Valentine's Dinner
Did anyone splurge tonight? My boyfriend and I are sort of night-owls, so we're still making dinner. He is grilled rib-eye and bacon-wrapped scallops, and I'm making garlic cheddar mashed potatoes (okay, those are from a box LOL but I did hand-wrap the scallops!). I cooked up the rest of the bacon for a snack. For dessert,…

What to Eat after a Workout (From Cooking Light)
What to Eat after a Workout Since squeezing fitness pursuits into an already busy day isn’t easy, it makes sense to use the lunch hour for double duty. Work out, then eat. Trouble is, there’s not much time for both. So save time by preparing a quick, high-caliber meal the night before. Three key elements come into play…

Food Scale
I would recommend that everybody go out and buy one of these immediatley! If you watch for sales you can get a good one relatively cheap (yesterday I bought one at Walmart for $14.99, its digital and comes with a plastic washable weighing tray). I just weighed up 3oz of left over roast beef for my lunch today and could not…

SPLENDA WE LOVE YOU!!!
Splenda is made by chlorinating sugar, changing its molecular structure. The finished product is called sucralose. The makers of this poison tout its lack of calories and claim it's safe for diabetics. The FDA calls sucralose 98 percent pure. The other 2 percent contains small amounts of heavy metals, methanol, and…

Simple Logic! Trust me people!!! :)
3500 calories = 1 pound It would take that much on top of your maintenance calories to gain one pound. If you are so inclined and have the confidence in yourself to enjoy a treat today, knowing that you will get right back on track tomorrow......then enjoy. It wasn't one meal or treat that made you gain weight. It's doing…

SPLENDA.... and other artificial sweeteners Im sure
Ok boys and girls... I finally found something here that backs up my dislike of synthetics... especially synthetic sweeteners. Even those that are advertised as "made from sugar" (splenda). I am constantly seeing people on here adding splenda (specifically) to their "healthy" foods and in my opinion this is counteractive…

Microwave Magic!
As a college student, I LOVE my microwave. Since a lot of us are busy, I thought it would be neat if I did a piece on cooking with a microwave. It's a followup to an earlier piece I did.

I need to ADD calories?!
Who knew?? I've only been on MFP for 4 days. No freakin wonder I'm tired all the time. I'm getting far less than 1200 calories a day! But I don't feel hungry. I don't notice until like 8 or 9 p.m. and I know that I don't need to eat that late at night if I"m trying to lose weight (and I am.) So, what should I do to bulk up…

How important are they?
This is my first time trying a "program" that counts calories. So far so good. I stay within my calories everyday, sometimes a little lower. I never eat my burned calories. But at the end of the day, almost everyday I notice that I am always over in my protein (and all my protein options are healthy lean proteins), usually…
