Well I did not exactly make it through the holidays as planned. In fact the reason I have not been posting is because I have been sick. First a stomach virus and then followed by a cold that moved from my head to my chest and is still hanging on. I feel very run down and have not got to do any of the exercise I had planned to do. I indugled a little during the holidays as far as food but not overly so. I decided to enjoy myself and not try and beat myself up or keep up with each bite I took. Which with the non exercise has gave me a gain. I'm okay with that...today is new day.

So today I have started to journal everything the way I should be. It's hard once you get out of the habit to get back to it again. It's a habit I have been fighting with for a few months. I have found today, at work, that laying the journal over top of my snacks helps a great deal to make sure I "write before I bite". It feels really good to be keeping up with it all.
