I am having ice cream.. if I dont I am gonna blow up.. I know tmi but it helps a lot for me.. See ya tomorrow.. Carla

Hi Carla, congratulations on starting your new business, hard work but very rewarding. I did well most of the day.....tonight I've grazed on several things hence higher calories tonight.  I am full now.......I just felt like eating, missing something today I guess or didn't space my day out right and tonight it hit me (wanting food).  I'm not wanting carbs though so I guess that's a good thing. I need to go pull the 5 day pouch test, can't remember what tomorrow entails, I may be flying by the seat of my pants since I didn't prepare anything for lunch tomorrow; I may just do tuna to be safe.

"Mojave doesnt' SUCK! It BLOWS." LOL. I crack myself up. I got done reconciling our business accounts today. I was missing critical information...No wonder the accounts were off by 150,000 dollars! I was freaking out..I'm better today. At least I don't have to hide from the auditors now...

That a little bit to be off for sure.. that is to funny.  you should give it a wirl.. a lot of work but well worth it I thik.. good day for you.. nice numbers.. keep that up.. Have a great day and I'll see you later. Carla

Congratulations, Carla!!! That really is huge news! I hope you have continued success. My day was good, worked out this morning at the gym...that's what I'm missing. I need to work out early on my days off and if I want to do a class....I'll go back! That's what I used to do, so I might as well start it up again. I'm gonna try and do 1000 cals when I don't work out and 1200 cals on my days that I do work out. I'll see how that goes.... -Muscle Milk Light shake pre workout -Honey wheat english muffin w/tsp butter, 1 grapefruit -4 oz. flank steak, 2 oz. pork loin, 1 BBQ rib, 2 bites of okra&tomatoes mixed in brown rice -1/2c. spaghetti, 1/2c. meat sauce made with 93% lean beef -SF pudding, 1/4c. curried lentils...it's really good!! Estimated totals: Cals 1125 Protein 94. Did good with the cals and good with the protein. As long as the protein is over 90, I'm good. April

sounds like a good plan and you are right in there.. keep sailing that ship girl.. you are doing great. Carla

2 achieve one drinks, 2 eggs scrambled wih ff cheese, 1 part skim mozz stick, 4 oz grilled chicken with bell peppers/onion over 1/2 cup lettuce topped with 1/4 cup salsa mixed w/ low fat sour cream, 90 oz green tea. The scale was unkind this morning ( I was up 1/2 lb), which completely ruined  my day, even though I know it shouldn't. I am still down 4.6 for the week after three days weighing. Roberta

Dont you even go there over a half of pound.. that is just a bathroom moment.  You have done so great with the plan.. I commend you with sticking to it.  last day should be a breeze.. be well Carla

Congratulations Carla! I'm actually in the process of starting my own business too... lots of hard work!
