    I'm going back to doing only 1 goal per day. I find it's more attainable and I feel better that way.

    Today's goal: No processed sugars

    I was soooooo close to being a good girl! I turned down sweets and sugary drinks all day at work and then I was tempted to the dark side by my grandma's homemade butter tart that I had stowed away at home. I only ate one, and I really enjoyed it. But I'll have to try the same rule again tomorrow.

    No processed sugars.

    No processed sugars.

    I did it! No sugar and no wheat! I also stayed within my calorie goal!

    I hope to do the same thing today.

    I have missed not getting on here, and haven't even had time to log food or do anything but work :/ . Christmas season is always very busy for us, so trying not to get too stressed. (I guess everyone is buying their christmas presents from us!). We are shipping 5 things tomorrow, and my husband shipped 4 while I was out of town. While the sales are good, it can be very stressful for us.

    SO JFT, Tuesday
    1. log all food
    2. drink 8+ glasses of water
    3. plan wednesdays meals
    4. call my daughter. She has been doing a lot of crying again - this time of year is very hard for her with depression. Just be there for her --- thats all I can do.
    5. try not to let myself get depressed when others talk about being with family members during this holiday season. My siblings are all gone, so this is the hardest time of year for me. Remember the good times. Don't dwell on all that I have lost. Don't eat to ease the pain.
    6. write out at least 10 xmas cards
    7. brush and floss teeth at 8 pm - no more eating
    8. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable

    So while I was off sick I was looking for ways to keep my New Years resolutions this year. I found this app called "HabitBull" and it's awesome! So far I've made 3 goals: exercise for 30 mins every day, don't eat sugar, and increase my fruit/veggie consumption. This app gives an awesome visual of how successful you've been with your goals. It keeps track in colourful grafts and on a calendar. I'm finding it really motivating!

    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.
