Re: liveitup's check-in

I've been eating breakfast later this week. I'm still eating the same amount for lunch as I normally would, but my hunger's in check until around 5, unlike other days when 3 rolls around and I'm craving a snack. Ideally I'd eat dinner at 5, but it's not really possible to work a full day and have di...
