LIFE.. aint it a kicker!!

I have to say I really don't have any earth shaking band news to report.. things are going along  just fine.
I love my band..I love where I am with my restriction..and as I have said before, it took me nearly a year to reach this point, but I am glad I am there.  I keep reminding myself that my surgeon said to give my entire weight loss two full years to realize..

I have been buying a few things for fall/winter.  I don't want to get crazy with updating, but I do get so bored with my wardrobe, if I can't change things up.  I am a bit CHICO addicted. those damn commercials suck me in..
I do have my eye on a coat at Blue Duck but will restrain myself. 

As for the rest of my life.. well work has been a hell hole..
Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but boy the financial pressures are UNREAL.
The only pat on the back I will give myself is that I am doing much better with stress management.

But truth be told, the band plays into this as well. I mean there is only so much you can shove in that little pouch without puking.. and quite frankly, puking is not my favorite thing to do.

So, its a trade off..
I have convinced myself that when I am at work and the shit storm starts up and I feel the need to consume something, I am making a cup of herbal tea (sounds dumb doesn't it).. but the hot tea fills me and soothes me.

So for my Philly Girls.. keep those fingers crossed.. we got a chance to pull out of the NLCS .. but damn that Giants team is good..

Have a great weekend..

  2. Agree-no puking. Maybe I should try the herbal tea. I usually go for a steamed vanilla milk from Starbucks. Soothes the soul and I can make it at home (I bought their sugar free syrup). Our little band is so worth it, although I am not on speaking terms with mine right now. It can't decide if it wants to be tight or loose. So sip away dear friend.

  6. Did I tell you how much I love your new profile pic? Well, if not, I do!

    Puking is not so much in my top ten either so I hear ya. I got stuck once at Disney and puked into a pile of paper towels because there was no way I was doing it into the bowl if you know what I mean!

  8. The herbal tea idea is not dumb. It's great that you're finding ways to ease stress without eating. That is definitely progress!
