Rant: Counterproductive Employee Wellness Program
My company switched to a new wellness program provider. Whenever I complete goals or assignments in the program, I get $$$, so of course I am farming it for all it is worth. To my complaint though, there is so much fatlogic nonsense in it. A few things that caught my eye was that it was flat out said that you shouldn't…

Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
I made this cheesecake on Thursday night. It was AMAZING. My husband is a big fan of cheesecake, but we don't really eat it all that much because it is hard to justify 500-800 cals for a slice and then we can't finish it anyway, so it is a waste. This recipe was already pretty light at 290 cals for 10 servings, but I was…

Kroger Brand Precooked Bacon
I bought some because it was on sale and now I am regretting it. The slices are beyond paper thin. It says a serving is 3 pieces or 15g. I put one piece on the scale and got the princely sum of 2g...barely. Each piece should be 5g or more than double the actual amount. I'm annoyed because I feel pretty ripped off. The…

Lateral Deltoid Help
My triceps and biceps are leaving my lateral delts in the dust, so I am developing very uneven looking upper arms. I need some advice as to what/how I can lift to fix this. I only have access to dumbbells, so don't suggest anything that requires a bar.
