Ratting Myself Out!
I just noticed tonight that I'm doing something that may be detrimental to my diet. While preparing a PB&J for the hubby I licked the knife before putting it in the sink (without even thinking about it)...then as I was putting out some chips to go with this sandwich, I snagged one out of the bag and popped it in my…

Honey Expiration?
Does honey expire? I have a bottle of honey in my pantry that I know has been in there for over a year but I cant find an expiration date on it anywhere. Honey is kind of expensive so I'd rather not waste it if I dont have to...does anybody know how long its shelf life should be?

Which is The Better Choice?
Trying to decide on what to have for my after dinner treat tonight.

How Bad Is It To Skip Breakfast?
Some mornings (like today) I just really dont feel like eating. I always have my coffee but the thought of food just doesn't appeal to me until around lunch time. Is this bad or is it ok to skip breakfast?

Is It Really Necessary?
I have alot of respect for these people and what they are doing for themselves and their children...but is it really necessary to take it this far? Seems a little over the top! 90% of the food in my house wouldn't be acceptable to them and I consider myself to be a pretty healthy eater!…

NSV (With Pic)
Last night I put on a pair of size 9 jeans that I wore for the last time over 3 years ago. I didnt expect them to fit...I just wanted to see how far I needed to go to get squeezed into them.

Is It Ok To Just "Snack" For Dinner?
I usually take the time to make a healthy meal for my husband and myself each night. However, he's away on business and I just dont feel like cooking a whole meal just for myself.

But wait...no calories...no fat...no carbs...not even any sodium (although salt is on the ingredient list)......I'm confused. Just what is this stuff made out of??? I was…

Banana Chips
I've recently discovered a product called Seeberger Banana Chips. They are ridiculously delicious but I'm worried they may not be a good choice for a snack because I think they have alot of sugar in them. I'm not 100% sure though because the package is all in German which I cant read. Does anybody have any info on this…

I have a pair of size 5 jeans that I wore about 7 years ago. I have kept them all this time because I love them dearly and I've always wanted to fit into them again.

Subway...Good or Bad?
I've always thought that eating Subway was a good choice but now that I've started using MFP and actually logging in my calories, fat and carbs, I am questioning it.

Protein Goal
How important is it to stay under my protein goal for the day? Somehow I always seem to be over it even though I'm not a big meat eater.

Proud?
Was listening to a song called "Proud" today while running, and it not only helped me through the last leg of my run, but it inspired me to do at least one thing each day to make myself PROUD! So...as my favorite line in the song says..."What have you done today to make you feel proud?" Me...I ran for over an hour for the…
