Something that happened to me
So I've been eating and exercising properly for about two months now. 4 weeks ago my husband and I changed our workout of running from a casual 2 miles to trying to do an 8 minute mile, and we did this about 4-5 times that week.

Calculating Restaurant Calories
Is there any rule of thumb regarding estimating calories in restaurant meals? I am going to a family event today at a local, privately owned restaurant.

We all know about the little voice inside of us that is our conscience. If you don’t know that, it’s time to whip out Pinocchio. What isn’t taught to us is that there is another little voice inside of us that is just as present (and just as annoying) as our conscience. But this little voice is our anti-healthy voice. Our…
