Happy Friday and Spin Class for all!

As my Italian Nonna used to say: "Oy Vey" (ok, she had a lot of Jewish friends!) I finally got up the nerve to do a spin class last night and man oh man, is my ass killing me this morning! I did my regular 1/2 hr training with my trainer and we were talking about it as she was teaching the spin class immediately following our time. She talked me into it! So I went and for 45 minutes I can honestly say I never stopped pedeling and I even stood up about 1/2 the times that she said to! All in all, it was the most intense 45 minutes of Cardio I have ever done and it really felt good. Than..not so much now! I will be heading to Sports Authority this weekend to invest in a very padded pair of bike shorts!

On the band front, since my unfill, my dear friend "the scale" has gone up 6 lbs but as of this morning, its only up 4 lbs since the unfill. My head says that the 6 lbs I lost during the week of not even being able to drink liquids wasn't real. I was so dehydrated so that when I started to eat/drink again, my body became a sponge and is holding onto everything that goes down! My heart says...phooey! Very discouraging but I go on.

I have been exercising like a demon this week and I am so sore so maybe, just maybe, by Sunday, my day that I track my weight, I will be rewarded. I am going to the Doc on Wed to go over the results of my Upper GI that I took on Tues. He called and said everything sounds like its fine based on the Radiologists report but he still wants to see the CD that they gave me. I looked at it and I have to tell you, my upper pouch looks big but I really don't know what I am looking out and how magnified the picture is so I will have to wait for the Doctor to look and tell me his opinion. I keep fearing that with all the PB'ing I was doing I dilated the pouch. We'll see. He didn't think that was the case so I am praying he knows what he's talking about.

All I know is, when he took out the 1 cc of fluid, I was able to eat again and it was heaven. The problem now is, the level of restriction I have is 0. None. The amount of fluid in my band is exactly what I had after my first fill and that was the same, no restriction at all. I think I need to be brought up the the level of my second fill to get results again.

I am off to work now and will pop back in tonight after my step class to check out Draz's BYOC. Have a great day my lovely ladies (and Andrew too!).
