Mock Taco Salad
I have been trying really hard to stick with salads at lunch, but have a really hard time convincing myself that they are filling enough. This little trick has helped me for the last several weeks. Add 1/2 cup Turkey No Bean chili to the salad and mix it all up. It seems like you are eating a taco salad, but the chili only…

Has anyone tried Slimquik Cleanse?
I have been taking Slimquick for several months now. I really like the energy that it gives me and it does seem to curb my munchies. I am not taking it as a "quick fix" and haven't lost insane amounts of weight or anything with it... but I do find it helpful. I was at Walgreen's today to buy more and noticed that they now…

Darn workout calories
Never did I think I would complain about workout calories. But good golly already. I ran 5.4 miles today, not exactly sure on the calories... my IPod isn't calibrated quite right. It said 900...

Where did this ambition come from??
Yea me! I went running this afternoon and was planning on running 2 laps around the lake (2.7mi) but I for some unknown reason got ambitious and ran 3 laps, 3.4 miles!!!!
