On the home front, we've started school (both Lucia AND Liam) and are finally getting into a routine of sorts, although we aren't quite there yet. I am looking forward to us really getting into a daily routine where we know exactly what is happening and when. I think that will help me a lot with my weight loss (see below). I haven't been doing very well on the band front, but I feel good that today I am focusing on water and protein, and have some short-term goals in place... one of which is to be better about blogging...

On the band front, I am not feeling at all good about my body right now, and as a result, I've chosen to hide from blogging a bit. I got filled about a month ago and have lost maybe (?!?!?) 5 pounds if I am lucky. I am really struggling with getting back into the groove of being banded. Although I have more restriction than I did, I don't have enough - but at the same point, don't want to get more right now until I can get back into my routine of not drinking with meals, focusing on high protein, etc... And to be completely honest, I have been partaking in far too much wine. This weekend I cooked up a bunch of the egg bites from Eggface's website, and also made some other things that I can grab-and-go with from the freezer - I am hoping that will help me kick things along. My biggest struggle is figuring out how to fit exercising back into this new routine, because with Liam's eating schedule and getting up in the middle of the night, running early in the morning like I used to isn't in the cards right now.
Before going back to work, we were in the Outer Banks... Jacquie and I were supposed to connect, but unfortunately Hurricane Irene had other plans and the OBX ended up being evacuated... very bummed, but at least I know I'll get to see Jacquie sometime this fall/spring when we head south to FL next...
OK... it's a new "season" (I always think the start of school should be the start of a new year), so I am hoping that I can really get back into a better routine and back below 200 soon!!!

It is great to hear you are doing well with that adorable baby! He is so cute.
I know how getting back on track can be difficult. You have been so successful, I know you will find the way to get back on track with it.
Such cuties!!!!! :)
Damn Irene! I was so looking forward to seeing you too!
The routine will get better and easier and you will get your head back in the weight losing game! You did it before and you'll do it again...I have no doubt!
