Today has been a bad day
Started off really well, but then my mum made curly fries and ribs for dinner, and I had to eat them otherwise she would have been annoyed. Tomorrow's weigh day, and I'm scared that it will have had an effect. This week hasn't been a particularly good week, and I really hope I haven't gained any weight. I'm going to the gym tomorrow, so if I have at last I can work some off then.
