This band thing is SO working!!!! I'm so grateful that I had Lap Band Surgery. I'm not just saying that because everything has been perfect, because it hasn't. But I mean, I'm just SO happy. I noticed the strangest thing today while I was racing across the parking lot to my car...I wasn't out of breath!!! I had to test this theory, on my way to my doctor's office this afternoon, I decided to time how long it would take me to walk to my car. I took off walking, trying to see just how fast I could go!!! Next thing I know, a crazy thought crossed my mind, see if you could run..And I'll be dang on, if my feet didn't pick themselves up, and start running. I'm not saying it was a running like for a marathon, but, there was definitely some jogging going on!!!! I had to congratulate my feet, because surely, I didn't believe it could be done!!!
This weekend we had a cookout!!! With chicken, and steak, and hot dogs... For as long as I can remember, I've had a strange obsession about grilled hot dogs/hot links (for my Chicago people!!!), to the point that I don't think a cookout is a cookout without them. I remember growing up, and my mother and I would eat hot dog, just because..There didn't need to be a special occasion, just needed to be hungry!!! Well, at this cookout, I was able to eat a couple of chicken and grilled vegetable sh-Kai-bobs, ( I know that's spelled completely wrong, but you know what I mean!!!) , a ear of grilled corn of the cob ( Laura did the fool with the sweet corn), a grilled hot dog, and a small piece of steak. I know, I know, sounds like a lot of food. But I really wasn't, I made sure I chewed my food really well. I took my time, and when I was done eating, whatever food was left on my plate, went to John...(Again, I know...I have to stop treating him like my human disposal..)
But I was able to eat, I was able to feel like a normal person..Although with limitations, I was able to eat.
