REPORT
Wine Party at V's last night. I think I went over the recommended daily 6 ozs. And my was there quite a spread of food there. Um, this has prompted me to start to think about what to do about the holidays; or I should say, how I'm going to handle them this year. I'm not going to deny anything I love, like mashed potatoes. I know if I do, I'll just crave them like crazy and binge. But I am going to load my plate with the veggies and add just a bit of the more indulgent, less healthy things.

*SLEEP: just read in Glamour magazine that better sleep lead to healthy weight. At 4 hours, your body's all effed up, craving sugar and unable to process food well. So, I'm going to be making sure I get enough sleep.
