Mood/Other Notes = Went out to dinner at Ted's Montana Grill -- my most favorite place EVER! I got the baked sweet potato (YUM!!!!!) and the Bison Burger...did I ever mention how much I LOVE bison? But yes, all of it is completely prepared NOT CLEAN, so hence the wacky stats. But, in all honesty, I don't regret a moment of it. Mood-wise -- positive! Had an awesome day at work, got to spend some time with Fiancé....'twas good!

Mood/Other Notes = Worked a 12 hour day -- certainly have felt the pressure of working 34 hours in the past 3 days. Oy very tired. Trying to get enough sleep. Mood is pretty positive, though, just sleepy.

Day 33/02.03.09:

BMR + Calories Burned = (1391+ 0) 1391

Mood/Other Notes = Worked an 11 hour day, and didn't eat enough calories during the day (MUST find more time to eat), so when I came home, everything looked AMAZING. Soooo....1839 calories it was. I've also been doing a little cruddy on my protein lately. HOWEVER, I have noticed that my body is getting leaner. I should really do those measurements sometime.

Day 32/02.02.09:
Morning Weight = 125.2lbs!
BMR + Calories Burned = (1391+ 366) 1757

Sodium = 1,424mg
Fruits/Veggies = 5!
Hours of Sleep = 6 hours
Mood/Other Notes = Not very positive at work today -- didn't have a lot of motivation. I was exhausted -- but then again, yesterday I did NOT eat well due to Superbowl Sunday. I suppose that's why they always write articles as to NOT go all-out. I did get some good, hard sleep, though. That was the biggest plus. My attitude is still sort of "down," I don't feel like I have a whole lot of time to myself.
