Got Milk?
Do you use skim milk or 2% milk - or whole milk? Is there a nutritional reason for your choice? I use skim - started drinking it years ago with the "low fat mentality" and haven't changed - just curious if one is better nutritionally.

Ballistic Brownies from Bi-Lo?

Wine headache
When I have enough calories left over, I like to have a glass of wine at night to help unwind. I am not sure if it has been the culprit for other mornings (most likely though) but I had a headache when I woke up this morning and I assume it's from the wine. Any idea how to avoid this, I don't want to give up the wine, but…

Meals based on the weather
I do base my meals on the weather, but not on purpose! If it is rainy, cold, etc. I want something hot to warm me up inside. However, it usually a food that does not keep me full. I'm hungry within the hour. Especially since I have a desk job-so I have more time to think about it. But if it is sunny, warm, and a nice…

weekly calories
Yesterday I was way below my number of calories for the day mostly beacause I worked out later in the day, and had really healthy snacks and meals the rest of the day. Today I went over some. My question is, does it all even out for the week or has the damage been done? (does that make sense?) Thanks!

extra calories?
So I went a little overboard on calories today, but the program says I'm okay, because of all the activities that I put in for calories burned. (I bike to school and walk around a lot, so I'm generally super-active.) But is it okay to use those extra calories? If I'm doing intense workouts then, of course, I'll need…

But what I'm wondering is if it could be connected to something I've eaten? I've had 2 this year (in the middle of the second one right…

Diet Coke

I've also lost weight while drinking at least 2 cans a day. However, recently I decided to give up Diet Coke (and meat as well) to help balance my Ph levels and live a…
