Another Half Marathon Down

Just finished the SunTrust National Half Marathon this past weekend. Legs are still a little bit sore but it feels good.

FitDay.com

Yesterday, one of my co-workers informed me of an online calorie counter: FitDay.com. I've tried counting calories before on a simple notepad but was always frustrated with the length of time it took me to jot down what I ate that day. Fortunately, FitDay.com makes it easy with a simple search feature that allows you to select what food you ate and the quantity (lbs, kg, cups, etc). Although the user interface could use some work, I've inputed what I have eaten for the day and whatever activies I've done and it does the rest of the work for me.

Discover's Spending Analyzer

Recently, I've been playing around with Discover Card's Spending Analyzer. With some nifty animation, I am able to see my spending displayed in a pie chart format for the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 months.

And I've realized that our spending shoots up in November and December. I need to find a way to start saving for those months.

It's Tuesday and I need to work on my Thesis
