But last night, I went to a friend’s birthday at a bar around the corner. Despite dragging all week because I’ve been imbibing a bit more than usual, I had a few drinks and ordered some sliders and fries.

This morning, I woke up and did a quick workout with Exercise TV and then ran over to Dunkin’ Donuts to get breakfast for my mom and myself. (She came in to help me pack.)
