So, I was a tad nervous about the 4th seeing as how it is one of the biggest drinking holiday’s of the year in Swampscott and I haven’t had a drink in almost 4 months! Not only was I nervous about how the drink would affect me but also, what was I going to drink with this lap band!! Someone mentioned Smirnoff’s Lemoncello (sp?), so I thought I woudl try it. It went down great! and it was nice to have a little adult beverage after such a long hiatus. I consumed three beverages..but it was the last one that did me in. I think I had a little more than 8oz in one hour..and it was just too much liquid in my belly. In terms of food I did good too. My mother-in-law made me some pulled bbq chicken and I had my fruit cups. I did have 1/2 cup of potato salad and 1/2 cup of pasta salad but that is the beauty of the band – I can do that if I want to. So, I made it an all was well.
I also realized that I need to get my but to the gym to make this work. I went last Friday and that got me motivated I think because I got up at 6am this morning and went to the gym! ME! The queen of sleep got up early. On the flip side it is only 4pm and I could take a nap at my desk right now!
