Well, I've been kinda in a slump with my weight loss. As most of you know, I have had a Lap-Band surgery, it has been wonderful and I have lost about 100lbs with it. It's a great way to help control portion sizes and not to feel hungry all the time.
Lately, I have been stressed... so as a creature of habit, I turned to my fail-safe... Food. I have been eating things that are horrible for me, and not only that, I've been over eating a lot too. Well, needless to say, I was hurting myself physically and mentally. Not only have I gained a little weight back on, I have been stretching out my stomach.
About 2 weeks ago I decided enough was enough, and I started looking for ways that I would be held accountable for what I put in my mouth and how much. I ended up joining Weight Watchers for the 2nd or 3rd time in my life.
This time seems like it's a lot easier to follow. I don't feel hungry after I eat what's alloted, and usually I have a lot of points left over that I could eat at the end of the day. It makes me eat a lot more fruit and vegetables and be very conscious of portion sizes and caloric/fat contents.
We will see how much this helps me, and if it can help me lose the last 60-70lbs that I feel needs to go bye bye. Keep your fingers crossed and junk food out of my way! Trudging on to the future I go!

The Honda Fit...
Well, I know in my New Year's Goals I said that my plan was to sell a car before I bought a new one. But I sold the Blazer a couple of days after... so I figure that was close enough.
Well, in the midst of high gas prices we are left with a decision... that is to A) pay the enormous gas bills and let the Saudi's get fat in their mansions or 2) Get gas saving cars to tool around in.
I chose #2, the Honda Fit is a cool little car. It's a 4 door, so I have a back seat and there is a decent sized trunk/cargo area. It gets about 28 +/- MPG in town and about 35 MPG on the highway. The Fit is a little taller of a car than the Civic so I "fit" into it better. HAHA! If the interior was the same size I would have spent a little more and got a Civic Hybrid... but the head room is a issue there.
The Fit is getting a remote start alarm put on it as we speak, so it will be cool in the summer months when I get ready to leave places. It's a black car, so it is pretty hot when you get into it right now.
I'm still working on selling the Evo and possibly the Supra, but I'm only going to sell the Supra only if I ABSOLUTELY have to. I want to be down to 2-3 cars by the end of the summer. We will see.
