*Insert Snazzy Title Here*

Today has been kinda blah... Nothing bad has happened. Actually, several good things have happened. Yet, I just feel blah. Just going through the motions of my day. I'd like to say I've at least had some in depth thoughts and prayers - but if I did, it wasn't important enough to recall at this moment. Huh... Makes me sound pretty shallow and air-headed. Ah well.

So this morning was my 5th adjustment, 3rd fill. I now have 5.5cc in my 10cc band. The nurse said it's normal that I felt a lot of restriction in the beginning while still swollen and healing but don't now. I may be 1/2 full but most people don't feel restriction until 5.5-6cc. I really hope I start feeling it soon. Mind over matter is getting more and more difficult every day. I put myself on liquids for a few days last week to jump start smaller portions... didn't work. As soon as I tried regular food again, I was crazy hungry. I am doing better at recognizing why I feel hungry. Needing nutrition versus any other reason. One of the counselors at the clinic said "Food is Fuel". That's my new motto to not give in to eating when I'm not truly hungry. But it's still hard.

The good news - I lost another 7# =) Bringing my total to 43!! Only 7 more to the big 5-0!! I am currently the exact same weight as when I got married almost 3 years ago. I've been thinking of getting my wedding dress out for a fun photo shoot before it becomes too big FOREVER. Looking forward to being smaller than I was pre-wedding!

After writing this blog and sifting through a few wedding photos, I don't feel quite so blah =)
