Pam your FQ is here so you are fine. I was doing well until I made a chocolate cake today. I ate a big piece.I will take a piece to my mom tomorrow and my uncle. DH is on an eating binge. Hopefully it will be gone when I get home tomorrow. I have a fitbit zip. If I walk the stairs at school I have between 7000 and 8000 steps by the time I get home. I try to get in 10000 steps but some days the knee just doesn't cooperate.
Back on track tomorrow,
Pat

Working on getting some quilts quilted. 4 down, 5 to go. One of them is a giant (king size) flannel quilt that I put together over 10 years ago. We'll see when I get that one quilted. I only have a DSM Bernina.

Been trying to do a good job at my food. I think I am down about 2 lbs so far this month. Picked up some cheap veggies at a local church. They bring up excess produce from Mexico and I got a huge box of green bells, another of orange bells, a huge box of roma tomatoes, a box of yellow zucchini and 12 packages of "cocktail" tomatoes. I gave a bunch of veggies to my daughters that live here. Now what to do with the rest.
I have never made stuffed peppers but I think I may have to try that one. Maybe I will have to find some kind of zucchini soup or something too.....

THANK GOODNESS i bought a bag of chopped broccoli, cauliflower and carrots yesterday at the store..... I was hungry ALL day today....Took that bag out of the frig at least half a dozen times today to munch with fat free Ranch. I hate to think what would have happened if it hadn't been there!!!
Know a lot of folks are getting snowed in something awful......but it was a beautiful sunny 80 here today - so got to take the now walking DGD to play outside.
Wishing everyone a great week !!!!

I made a creamy zucchini soup for dinner tonight. The recipe is found at Skinnytatse.com or something like that. I modified it a little. Made mine with Zucchini, bits of broccoli, cauliflower, green pepper, onion leek, extra garlic (of course) and since I did not have any sour cream or greek yogurt on hand, after blending with the immersion blender I added an avocado from my friends orchard. It turned out pretty good. Hardly any calories! We put a teaspoon of shredded Parmesan on top.
Had a left-over chicken sausage on the side. I'm nice and full and it was mostly vegetables!

That soup sounds wonderful, Gayle. You are so lucky to have all those fresh veggies available. We have to have our shipped from Cali and Mexico so they aren't quite as fresh as yours.

Congrats Megan, I will keep trying this month. Have been walking every day now to get serious.

Gayle....that soup sounds WONDERFUL. I wonder if i could get my DH to eat some of those veggies that he doesn't care for if i did a soup like that....thanks for the inspiration.

Megan--wow, 6 pounds--that's great! I didn't lose any last month but didn't gain either. I used My Fitness Pal last year and was doing really well with it. I may have to start using it again. The good news is that I'm pretty much the same weight as I was last year. The bad news is I wanted to lose more weight.

Sounds like a lot of us are keeping busy quilting. I've noticed that I do much better with food when I get a lot of quilting done. And I have LOTs of ideas and kits. I really should just stay in the quilting room.

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a while. Life got a little crazy. I've been back on track eating well. Total weight loss is 54lbs. I just hit a low spot and came here looking for support. I hope everyone is doing well. =D
