I think today may be a forced rest day. I really shredded (like the new gym lingo?) my muscles yesterday at the gym. So much so that the ache in my hips kept me from falling asleep last night. :(
Who am I kidding? I'm gonna do the Elliptical upstairs after I put the little ones to bed.
Anywho, I've been playing around with technology for the past few days and I came across this:

The 'My Plate' is uber schnazzy! It's billed as a weight loss tool, but what it actually does is all the horrible math that comes with keeping track of calories, vitamin percentages, protein, carbs, cholesterol intake, sodium, etc. It even has a thing so you can track how much water you drink in a day! And how much you exercise, and how many calories you've burned! Convenient? Check. Free? Check. Easy? Check. Love it? YES! I actually got a little too excited when I found out how much protein was in my cottage cheese today (13g in a half cup!!!)
Oh AND it puts all of your data into fancy looking charts and such. So pretty.
We all know that I am not a dieter. Ugh even typing the word makes me want to eat cheesecake. But what I am is a nursing Mama who is training for a marathon, and the more I know about what I'm putting into my body the better. Knowledge is power!
