New Clothes :)

So, I finally had to go get some new clothes like my hubby was suggesting :) I went to Old Navy and walked out with not one size smaller but TWO sizes smaller! I got two pairs of size 18 jeans! I know size 18 is still huge but considering I started out in 24's, that is great for me! The scale this morning was at 225 so I'm down a total of 29 lbs. I hate my scale by the way. Sometimes it goes up and down depending on where I'm standing on the scale. Like this morning, when my center of gravity was to the back of the scale a little bit it said 223.5. I want a scale that doesn't change its mind no matter how I'm standing lol. I'm doing great with my band. No problems at all. It's like I dont even have it! I have had a few times were I had to wait a minute for the food to pass through but other than that, no problems! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family. I'm so excited for this summer to get there! Hopefully I'll be around 175-180 and feel ok buying a swim suit this year. As I have said before, this year I was so big I had to swim in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt..NOT THIS YEAR! I refuse! I am determined that I will be able to buy a bathing suit and feel confident in it! I'm eating low carb now. Which is really not that hard when you do it for a while. Every once in a while I will eat a little piece of potatoe and on New Year's Eve I had a piece of Sweet Potatoe Pie which was AWESOME lol But carbs are not a part of my daily eating anymore! Like yesterday I had a cup of Cottage cheese for breakfast, Some left over meatloaf, green beans and a very small ceasar salad for lunch and for dinner I had some fish and zuchinni. Today, I had a low carb sausage scrambler from Krystals (love them!) and for lunch I have a grilled chicken ceasar salad and for dinner I have Salmon defrosting in the fridge. Simple. Low Carb. :) The best fish recipe I have found yet is baking Salmon with Dijon mustard on top with a little bit of dill at 375 for about 10-15 minutes until the fish is flaky. That is GOOD! Well, I have to get back to work. We are also in the process of buying me a new car! Whoo hoo! :) Have a great day everyone!
