I try to order half sandwiches to cut back on calories. Chicken salad is usually pretty low. I prefer Paradise Bakery and Cafe - better bread and chicken salad - a half sandwich there is about 280 calories.

I'm not on the dating scene, but I do plan ahead for social occasions in which I know food and cocktails will be involved. If you know ahead of time, research the menu options and make your decesion before you walk in the door. A lot of those chain restaurants have HIGH-cal items, even the ones you would think shouldn't be…

I've been mixing mine with fresh pineapple and blueberries. Mmmm....

I change out my workout routine at the gym every few months - I switch up my cardio and strength traiing so it all doesn't become to "routine. But... lately I've been slacking in attendance even though I "feel" like I get a better workout at the gym. I attribute this to the fact that I've been taking my exercise outside…

I work in a call center, too.

Or get what you want, cut it down to the allowable calorie amount (in half, thirds, etc) and take the rest home for another meal the next day.

How inspiring! You look GREAT!

Are you busy for those 8 hours and are you making sure you take advantage of those 15 minute breaks allowed (by law) in the am and pm? If not, you may be snacking out of boredom and desperation. I used to have a full-time job as a front desk associate for a hotel. I rarely had relief during my shift, so I grabbed snacks…

Consumer On Heath highly recommended the OMRON Go Smart Pedometer for its accuracy. You can order it online, or I found it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It not only counts your steps, but it calculates the number of aerobic steps, the length of aerobic activity, total numbers of calories and fat grams burned. I have been using…
