Setting up the journal for Thanksgiving week. Everyone is welcome to join in and use the journal for goal setting, tracking how you're doing with your goals, or whatever else might be helpful in keeping you on track.

I had a terribly stressful day at work yesterday. I was craving junk really bad in the late afternoon and I just kept putting off going to the snack bar until it closed (whew, dodged THAT bullet). Then, on the way home, all I could think of, taste and smell was fast food. I wanted to stop SO badly. But in the back of my head was this voice that said "No more than 1 meal out per week." and I drove on home. I had a fattier meal than I usually would for dinner, but it was still much less fatty than if I'd stopped for fast food.

Baby Steps for November:

I am in my third week of meal plans and I have only rescheduled one day as we had many leftovers to eat. I have mostly been relying on KD's books to plan the week. We have not had a bomb yet.

As for my fruit, I have been eating min of 2 fruits per day. Planning ahead for meals has really helped me to have fruit in the house at all times.

I had a good week last week.
This week is feeling like a lot to me. I am going to break it up. Monday, Tues and Wed. my plan is to log all my food on paper and follow my exercise plan posted in kd's homework. I have to do some more thinking about our visit with family- how I will handle exercise and food planning. It is important that I am on track through Thursday as that will help me be on track later in the week.
