Lessons Learned:
I learned a lot yesterday. Mostly that I was very hungry in the evening, despite my very filling dinner. I had really planned to "save" all earned APs this week, since I am in the hole with my WPA right now. But I did get that number down a little bit (from -18 to -16.5) so I'm progressing. :-)

I need to learn what's making me eat so late at night after a filling and healthy day. Why am I hungry for more bread? Am I really hungry, or is it just my emotions tricking me? I will try to push through today with eating my 25 DP, getting in all 9 GHGs again, and earning 8 AP. I can do this!!
