Had a blast in Toronto (with many consequences)

This weekend made me realize that having the lapband may create some challenges in my life, but nothing compares to the challenges of traveling when you are overweight!  

I was so uncomfortable on the plane, in the restaurants and even shopping!!!  I was exhausted after 3 hours in the mall with huge back pains.  I just crashed when I got back to the room.  I was also very uncomfortable at the Blue Jayz game.   So sad cause I loved it, but my butt was very hurting!!!!!

One good thing is that I mentally rehearsed where I was going to buy new clothes on my next trip to reward my new body and mind.   I love LOVE love the store JACOB.  I can't wait to just walk in and buy whatever I want.  It's going to be SO rewarding.

Cheers to our new lives!!!!!!    (that's water)

I am so glad you had a great trip. I know what you mean by the plane being uncomfortable. For years I wouldn't ask for a belt extender because I was embarrassed. I would tuck the belt under my belly & being so slim the stew couldn't tell it wasn't latched at all.  
I have been able to be so much more active with only having lost 36 pounds. This morning I did 25 minutes of step aerobics on the Wii before doing 10 minutes of balance games. I was just starting to sweat on the 5th round of  stepping. When I bought the Wii, one aerobic game would wipe me out. I can work in the yard for hours now too.
I have been very badly behaved the last 8 days, but luckily the consequences on the scale have been minimal. I am going to put my foot down today; it makes me wonder if I wasn't eating enough when I was being good.  Restriction has all but disappeared. So today I am going to be very strict with myself....follow all the rules....
