My menu yesterday was fairly good yesterday - a bit low on carbs and high on calories. Feeling much better today after an unresidented 9 hours of sleep - guess I was just exhausted.

Started watching my calorie per pound intake several weeks ago to try to drop 5 lbs or so by about March 15. Weight today is at 173.5 - so I've lost 3.5 of those 5 pounds. Calories per pound 1701 / 174 = 9.77 (aiming for around 8 to 9.5).
