Britty has a bit more about his day on her blog: ***clickeh!***
********************
I have to rave again about one of my favorite Websites: FitDay. It's a health site geared to help you track your goals and current weight. This is not so much about losing weight as it is a general log of your health. It calculates nutritional values of the foods, tracks fat and calories, protein, vitamins, etc... you can add custom foods (like all the vegan ones!) and also keep a journal and an activity log. It's good stuff, and it's a challenge to get all the right vitamins in sometimes.
Today, I checked my daily progress and saw I fell behind a lot in calcium for the day. After meeting with my nutritionist last week, I was re-energized to focus more on health. (by the way, all blood work came back fine, so I still laugh when people ask how I get my protein or B12.) Anyhow, I was short on calcium, so got out my coolest kitchen friend - The Magic Bullet! I made a quick shake of:
Rice Dream rice milk
Silk vanilla soy yogurt
Calcium/Magnesium liquid supplement
macadamia nuts
cranberries
dairy free chocolate syrup
A few buzzes on the Bullet and I had a quick dessert loaded with calcium:
With Fitday, I saw I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day, so I wasn't concerned about the fattening macadamia nuts in there! They are too good to pass up anyhow! :)
If you are looking to track your health and/or fitness progress, definitely check out Fitday! It's free and it's very helpful.

aww, happy birthday, BJ!! such a precious dog :0)
Fitday sounds like a worthy site to check out, for sure - your calcium-rich shake sounds quite delicious!
Happy Birthday to BJ. What a cutie pie!
Just curious about your bloodwork. I've never had it tested for levels of B12, etc. My insurance kicks in in February and I'd like to get my bloodwork done. What do I ask for exactly?
Happy birthday to beautiful BJ!
I want to meet him in person <3 <3
I'm very happy for your great bloodwork results!
"...I saw I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day..."
Yeah, that happens to me just...like...ALL the time! Pfffft.
Seriously though, what a sweet puppy, I could just snuggle with him all day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BJ!! He's so cute on his new bed! :)
Yay for the magic bullet coming to the rescue with a calcium rich dessert. I love mine! I'll have to try your recipe with the CRANBERRIES...yum! I usually do a pumpkin or a blueberry shake (not together - though that might be interesting?)
I'm gonna go sign up for FitDay right now. Thanks for sharing!
By the way- doggies is the cutest! That put a smile on my face. :)
happy birthday BJ!!!!!
