  • Definitely fast food. I had a "Screw the diet" day yesterday & can't believe how many more calories I would have ingested had I not been paying attention! I easily could have eaten 3000+ per day without blinking.

  • I will listen to anything upbeat- I have my favorite Pandora station that has everything from Lady Gaga and Pink to Metallica & Slayer playing on it.
