Calorie Countdown - Happy New Year (and/or whatever you say to a Catholic on Ash...

Hi everyone!  I hope the Chinese New Year brings you luck, health, fortune and new skinnier clothing sizes. Edit : tomorrow I hope you find luck, health, fortune, and skinnier clothes.  Today, too bad, you get nothing and like it :) So what did you eat today?  I've done well so far, no brownies in sight and I resisted the cookies and chocolate on hand in class today.  Wednesday sucks.  I present in there next week and I am going to have to bring some kind of terrible health food to torture them for a change.  Any recipes?
