R1P3D6 - Fruit Roll Ups
After my stressful day... I ended up losing 1lb. That was the highlight in all of this. Next week I'm having a bake sale for the cheerleaders so I'm sure I'll gain it back once that's over with.
I really wish today was Friday. I want to hang out with my husband.
I also wish Greek wasn't being cancelled. Makes me sad everytime I think about it. Cappie is going to be on an episode of Parenthood though. (yah!)
And now to the food I want today...
I love fruit roll ups and gushers. They are my guilty pleasure that I NEVER get to have.
Until now...
