    Beautiful day today...went for a nice walk...home now, doing homey stuff.

    B- oatmeal, scrambled eggs with corn salsa, coffee
    S- green drink
    L- chicken sammy
    Di- Thanksgiving at my sister's...they will be gone on the actual holiday.
    De- see above

    Last night I did not have dessert...and it did not make a diff on the scale...but I think it will, eventually. What is good about that, is I now know I can get through the night without dessert and SURVIVE! :*

    NOT really a TG dinner...

    roasted chicken, apple sauce, green beans, kale salad, baked potato (plain)..

    and then I caved to dessert when I got home. Granola and...sheesh, AND frozen yogurt. Not feeling the effects...feel chipper this morning...just wish I had gone to sleep without dessert. Will try again tonight.

    Today's Menu:

    B: eggs, salsa, coffee
    S: green drink
    L: swiss cheese sammy with micro greens, pear
    S: green drink
    Di: leftovers from Sat night...(sweet sister sent me home with them)!

    Will give it the ol college try to go to sleep without dessert.

    Got a good ride in yesterday on my bike...and a nice walk ... doing the same today!

    B: egg burrito, green drink, coffee
    L: swiss sammy, olives with garlic and jalapeno, pear
    S: green drink
    Di: chicken rice and kale salad
    De:HC bar and 1T peanut butter

    Thinking I need to do 2 weeks of P1. Just not sure when...timing is crucial. Two Thanksgivings coming up...This coming Thurs and then on TG.

    So, shooting for Friday after TG. Not planning on any giant pig out on either TG...but I think I want to be into SB when all the goodies start to show up at work. And then, be done with it and wow, feel the results and say, I am so not going to spoil this hard work indulging as the holiday gets even closer.
