Success.

I have spent the past 3 hours working on what is the lean basis for a meal plan. Below is what I have written and researched.

Possible Daily Food Options:
This list is mostly geared toward eating leaner foods with a higher concentration of protein relative to carbohydrates and fat. The emphasis here is either for clean bulking or cutting down, depending on how much food you want to add or take away during a particular day of eating. Take calorie deficit/surplus into consideration for your goals.

o   Oatmeal
§  Honey
§  Nuts

We moved from Pasion del Cielo to the outside tables at Panera. It's about 7:30 pm at the moment and there is a nice breeze rolling in that is cooling the humid air. Jennifer seems to be concentrating more and is reading nicely. We'll go home soon around the time night starts rolling in. 

I have half a mind to go to lab after home and start working on some areas to capture so that tomorrow won't be so corwded with things I have to do. I might even sleep there. I guess I'll see.

I feel good that I spent this weekend  establishing the habits that will make my life more organized and planned out. I feel good.
