I am feeling good this morning even if I was up at 6 am. It will take me 2 weeks to adjust to the time change. I wish they would just do away with it.
I got to visit with my folks last night, we hadn't seen them in 3 weeks. Dad is a long haul truck driver. He looked at me and said how much weight have you lost? He said your face looks smaller and your clothing is baggy. It felt real good to have someone notice. I think I will be getting new clothing for Christmas from them. I will really need them by then.
I will stop rambling now, guess I am in a talkative mood this morn.

As you can see I am still here, alive and kicking. Last week I hit the dreaded 185 and I said above that was my suicide weight since I PROMISED myself when I went below it I would never get there again. It seems when I would re hit 185 I would gain and gain and be over 200 lbs again. Well since I was out of bed more thia week and able to not live on bread and butter and had real food I would like you to know I LOST 2 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yipppppppeeeeeeeeee
Now I don't know if that counts as a loss to start my fat quilt. I have yet to make any blocks since I was not losing but gained. What do you think so I deserve 2 blocks or not?????????

Today it is cold and as everyone knows I love soup I am going to make creamy sweet potato recipe will follow........it says fall to me and it is a bright blue cold fall day. I want to cook stuff so I have it for the week incase I an zapped with motors running from the construction and not being able to get out of bed. It is quiet on Sunday at least until the leaf blowers start. There can't be too many more weeks of that.
Creamy Sweet Potato Soup
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 c chopped celery
1 1/2 c water
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 tbsp flour
2 c fat free milk
In a pot with the water cook sweet potatoes, celery, onion and spices until potatos are soft. Pour 1/2 of the mixture in a blender along with the flour. Blend until smooth. Pour bake into pot. Add milk and simmer and stir, it will get thick as it cooks. cook for about 5 minutes. If it is too thick for your liking add some more milk or water.
