Eating garlic bread is not going to reduce my stress level.

Mind if I join you?

I had a horrible eating day yesterday and I blame it all on Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General for the state of New York. There, it's not my fault!! Long story, but he served a subpoena on DH last night at 5:30 pm, which caused him not to get home until 9 pm and is canceling out next week's vacation. So I showed Andrew Cuomo who's boss by stuffing my face! Genius, pure genius on my part.

So today is planned and logged in Fitday.

M1: Kashi Go Lean, unsweetened almond milk
M2: Egg, egg whites, oatmeal
M3: Chili over shredded cabbage
M4: LF string cheese, apple
M5: Salmon, veggie of some sort
S: Diet cocoa

Getting enough sleep would help. DH had to get up at 3:45 this morning to go to DC, so I'm a tad tired today. Blew off the gym but will be there tomorrow morning, no excuses.
