Leftover ham
I'm trying to figure out what to do with the leftover ham from Christmas dinner. I wanted to make some sort of cassarole but everything I am finding is unhealthy. I may just make omletts for dinner tonight if I can't come up with anything else. Any ideas?

Skim Milk
I have read recently that skim milk is not the best choice for weight loss. I have read that they have to add powdered milk to it just so it's not blue in color. I believe I am going to try switching to 2%....anyone else heard this? And what do you drink?

Ellipical Machine
How accurate are calorie counters on the machine's at the gym. According to the ellipical machine, I burned 500 calories in 35 minutes tonight. Do you think that's accurate? I was moving pretty fast and doing intervals....I figured even if it was 100 calories off, I still kicked a** tonight!
