I'm sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I haven't been doing anything too exciting. I need to keep up my blog I know, I want to be able to look back and see my progression toward my goal weight.
I have only 2 weeks left until I go for my adjustment of my band. I am so looking forward to it. I am fighting the urge to eat candy. We went to Costco last week and bought 3 huge bags of candy. We needed them like a hole in the head. I have managed to resist them for the last 3 days. Before that I did eat some. I have stepped up my workouts at the gym so I don't have a weight gain when I go for my adjustment. I have gained about 5 pounds and don't want to have to lose any more than that. It's been 5 months since my band was unfilled and I don't want to beat myself up for the weight gain so I am trying not to think about it. Once I am adjusted again things will turn around.
The weather has started to turn cooler and we've gotten some rain. I love the fall weather and the changing of the leaves. I get the urge to cook comfort foods and soups and such. I love to make and eat soups. I can't seem to read the blogs on here without copying at least one or two recipes to keep and try later on. I bought some fresh veggies today at the farmers market. Tonight we are having grilled chicken breasts on salad. We love these and I can load up on the fresh veggies for my own salad since hubby is picky and only likes the basics in his salad. I got some red bell peppers and avocado and zucchini, mushrooms and of course the usual cucumbers, green onions and tomatoes and lettuce. Yummy huh?

Kathy,
5 months and only 5 pounds!!! You are doing amazing! I am putting off buying the Halloween candy for the trick-or-treaters until the very last minute---scrambled eggs don't do too well with my band but chocolate has no problem!!! LOL!
Pass on any soup recipes you tested and loved! I'm always looking for them!

I know that with all the time you have spent loosing weight you don't want to gain it back but I do think you've done really well with the difficulties you've encountered. Hang in there. Salads are not my favorite thing when the weather gets cold and I do like soups and stews so I eat alot of them. The bread that goes with it is my downfall that and snacking... I give you lots of credit for what you are doing.
I know the chocolate temptation, but think past the moment and place your mind in the future. Hang in there. You can do it.
Congratulations on your weight loss. I had a recent blood test and I am deficient in Vitamins B&D. It is my own fault as I have not been taking my multiple vitamins, calcium nor protein drinks. This scared me and I have an appt. with a nutritionist next month to get back on track.
There is nothing worse as the knowledge that there is candy in the house. :)
Stay strong.
Hi Kathy,
Just catching up myself now on my favorite Bloggers!! Hope your adjustment goes well. All my issues went away without issue. I was thankful. As Judi said, please post those soup recipes you love!!

Hi Kathy....just wanted to pop in and thank you for your kind words of comfort to me earlier this week. It means a great deal.
L bought our bags of candy at Costco tonight. I don't think I'm safe in the house with them any longer than 24 hours!
Hey Kathy....
Thinking about you sweetie!!!
Judi
