It's been a few weeks since I've posted but I've been trying to keep up with everyone. These days go by so fast. Here's what I'm thinking about today...

• I haven't lost a pound in three weeks. In fact, I've gained and lost the same 5 over and over. It's time to get back in the game. I get my secong fill on Thursday, so hopefully, I'll have more restriction.
  
• I love that it's almost Fall even though it's still in the 90's here in Texas. The Fall decorations are out and High School football is in full swing. So much fun.
  
• My mom had her 76th birthday on Friday and we celebrated. What do you do when you know it's probably the last time you'll get to blow out birthday candles on your cake? I had a real hard time with it but managed to make it a fun time for her. She was beautiful with her makeup and her wig - always putting her best face forward despite the cancer. I wish I could do more.
  
• My husband entered a 100 mile canoe race this weekend with a friend. He finished in 19 hours, and it'll take him 19 DAYS to recover.
  
• I crave popcorn but I'm scared to try it.
  
• I keep forgetting not to drink with meals.
  
• The flu bug is really bad here. Wash your hands people. And if you're sick, for gosh sakes - stay home.
  
• Think about how nasty and germy the handles of a grocery cart are. Then wash your hands again.
  
• I have people ask me all the time now if I've lost weight. It's a great feeling.
  
• New season of Ellen started today - have it dvr'd and ready to watch.
  
• Any idea when Grey's Anatomy is back on???
  

This doesn't have much to do with the lap band, but I guess my point is that life is still very normal for me. I don't think about the band as much and that's nice.

Have a great week everyone. Pray for my mom and all the others who need our prayers.

Hook 'em horns!

I tried pop corn. Go slow I did not have more than 1 cup and it even had a little real butter on it. I air popped it myself. I did ok with it no problems. I also had a craving for it I just chewed it really well and savored the flavor. Now I do not crave it anymore. NICE.

I think Gray's starts soon, my daughter just loves that show. I have not given my band much though lately either people think I am nuts eating so slow. I just tell them that is what my nutritioist has suggested so now it is a habit. I have not told anyone. I love the complements too

Think about my band buddy everyday. Love Kathy imaluckdog
