Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Went a little astray last night. My guy brought over something to drink
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, took my stepson to gym, tho it was short visit as I was crazy busy, still worked my arms.

What would I have done differently? Definately would've like more time. Busy with work, dinner, son's birthday party this evening, Daughter's school project, etc. Wish I wouldn't keep forgetting to bring my tennies into work, I could walk on breaks and lunch. Hard to do in heels.
What is today's personal goals? Try to find time to workout AT ALL today, as my son's party is this evening. And to try NOT to eat any of the pizza, cookie cake and ice cream that I will be serving. I am making a 'zucchini pizza' casserole dish where you use zucchini as a 'crust' and I bought skinny cow 150 cal ice cream sandwhiches so that I do not feel too deprived tonight. (I am making sure I take it light today as I def wanna sneak a piece of crazy bread this evening!)
Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...)? Made cooking light's Quinoa Meatballs with spaghetti squash (like spaghetti and meatballs) surprisingly a very good substitution on occasion.
