    Far behind again with posting my goals, so goals tomorrow will be simple:
    1. log all food
    2. estimate on food for dinner with my friend - eat light throughout the day, and have a salad for dinner (the place we are eating at has the best salads!).
    3. concentrate on water
    4. finish up xmas shopping after dinner
    5. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable
    6. remember, just because I am stressed and its the holiday season , no reason to overeat!

    Yes, that app is really intuitive. So far it's been excellent for me. I need colourful visuals to keep me motivated.

    I'm still battling the last vestiges for my aweful cold/flu so my food goals are all over the place. I'll start posting faithfully again once I'm feeling better.

    What is in chimichurri soup? I love chimi, but have never encountered it as anything other than a sauce.

    @azulvioleta6 - It's based on a frozen chimmichurri rice mix from Trader Joes- I'm not sure what's in the rice mix (I think it's basically rice, veggies, and chimmichurri seasoning) but the soup also has sweet Italian chicken sausage (1 package uncased and cooked like ground meat), roasted tomato & bell pepper soup (8 cups), and a package of frozen mixed veggies. Other than cooking the sausage first, everything is just "dump in the pot and let simmer"- super easy and absolutely delicious- it's thick and creamy without any cream or cornstarch being added.

    Had a crazy/long day at work yesterday and realized that I was really short on sleep, so I came how and went to bed instead of going to the gym. So, Tuesday was kind of a failure, but I really needed the lovely 8 hours of sleep that I got! Today I forgot my lunch and had to each out...oy ve! It's going to take me a while to adjust to working away from home and commuting.
