Home again

We arrived home on Wed night, a little sore but nothing major to complain about. Today was my first day back at work and it really wiped me out even though I didn't have much to do. Not sure I am getting enough calories... will have to start a daily journal of how many, just to be sure I am getting enough.

Banded March 10

So, officially banded as of March 10th. I am sore, but surprised at how quick recovery is. Dr. Ortiz and all the Staff at Obesity Control Center have gone above and beyond. I just loved my experience there.

After coming back to the hotel with Mrs. Ortiz, (she said: I know you want to just lay down and sleep, but the best thing for you will be to walk, rest, walk, walk, walk) both my sister and I went to bed and slept for a couple of hours. WHOOPS... When we woke up, we were rejuvenated and ready to hit "Revolution Ave" for some shopping.
We met Kate and her hubby and got ourselves a cab... shopping in TJ!

In Mexico

Ok, it has been a few days but my what a whirlwind. Diane and I have arrived her in Tijuana Mexico and are getting ourselves aquainted with the hotel and what is going to be expected. My weightloss has been ok to this point, but not quite the 15lbs I "needed" to lose. We will see if I get postponed tomorrow. It took us a little while to find out that we will be picked up at 7:30 am so our alarm is set for 7am. We have both showered and taken our makeup off and packed what we will need for tomorrow.
Diane is feeling a little anxious, but suprisingly, I am not really feeling anything right now. We did however throroughly enjoy our "Last Dinner" and unfortunately ate too much. We don't even have room to eat the fruit in the basket that they brought us at dinner time. Oh well.
We have met 2 other bandsters who will be joining us tomorrow so we have company and others to chat with. It has been fun talking to them. So, now we are just heading into bed in order to get a good night's sleep (if we can) and since we have had such a mix up with the timechange in Canada and US, but apparantly Mexico decided not to join us so we then had to change the time back.. took us several hours and Kate to help us with this ;) Ok, now for some tv (spanish maybe) and shuteye...
