WOW. That protein number is awesome today for you...And good for you controling that steering wheel that way! I didn't make it to that end of the valley today and didn't get a chance to even think about WinCo...I did, however, have ANOTHER hamburger. This time at our favorite 100 year old General Store up in Randsburg. We even went by the cemetery in Johannesburg for a treat of reading the old headstones from before 1900...Great stuff, sad too. Too many headstones are just not readable at all anymore. I make it a point to say some of the names outloud because I'm sure they haven't been uttered in nearly a hundred years. The veterans of the first world war are the ones I really want to recognize..Had I been a military person, I would salute.. Anyway, my goal today was to be over 2000 calories and I managed that. I may even add a dessert that will put me over 2300 but I'm not sure yet. The night is still pretty young.  Breakfast: Malto meal, soy milk (only half) and protein powder. coffee (of course) Snack: 1oz cheese stick and Oscar Meyer Salami wrap Lunch: 1/3 pound burger, only one side of the bun, 1 slice of cheese, double portions of pickles, lettuce and tomato.  Snack: 2 - 24 oz containers of SoBe Protein drink (while wandering the cemetery) Snack when we got home: 1/4 cup roasted green peas and a medium orange Dinner: 1/3 pound tilapia fillet cooked on a bed of spinach with tomato slices, mushrooms and jack cheese on top with Zesty Italian Dressing drizzled on with 3/4 cup tri-color pasta...It was yummy and we finished dinner before 6 pm so I know I'll need a snack.  Dessert: 2 SF Choco Fudge Sugar Cookies and 2 SF Wafer Cookies (1/2 serving). Totals: Calories: 2052 edited: 2252 Fat: 83 edited: 93 Carbs: 184 edited: 211 Protein: 155 edited: 157

We have a place like that.  It is an awesome thing to look at the headstones from long ago. Many say strange things, at least the one by me.  It is closed and way in the back behind the railroad tracks.  very small place.  I am sure they are some of the first settlers to the california area.   Well you had a good day of eating and your protein looks great.  I see the burger in the fat content but its hard to raise one without raising the other numbers as well..  Are you gaining weight.  lol...  Have a great one and stay away from Winco Carla

If you think about it, it's the one final spot that puts a permanent record of a person's life here on earth. People, after several generations will forget you. Even the most loving family. But when your name is written in stone, it will be around for hundreds of years. I think the saddest thing about an old cemetery is when they used wood as a head stone and now it's not readable. Apparently in this cemetery the caretakers put up a memorial for those who are the oldest and their headstones have gotten to be unreadable. This is part of our history and should be readable.. Nope, I'm not gaining. This morning 119.4...Still working it though...Maybe my calculations are off. I counted that burger as a 1.25 of the 1/4 pound burger, plain from fitday. I figured that's 5 ounces of meat and the whole bun plus some. It's really hard to get exact numbers. I don't need exact numbers but how much more can I do without adding sugar and empty carbs? I just don't want to do that (other than theSF Cookies to punch up the numbers 1 or 2 hundred).

Great numbers Carla, I dont think I ate enough considering all the activity I did.  The last 3 items I plan on drinking before I go to bed tonight.  I am putting in my whole fitday today,  anyone have any opinions?  I am going to take a tape measure and take my measurements so that I will see the changes since I am sure the scale will not be moving quickly.  I think I might change my workout times to the end of my work day, because I don't have to cut workouts short.  Maybe I will get better lunches.  Long cut and paste: I worked out for 95 minutes. I walked 4 laps, then I alternated running and walking for 24 laps, 2 more walking laps (40 minutes, walking about 1.9 miles and running 1.1 miles)20 minutes strength training, lower body, 3 sets of 12. Did 3 sets of 20 crunches and finished up with 30 minutes of stationary bike at 14 mph on the strength setting. Average heart rate was 144 Max heart rate was 179.

does that include your resting rate or what you would burn for being alive each day.  the concept is to be 100 cals below your total number to loose a pound a week.  Thats the math anyway.  Love that program you are using.  I will have to check it out. Yes you had a light eating day but we all have those occassionally.  Keep up the great work with the exercise.  You may not see a weight drop but you will see the muscle definition you are getting. Carla

Ok Ms. Control, lol.......not a bad day for you, higher than some day but it is all good.  Darn you and I have too mu*****ommon, it's called "obessive", rofl. Not a very good number day for me, too low.  The chicken last night was way to dry, had to stop eating.  Really needed to add a shake last night but it wasn't going to happen.  Yikes, look at that iced latte, guess I should of figured the carbs would be high, with regular milk.  Of course, it's better than a McD FF and Hamburger.  Took the boys to get a bite to eat after my nieces softball game.
