This has been such a crazy busy summer for me.  This past weekend we had our annual BBQ.  I was so busy running around shopping, cleaning, cooking - all the usual stuff we do to get ready.  In the back of my mind, I was hoping and praying that I wouldn't go overboard with all the goodies people will be bringing.  In my planning, I had plenty of food that was band friendly, so I was sure to have a lot of choices.

The party was a great success.  Everyone had a blast and I was so busy running around and spending time with everyone, I didn't overdo it.  When I finally sat down to eat, filling my plate (still haven't mastered the art of eyeing the right amount on the plate), my band was doing its job, and I only ate a small amount of meat and some cole slaw.  I actually came away with a 2lb loss!  YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Good for you!  I love that reminder from the band to stop before we over do it!  Keep up the great work.
