1.) Maintain calories at 1200 - 1500: 1334, umm...1762 a little over
2.) Maintain carbs @ 40%, 23%, 46%
3.) Maintain protein @ 90g 143g (over board again!), 110g
4.) Yoga 2 times:
5.) Crossfit 2 times: YES one down, great workout
6.) At least 1 long run
7.) Finish trimming vines and shrubs before the birds start nesting (The great thing about SoCal is that you get the garden year 'round. The lousy thing about SoCal is you have to garden year 'round)
8.) Find out why I haven't been paid: Found out:weather! can you image! actually since I work for the Feds, weather is having a big impact everywhere, just not here, right now
9.) Do what it takes to get my poor technician on payroll. The paperwork has been languishing for months and she has been beyond patient.
There have been so many wonderful posts and comments I just don't know where to begin, so I'll say WOW! you guys rock and I agree with others who have noted that you guys have kept me on track (even if I waivered a bit today - it's only one day and it has otherwise been a great day!)

CarolineFrance, I checked out your site. Your work is beautiful!
Hang in there, everyone! Hump Day's almost here
