Where is the Weight Loss?

Sorry, Sorry that I have not been blogging, but I have been trying to adjust to my lap band. In the beginning I lost a total of twenty pounds, but currently my weight is staying the same, and I am not dropping like I was in the beginning. I know that I am eating better, because I am watching everything that I eat, and I am trying to make sure that I don't drink any coke, or eat any bread. Wow! I can't believe that I have not had coke since September 30, 2008. It has been water and Crystal Light for me. Next week, I am going to start to walk and move around again. Here is a photo of me twenty pounds lighter!

Where is Elisia

Wow! I can't beleive that I have been out of site! As if you did not know, I recenlty had lapband surgery and I had to adjust to so many new things to eat. I am so afraid that I am going to gain the weight back, that I have been eating like a bird. So on Wednesday, I got over finally the liquid portion, and now I am on the pureered portion, which is a lot better than the liquid portion. I lost 20 pounds so far, but I fell like I am gaining them back even though I am eating very lightly. Today, I had a yogurt drink for lunch, a can of tuna with lite mayo, and I will probably have some black beans and cheese for dinner. I kinda feel bad because I am having a hard time watching my drinking. With the lap band you are suppose to not drink 30 mins before an dafter you eat, but I have been feeling so thirsty that I had to drink, I know that is wrong so I really have to watch it. More updates to come.

Where Have I Been??????

Whatz Up!

So I have been missing for a minute!!!! I just had LAP Band Surgery, and I am going to be down for a minute, but I will be back up on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miracle at St. Anna

Miracle at St. Anna chronicles the story of four black American soldiers who are members of the US Army as part of the all-black 92nd “Buffalo Soldier” Division stationed in Tuscany, Italy during World War II. 

They experience the tragedy and triumph of the war as they find themselves trapped behind enemy lines and separated from their unit after one of them risks his life to save an Italian boy.

Wow! I can’t believe this film was so long, but I was up to the very end. I would like to commend Director Spike Lee for finally showing us what some African American soldiers had to endure during the war. The film was very refreshing to me because it did not really show a lot of Lee’s views and opinions, but instead it showed what a group of African American soldiers had to do to survive during the war. I always wanted to know how African-American soldiers felt during the war while they were serving our country, and in this film Lee gives an idea of what they had to do during that time.

My Saturday!

So I am back on schedule. Here are some of the photos that I took today below. Here is the first photo I did while trying to work in photoshop. Not too bad for someone just starting out.
