night: I met a friend for dinner and ended up having lobster risotto. Went down fine.
This morning, I had a cheese stick wrapped with a slice of turkey and could only eat two bites before I had to stop. Tonight, I made roasted shrimp over spinach and had to stop after two shrimp. I know shrimp can be tricky with a band, but guess what: MY BAND HAS LESS FLUID THAN IT'S HAD IN AGES.
It's just weird.
In other, happier, news, I'm kicking ass with the workouts. Went to an interval training class today and I'm feeling it. That's my fourth workout this week. Yay for that.
Yay for the exercise! I have to admit, I do not miss the finickyess of my band! I have the same exact restriction no matter what time of month, flying, stress, whatever. It doesn't fluctuate. I'm sorry that you are still having the issues even with fluid out!
ReplyDeleteGreat working out!!! I totally get it when you talk about a mercurial band. What the hell? Anyway: we'll continue until we get there... yes? Yes!
ReplyDeleteGood job with the work outs. My band does that to. Sometimes I can eat anything and others a few bites and it is done. I still love it though.
ReplyDeleteI can't even express how proud of you (and JEALOUS!!!) I am about your workout prowess! I need to find that girl who was loving the BodyPump classes and forgoing the wine. Because tonight wine won. Oh yes it did. Tonight, Valpolicella and I are as one...and he is a heady lover! Wheee!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that 8 wings can contain over 1000 calories??? That is crazy! I mean come ON! Why? Wings are so effing good! So are shrimp. But shrimp have NO calories!! NONE! Sometimes? On weeks when I do good? It's because of shrimp. Shrimp is the best ever! Mmmmmm...shrimp....
I know people complain about being too tight and the idea terrifies me but I really wish I could eat 3 shrimp and feel full. I mean...it seems mine is just wide open these days.
ReplyDeleteYAY for that INDEED! I'm ubber proud of you!
ReplyDeleteTx for the protein advice, band sista. Let's turn a corner together-- we can do this and WE WON'T GIVE UP! Right? Right.
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses ... V
I can only eat three shrimp as well, but I am satisfied with that. I am not hungry so I guess that is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGreat workout commitment you have going on that is great!
SO AWESOME on the workouts!! That is really fantastic! :) :)
