Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? -- Tuesday

Today I started using the vitamin patch!  We'll see how it goes when I have labs next time.  I feel confident based on other people's results, though, and I'd like to be able to stop swallowing so many pills each day.  

This is also my last day of school before Thanksgiving break.  I still have school work to do during the break, but it's nice to not have to physically travel to any classes for the next five days.

Now that's what I call keeping an accurate food log! Those spoon-licks would have been so easy to overlook. Good for you!
