Set Backs

I haven't posted in a while.  Things have been going OK.  I hadn't been losing more weight- the last 15-20 pounds- but I wasn't gaining.  My exercise plan was working- Pilates, walk/run, walking several times a week, and more.  Eating had been under control and the Band was working.  I went to China of for two weeks and came back from vacation feeling great with no weight gain.

Then came the summer cold to end all colds.   A month of inactivity, lack of sleep because of meds, restricted breathing that makes even a climb upstairs leaving me tired, and then...a gain of 15 pounds!

I can't do much yet other than start logging my food and watching how much I'm eating.  But it will take jump-starting m y exercise plan to begin losing the weight.

I'm beside myself.  Pollen counts are very high and going outside triggers the restricted breathing.  So I have to wait..recover..do the best I can to not gain anymore weight. And. Not. Give. Up!!
