I'm ba-a-a-a-a-ck!  After a few weeks of the Plan on hiatus and then the first week of the New Year faffing around because I couldn't get serious, I'm back on track (mostly).  I didn't want to get up this morning--mostly because it was seriously dark all day--so I got a late start to the doctor's office, so no brekkie.  My shoulder is better, but I still have limited mobility.  I can't get my arm behind my back very far and I can't do the twisting motion with my right arm necessary to fasten my bra.  I know--TMI!  Anyway, I have been able to pin down where the pain is and he says there's a tiny little muscle (something-or-other minor) that is 'stuck'.  So he gave me a new exercise and did some acupuncture into that muscle and I go back in a fortnight.

So when I left his office, I was HUNGRY!  I needed t go by Betty's to check on coffee, so I had brunch (fresh-squeezed OJ,an English muffin, scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of bacon and coffee), then I had the last of my chicken and rice and veggies for dinner, some yogurt, a handful of nuts and some raspberries.  I've almost made 3 liters of water, too.  Not too shabby!

I did gain about 5 lbs, but I'm back on track, so I'm not bothered.  I did most of my grocery shopping so I'll get up in the morning and marinate some chicken and do the chicken sate with peanut sauce, some rice and veggies.  Part of my problem with getting on track last week was the continuing of holiday hours and service (or lack thereof), so now I'm doing my own salads.  I think once I get into a routine, I'll be fine, but chopping all those veggies for salads is a hassle!
