Everyday Systems

whew. I took off a week for vacation in Florida, where I ate what ever I wanted. pretty much, and a week with a thrown out back, where I ate what ever I could drag myself to.

So now I'm going to start the 21 day count-down again. I kind of missed it.

Newbies, Yea!

Day 13--Success

The weekend was hard though...without the structure I wanted to eat everything in sight. I didn't though. I did eat more than I have been, and I tried to pay attention to how that felt. Sluggish.

I managed to eat three-ish meals today, but no snacks, and no jelly beans, which are everywhere at work. I'm going to have to figure out how to eat meals at a regular time, but later. I need to use a plate too, take-out cartons are decptive. Hmmm. Plates. I think I remember where they are.
