It's good to see so much variety and veggies! Keep it up ladies

2 pieces ciabatta bread

Salad of green apples, raspberries, purple cabbage, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, orange juice, lemon juice and agave nectar

Beet, celery, carrot and ginger juice

Had a pretty horrible weekend as far as eating too little and drinking too much. I'm doing great on week days but I'm going to have to work harder on getting the weekends under control. A little treat now and then is OK, but I'm letting it slide too much. (Reminder to self: 2 beers is OK. A six-pack at once is not. 2 glasses of wine is OK. The whole bottle at one sitting is not. Repeat until you get this straight!!)

Moving on...

L: turkey sub on whole wheat w/lettuce, tomato, mustard & black olives
s: yogurt
D: I really have no idea...either a salad or some leftover chili or maybe a little of both. (Not the least bit hungry at the moment.) So, should I force myself to eat or just wait until I want to? Probably wouldn't hurt me to skip it, since I know I'm going to eat plenty tomorrow. Then again, eating frequently is better for the metabolism...decisions, decisions.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
