Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes

What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Stayed within my calories, Elliptical for 45 minutes and chose to have a pear at 8:00 last night instead of a chocolate chip muffin.

What would I have done differently? Nothing

What is today's personal goals? Workout - today will be hard for me to stay within my calories. I have a Holiday Party tonight. It usually is a buffet - my approach is to layoff the appetizers (pick fruit instead), choose a small amount of items from the buffet that I wouldn't normally make/eat and go for the chocolate covered strawberries instead of the cheescake. Wish me luck! I probably should do the Elliptical for 2 hours today... :laugh:

Something I read that I'm going to use for my next big party in January, don't know if I can do it. I read "somewhere" that you only need 3 bites for off your diet foods. One to see if you like it, the second to enjoy it, and the third to remind you that you don't need it.

Hope you have great success!
