BloggerWave - New Company

bloggerwave

So your like me, you have taken the time to put your thoughts and feelings, your ideas and opinons down into a blog. What do you do with it now? How do you get people to read it?

One thing you can do is to use your blog to get paid. Yep, you read that right, you can get paid to blog about a variety of topics. Doesn't that sound like fun?

The newest company in this vein is BloggerWave. They are based out of Europe, but are open to bloggers all over. Their goal is to be the biggest advertising on blogs in Europe! Great goal, and what does that mean to you? Well, the bigger they grow the more chances to blog about more things for those that are working with them. So if you sign up for BloggerWave now, while they are still growing, you get in on the ground floor and grow your blog while they grow, which all means more for you! What have you got to lose, give them a try!

Depending on what you read, recommendations are for at least 48 ozs of water a day, to half your body weight (that is, if you weigh 200lbs, you are suppose to drink 100ozs of water)...anyway, I have really got to start getting my water intake up if I want to do anything better than a measily one pound a week.

Wedneday Food Log

Well, its Wednesday already and I should have meeting tonight, but I am working the College Basketball game for our church tonight, so I can't make meeting. Just found out that a friend is doing the saturday morning meetings, and hubby suggested that I switch and go with her, which I am surprised about, I didn't think he would want me to go Saturday morning, so I just may do that.

Breakfast:
WW Key Lime Pie yogurt - 1 point
Flax seed - .5 points
Diet Big Red - 0 point

Snack at work:
WW Carrot Cake snack cake - 1 point
Diet Big Red - 0 points
** not that I was really hungry, but so much going on and trying to deal with it and work is getting busy, so that is why I snacked, not because I was hungry.

Lunch:
cheeseburger with tomato, and pickle from Wendy's - 7 points

I worked the concession stand at the basketball game tonight with the gals from church, so I didn't get to eat a real meal, but I did have my meal from there.

Food Log for Tuesday

Well, tax season has started in full force, which means that I am busy, busy, busy at work! Sorry I missed yesterday, but I never got the chance to get online.

Breakfast:
WW Boston Cream Pie Yogurt - 1 point
Flax Seed - .5 points
Diet Big Red - 0 points
** total points - 1.5 points**

You know, it may be a low point breakfast, but the extra fiber in the flax seed really helps me to feel full and I don't get hungry before lunch time this way. It's all about the fiber! Want a breakfast that stays with you until lunch so that you don't snack, bulk up the fiber! Fiber makes you feel full!! It's amazing what just two little teaspoons of fiber will do!

Well, I didn't eat lunch because I had to take my oldest to the doctor for his yearly. I hate this, but the doctor's office won't schedule well-checks in the late afternoon, they save those appointments for the sick kids. So I have to pull him out of school to make the appointment. I think they have it backwards, they should schedule the late appointments for well-checks, and the daytime appointments for sick kids because if the kid is sick they aren't in school anyway!

Lunch/Dinner:
McDonald's hamburger - 7 points
Sweet Tea - 5 points
**total - 12 points**

Late Dinner:
1 bowl of chili - homemade with ground turkey - 5 points
1 piece cornbread - made with flax seed added - 2 points
** total - 7 points**

Daily total - 20.5 points

Breakfast:
WW Strawberry Yogurt - 1 point
Flax seed - .5 points
Diet Big Red - 0 points

I think I have got my breakfast down to a manageable thing. This small 2 point breakfast is great. It fills me up and lasts till lunch and I feel good about what I am eating.
