Well I didn't get the mini challenge in - I chose to rest & spend a quality time night w/ the puppy & boyfriend, which turned out to be a great night! Wwe made a healthy dinner together & sat down to eat at the table instead of in front of the tv, & we both stopped eating after 7, which was great since my goal is usually 7:30 (& I haven't stuck to in months!). Here's to Tuesdays challenge!
