Dinner was rigatoni and a home made sauce that included tofu+spinach and fresh basil mmm...
I had fresh raspberries for dessert with a skinny cow ice cream (only 150 calories) :)
After dinner we enjoyed a glass of Riesling on the front porch, the weather in Florida is finally cool enough to do that! I'm really excited that our fall is just around the corner! I made a fall wreath for the front door
Workout:
I did NOT feeling like going to the gym- headache, exhausted etc, but I dragged myself out there and did an hour on the bike while reading my big fat entrepreneurship book for homework- multi tasking as I'm short on time!
