First up... soooo sorry for being a bad blogger. The days are just flying by and I'm not getting the chance to sit for a good run and write a post.
To be honest, life is quite boring. Just work and the usual happening. I guess the big thing is I'm so NOT focused on my weight, just living life so thats got to be good. The last fill I had has worked wonders. I have lost a kilo since. And it's been easy. I'm just not hungry. Yay for that. In fact I have to push myself to remember to eat... like huh?? I'm serious my friends. I don't have breakfast as I just can't face anything (though I might grab a banana on the way out of the door) and then I just eat small meals throughout the day. It's getting me by famously.
Right now I'm sitting on and around 158 pounds or in kilo terms thats around 72 kilos. I seem to float two pounds either side anywhere between 158 pounds to 160. I feel strong and relatively light. (Does anyone notice I overshot my original weight goal of 73.3? lol) Since I'm SO DAMN CLOSE to hitting the 60's in the kilos on the scale I don't know whether I should push myself just that bit harder or to be satisfied where I am. I am happy here at this weight but that 69 kilos is so tantalising close. I NEVER EVER would have thought I could be this low in weight. It's mind blowing. But I also know, that although it's only 2 odd kilos away that is going to be hard to move. Really hard.
Actually it was a little strange. I hadn't shared with MOTH (Man of the House) that I had lost any more weight. Mostly because I thought I had finished with losing weight and this was just a bonus, and because now, for some reason, it's no big deal when I lose just that little bit more. I notice it in my clothes thats for sure - but HE noticed and asked me if I had lost some more. I said, "Yeah, I have dropped another kilo since the fill I had put in." He answered it was really noticeable. So there proves a theory. If my man (who's not the most observant male on the planet sometimes) notices a weight loss, it proves that the smaller we are, the more noticeable a small drop is.
I hope you're all keeping well. I have managed to get to a few blogs in the past few hours and will keep reading to catch up.
Be good,
Stay safe,
Till next time,

Good for you, Cara! It always means more to me when my husband notices a difference too.
ReplyDeleteYou are remarkable Cara and still going strong as my inspiration in this journey!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the smaller you are, the more the weight loss shows. No one even noticed me losing anything initially until I was somewhere around 25 or 30 pounds down. Now, it seems like someone notices every pound....and people seem to think I lose weight even when I don't too! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are living life!
OMG so jealous about that perfect fill! You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic, Cara! Congratulations on overshooting your goal!! You look absolutely wonderful and I am so glad to hear that all is running smoothly! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI'd always get mad at skinny chics when they said they had to lose a few pounds, but you are too darn sweet to get mad at. I'm so glad you are in such a great spot weight wise and God bless your hubby for still noticing your weight loss.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see how relaxed you are about wt ls! You're a model for healthy, balanced living with the band and that's cool. Also I guess we burn up so much mental energy in the beginning being banded that it can't be sustained for ever, so no worries about not blogging!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you getting to 69 kilos and since the wt ls has occurred naturally on it's own, I'd say: don't sweat it much either way. If you're meant to lose more you will, naturally, and if not, if you settle there then that will be okay, too.But I just think you deserve a break from really pushing for wt ls.
Also, thanks for your comment on my blog. I started off thinking it would be about my passport photo oddly enough and the words just poured out :-)
It's great to have a loss noticed by someone else...regardless of how small!
ReplyDeleteGo for the 60;s...why not! :) You are right...the smaller the more you notice. Now I understand when my skinny friends used to moan about putting on weight when they had only gained 1kg or somthing....because you notice 1kg when you are small like you might notice 20kgs when you are large!
ReplyDeleteI think that's wonderful, you are such and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWell hello-glad to see you pop on for a post. I know the crazy living life thing..My lazy days of summer are starting to go away and the work monkey is climbing back on my back.
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the food and weight-loss thing...I think I need a fill but who knows...it gets so much harder to decide down here near goal.
Happy spring (Fall for me...I think we will need another picture swap soon)
Good hear that things are going well.
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear such a positive blog and that you are at a good place with your fill! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteLove ya doll!
