I bought some eggnog at the store and am really craving some. I might have a little before bed.

I think the detox diet, albeit brief, has helped me have a little more self control. It seems at school there is always food around. Someone is always baking, or bringing in snacks. I resisted the chips and salsa that were out at our meeting this afternoon and didn't overeat for dinner.

My ankle is a little sore from being on it all day and then going to Costco and Sprouts, coming home, making dinner, and cleaning up. I have a strange bulge around my ankle and the veins are really sticking out. I hope this is a sign it's getting better?

I exercised for about 15 minutes after dinner. I did a series of stomach exercises and some stretching. I practiced the crow pose and was happy that I am still able to do it (check out the picture on facebook).

While browsing Yahoo, I found an article with some tips for staying slim during the holidays:

My husband cleaned the kitchen counter, and I mean the whole counter, with granite cleaner. This is worth mentioning!
