My bed was calling me...

So happy to get home yesterday and take a nap. I so needed it. The tummy was acting up and I just had this weird all over feeling, but feeling better today. I so wanted to hit the gym this morning but the morning is not my friend these days...I need to get back on track...as I know if I got my butt moving in the morning I would feel better the rest of the day. So tonight the dreaded treadmill, the only saving grace is that I have good music on my iPod. I can't believe what a difference it makes.

Here is the recipe I mentioned for yummy potatoes. Now this dish is not in the diet plans but it is so yummy and you have to indulge every once in a while.
