Bridal Meltdown

I was motivated, I was in a routine, I was eating right and hitting the gym, and then I stopped. What happened? I cut my thumb on my right hand which required me to get stitches - Ok, it sucked but did that mean I had to stop following my diet? No! Did I though? Of course.

My plan was to be out of the house by 5:40, so that I could get to the gym with time to spare to put my stuff in a locker and go to the bathroom (once or twice; you'll come to realize I have th...
