Reset, restart

So I'd like to pretend that I've been so very good that I haven't needed to write.  I'd like to pretend that I didn't have anything interesting to tell, because I've only eaten carrot sticks.  The reality is that the insanity of my life and job literally have sapped all energy for the past two weeks.

Then came Thanksgiving.  I wasn't terrible, but I wasn't particularly good.  Some of it I blame on the fact that I was staying as a guest in my boyfriend's parents' home.   They prepared meals, so I pretty much ate what they prepared.  But I could have said no to pie, cookies, aimed more for veggies, etc.

But... I'm back on the horse.  I"m not even going to try to chronicle what I ate the past two weeks, I'm just going to say UGH!

I've been to the gym already this morning, had my protein shake, and am starting to think about my day's food decisions.

I also have a new goal.  Rather than big lofty goals, months out, I'm going to start setting small ones.  And in addition to blogging everything that goes in my mouth, I'm going to also log my weight on Mondays. Finally, my one new tweak is that I'm going to record today's food today, not tomorrow.  So, here goes:

GOAL: Lose 7 lbs by Christmas trip home (12/22)-
GOAL Weight: 150
Current Weight:157
Notes- I think this is attainable, I think that part of the 157 is probably a little Thanksgiving pudge, and will hopefully come off quickly when I stop eating Thanksgiving sized meals.

Breakfast-
Skim Milk protein shake

Small apple
