    @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.

    1. track food :neutral: did breakfast and lunch!
    2. walk on at least one work break :)(
    3. cardio/weight workout :(
    4. 10,000 steps :(

    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.

    Wednesday:
    1. track food
    2. 60 minutes high-intensity Zumba
    3. 10,000 steps
    4. 10+ C water

    1. rest to try and get rid of this cold :) I rested a lot yesterday --- and feel SO much better today! Still not feeling great, but compared to yesterday, a big improvement!
    2. try not to snap at hubby and daughter. Rest instead :) Laid in bed and worked on business expenses - something I just hate doing! But watched "shark tank", and drank my Orange juice, and got a lot done
    3. drink water :)

    JFT, Friday
    1. drink water
    2. eat as healthy as possible, but focus more on getting over this cold

    @Moxie42 -- Great job!!

    I cannot thank each of you SO SO much for being on this journey with me.

    I started a new thread for the year 2018 --- I hope you will all join me there as we have a year, a fresh start. I am hoping this year to reach my weight goals, meet new online friends, and encourage each other throughout the year. I can't wait to see what the new year brings all of us.

    So please join me!

    Baby steps today.

    Just for Thursday:
    1. Journal every bite honestly. Don't leave out one single Hershey kiss. Don't worry about staying in the green at this point, just get in the habit of tracking EVERY single bite.
    2. Increase water intake. At least eight 8 oz glasses
    3. Activity tonight. Even if it is 15 minutes. Get some.
    4. Rewrite my Advantages Resource index cards from Day 1 of Beck Diet Solution.
    5. Look at menu online for Margarita's restaurant where our boss is taking us for lunch today and pick something healthy.
    6. Take one hour of "me" time today to rejuvenate by doing something I enjoy and find relaxing.

    OMG --- I am also! I gained almost 8 pounds over christmas. I am reading the book by Dr Beck: The Beck Diet Solution: Train your brain to think like a thin person. It is a lifelong struggle I've had. You can do it - just keep getting on here. I found that at least helps me to try and stay focused one day at a time!
