Off to the Capital

This is what two days of Medifast food looks like when the order that gives you variety is on the way in the mail.

Yesterday went quite well. I talked on the phone with my TSFL coach for about 45 minutes about recent struggles and resolved to not cheat at all. Cheating really ruins this diet for me! I also talked to my mom who resolved to not cheat at all either. We are both on the Medifast diet! It's good to know we are in this together even though we live across the country from one another. Those two conversations made dinner with old college roommates Trevor and Dominique pretty easy! I had a "chik'n" nugget salad from Coco Lin in Queens (http://www.cocolins.com/).

Today, I leave for Washington D.C. to speak at Democracy Day. We're trying to get Congress to renew the Perkins Loan which is supposed to expire in 2017 and increase the funding for Pell Grants. I won't be back in New York until tomorrow evening, hence the big pile of Medifast food on my kitchen counter.

Gotta head to class and then head to DC straight from there! I hope you have a happy, on-plan day just like the one I plan on having!
