I got a cold virus two weeks ago which pretty much made me a couch potato when I wasn't up and about with the kiddos. So, I gained a few pounds. I'm using a free program, Calorie Count which tracks my calories and weight loss on my toolbar. This has been so helpful to me. It also calculates BMI, exercise calories burned, your ideal weight, etc. It's a part of About.com, so you also get the benefit of forums and recipes if you need this.
I'm suppose to stop at 1500 every day.
Here's what my food log for today looks like :

- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005.
