Yeah it's me. I started my diet again. You can probably tell by my picture that if I lost a little more weight, it wouldn't hurt anything. I made myself some chicken soup with chicken broth, cabbage, sliced raw celery and some asparagus. I'm not supposed to mix my veggies but that's my big confession. I gave up the bread sticks for a little bit of celery in my soup.
I was most impressed. My daughter and her four darling babies, came for a visit. Her husband let her stay for about 5 weeks this time. The time flew by. We ate pizza and went for ice cream and we made chili and desserts. I never gained back any of the weight I lost. So here we go again. I'm less than a week into it and I've lost 10 lbs already.
I made 2 dressings today. I'm going to post the recipe here for future reference as I really like it and want to remember how to make it.
