Well everytime I tried to get on my pc froze.  It goes through periods like this.. very frustrating to say the least.  Wish I knew what its problem was. Oh well.. good but tiring day to say the least.. this new business is working my butt off.  I am working more than I am charging cause much of my time is set up and stuff I cant bill for but I am still doing ok in the billing area.  Just dropped off a few bills today for two weeks worth of work that is more than I make a month at my regular job.  Very sweet.  I sign another contract tomorrow so that will be some more cash in my pocket and got two more big ones coming next week for some grant proposals.. those make sweet money and all the hard work is done so it's a copy paste type thing..lol.. whoo hoo.  So that is my new business.  but I am tired.. i admit that much.   Thought I ate more than I did today.  Did the numbers and sat and tried to get it to raise but no luck.. here was my day

Good day as always for you.. you seem to have a great system in place to eat each day.. with all that exercise I know you gotta feel great Carla

Here is mine for yesterday, I'm happy with it.  Ok Carla I like using fitday and have so many customized foods in there but I'm really digging your cool little chart and the way you can list your food by time you ate it (breakfast, snack, lunch, etc) so tell me what are you using and is it free, lol.  Might want to try something different since I'm such a visual kind of person, haha.

I use sparkpeople and I have a bunch of custom food as well.. I do love the way it breaks it down though.. you had a rocking good day.  I always wish I could get my numbers up there but sometimes it just doesnt happen.. great day for you Carla

OH wow. That's a cool chart..I"m in chart envy right now. I chart just about everything at work but my personal stuff? not so much.  Big news. My family is just going to plotz this summer. The big bomb I'm going to drop on them? That our common patriarc was in the midst of an ugly divorce when he killed himself in 1906...Mmmm. I may just get tossed out of the family for this one. I can not believe my luck!  Thursday: Breakfast: malto meal, TVP (2), soy milk, coffee Snack: 1 oz cheese stick, medium orange Lunch: 4 oz sliced top sirloin on a salad (sort of-) 1/2 a roma tomato, 1/2 a medium zucchini and 2/3 of a cup of chopped celery, with Kraft Free Zesty Italian dressing Snack: 1 medium apple, 1 dannon yogurt (4 oz) and 1/4 cup TVP Snack: 2 pc of SF Chocolate Covered Caramels (2/3 of a serving) last ones I had so I won't do those again for a while Snack: 1 pure protein bar, 20 g protein Dinner: 2 beef tacos (figure 1 cup, pretty small) Dessert: 2 servings of kettle corn (shared with my son so I didn't have all three servings) Totals for the day: Calories: 1942 Fat: 70 Carbs: 201 Protein: 132 Protein was alittle low so that's why the protein bar. Calories were alittle low so that's why the kettle corn (and cuz I wanted it!) I'm getting so that I can tell by the end of the day at work if I'm going to need to add something. This is great practice for when I go on vacation this summer and can't even check in (unless I buy a laptop...which I may have to).  Have a great day. I plan to....

lol.. I know the feeling.. I have one to check in with as well.. now how sad is that.  still a respectable day.  keep up the good work.. and make sure there is room between you and the family before you tell them..lol Carla
