Water--not just for bathing anymore!
We all know water is vital for life but yesterday, I heard a statistic that drove home how important it is especially when exercising, particularly during long distance events or when exercising for over an hour or more.

Blend a cup or two cups of Silk Milk Chocolate Soy milk (you can also use light soy if the calorie intake is to much for you) in a blender with ice until ice is crunched up. Then mix in a…

Way over on Fiber
ok..so I'm suppose to have 14 grams of fiber..but I do 11 just for breakfast..and then what I normally eat for lunch has another 15 grams. Right now I am 17 grams over..and still have several snacks and dinner to go. So..I think going over on fiber is ok..not like carbs or fat..but just checking. Am I right? Thanks:smile:

arbys salad
I just have to say how much I LOVE the Martha's Vineyard Salad at Arby's. Even if I weren't watching my calories I would love it, but since I am, the 402 calories (dressing included in that figure) makes it even better:happy:

Is this an ok subsitute?
Is plain yogurt an ok subsitute for mayo? I was going to use that for tuna or chicken salad, but I wasn't sure if it was going to taste funky and I didn't want to buy a tub of plain yogurt and have to throw it out if it wasn't going to work. Thanks!

Ate the Pizza.
Well I did pretty good I think. I didn't go over my calories eating pizza tonight. I had a lot of it also, but ordering it the way everyone said I think really helped. But you know after keeping the food to simpler items lately, it wasn't as good as I remembered it. I didn't like how full I felt when I ate as much as I…

Some Tips
1. Eat less. More often. Rather than eating large meals, chop up your eating into smaller portions throughout the day. I found myself eating 3 meals most days and having a snack around 3pm as well as another in the evening. That was enough to keep me from feeling hungry while still eating less in total. 2. Don't eat right…
