8/31 after dinner

i did a lot of running around at work today, playing tag with the kids and whatnot...my lovely wife had dinner prepared when i got home and it was very good it consisted of this:
2 sloppy joes with 93% lean turkey meat: 320 calories
one slice of swiss cheese: 106 calories
2 potato rolls: 260 calories
2 corn on the cob: 144 calories
noodles: 200 calories
0 calorie powerade
0 calorie i can't believe it's not butter
Total meal calories 1,030 calories

usually i would have had a popsicle or some ice cream for dessert but i am passing on that for now...my wife and i smartly watched last weeks top chef while eating dinner...i am going to take my dogs for a 2 mile walk tonight before bed.

i need to get vitamins and may start taking all natural flax seed oil pills, i've done some research and they seem to be a good thing to take. read this:
