Calories were great; food choices... not so much.
Long Term:
1. Lose 7 lbs. by November 28th. Down 3
2. Change my mental attitude (again) toward food. It's not a treat, boredom killer or a reward. Check!
3. Get through Thanksgiving Day without a major melt-down.
4. Look great in my black dress without a "supportive assist".
5. Journal, when needed, to figure out what's going on and why I can't master this, once and for all. Didn't need to today.
This Week:
1. Calories between 1000-1200. 1102
2. One fruit or vegetable serving with each meal and one as a snack. Yes
3. 80 oz. of liquid a day. Yes
4. Take all vitamins and supplements. Yes
5. Walk 3 times in the next 7 days, weather permitting.
6. Log everything. Yes
7. No bread, cheese, butter or spreads Monday-Friday, no excuses! I ate all 3!
8. List something wonderful that happened to me today. I made someone laugh with a story about a dead fish... lol AND I got through 3 more college apps.! AND the Packers play tonight!

Rocked most of my goals today, but I need to work on Christmas shopping, I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be "Layaway Tuesday".

Yes, sir... That was me! Touchdowns 1, 2 AND 3! 
If Minnesota didn't have Adrian Peterson, they'd have nothing at all. Actually, there are several hundred thousand Packer fans that put a curse on the Vikings for taking in Favre... LOL. Favre in a purple uniform was just plain old wrong!

I never liked Farve. Maybe it's b/c he was out one night here (a long time ago) and was acting like a db. Besides he can't even pronounce his name, Favre sounds like Fav-ray to me. 
He was a tough and good QB though.

I guess it's safe to say that you won this one. Maybe she doesn't like y'all anymore. I say y'all b/c she probably never liked me. Maybe she'll show up soon, it's tough taking her place. I'm just not naturally that happy go lucky.
