But I digress. So I'm doing my spin class this morning, and I feel aweful.. like I can't breath. Around me all the windows are fogging up and I realise that there is no airconditioning working!! No wonder I'm having wipe my face every 30 seconds! I walked out of that class sopping wet from sweat.. but I didn't feel like I'd done a good work out because I couldn't breath properly. I felt like I was breathing in other peoples carbon dioxide...I felt quite ill actually. Still, Mr HR Polar Monitor said that I had burnt 550 cals so I must of done something right.
I had an amazing salad for lunch - baby spinach, tomato, capsicum, olives, fetta, 1 egg and balsamic vinegar.... delish, but filled a pretty big bowl which I got down easily. I felt so healthy eating it! I'm going to make the same salad tomorrow but this time, have it with some tuna. Tonight is baked atlantic salmon with a coriander pesto dressing and some steamed zucchini and broccoli. How delish does that sound?!?!
Having some family dramas at the moment which I won't go into, except that they are making me sad. But not emotional eating because of it, which is a good thing... I seem to vent to my girlfriends which seem to help!
Plan to go to the gym tomorrow morning, early... and tomorrow night I'm going out to Tenpenyaki with a girlfriend which should be fun!
Hope all is well in your world!

Glad you put photos up!! Well done!! Its weird to see the photos of yourself though isnt it? Or is that just me? I cannot comprehend the change in myself.
That salad rocked! Kudos!
Hi LBG,
I came across your blog today for the first time because I googled "lap band blogs." I have a consultation appointment next Wednesday that I'm nervous about and wanted to read about life with a band.
I only got through March 07 in your blogs(lol) but I plan to keep reading. Thanks for keeping such a through record. It will definitely help me and others see what we're in for...
one question. I didn't see anything about having to pass a psych test. Here in Colorado it's a big part ofgetting approved. I happen to think I'm fairly sane, but my doc said many people don't pass. Did you have one? What was it like? If not, have any of your readers gone through the psych test?
thanks!
