You know that commercial where the lady is standing in front of the open fridge at work and sees this massive raspberry cheesecake. She is debating in her head whether or not she should take a slice.

$64 for Ft4
Do you think this is a good price? I don't think the strap is included, but it seems legit. Another question though. If I do go with a strap, where could I find one suitable for this brand? Edit: Found it online while browsing. The seller has 99% positive feedback and with close to 3000 reviews that are good.

On Demand.
I spent some time inquiring people from Comcast about On Demand and they act like they have no idea what I'm talking about. One guy [please forgive me here...] was a foreigner and he had NO idea whatsoever what I was talking about. He kept saying "Okay.....um..." and "Can I have your number and call you back?" Then he…

Lessening Sodium.
I don't know if I'm on my own here, but I've heard that if you wash off the food beforehand, the sodium will be reduced. My uncle was the one to introduce me to this idea. He said that he would eat canned veggies and he was concerned with the sodium. He would get a drainer bowl and just let the water run over it and it…

Late at night and under calories.
Imagine you're under your calories. Let's say you're under 1000 and it's after 1030 at night. What do you do? Do you just avoid it and do better tomorrow or do you grab something to push up the intake? If you choose the latter, what kind of food option would you go with?

Weird Combinations.
I had the hardest time getting my okra down tonight. It sounded better when I pulled the bag out of the freezer and while it was cooking. After about thirty minutes of it sitting on my plate, I had to do something to get it down. I was thinking maybe some hot sauce. Unfortunately, there was none in the fridge. So instead,…

After spending so much time on the phone with grocery stores, vitamin stores, and the such, the only thing I can find from the acidophilus milk stuff is the acidophilus capsules. Would anyone know if this would classify as what is mentioned in the book? I've been reading it and trying to see how I could manage if I started…

Library Books.
I know a bunch of you buy books that have been released from Hungry Girl and even from the 17 Day Diet. I have been getting into reading again and I am in need of some health books.

Needing Variety in Exercising.
I love love love my tae bo routine. I love the movements and even the challenging parts that I just can't seem to catch up on. And for those, I do what I can and just make up movements that are close to what they're doing. I look like an idiot, but hey, at least I'm moving. lol I guess what I'm getting at is, is it okay to…

Ipod and no charger.
Does anyone know if the off brand/cheaper version of the ipod charger is any good? Mine grew legs and walked away and I am in dire need of charging it again without spending a bunch of money, but just want to make sure that it's going to work.

Food Diary.
Someone help me out here. I try to be very diverse in my food. I like to incorporate just about everything on the food pyramid into my day. Some food diaries I have been reading don't have that and those people are having better results. Am I missing something here? I leave my diary open, so please feel free to take a…

Limit to Exercise?
I'm not going to go overboard here, but I'm just curious. I have a pretty free day today and I have been in the mood to exercise. I won't always have a day like this, but I was wondering if there's a limit to how much you should exercise? I've done about 80 minutes of tae bo and I'd like to do something else. I'm going to…

Having an Eating Plan.
When you plan out your meals, how do you have it sorted out? Do you have a set number of grains, fruits, veggies, etc included or just throw in something and count the calories?

Refrigerating Mayonnaise.
As long as I have been alive, I have always remembered putting the mayo in the fridge. I figured it would last longer and plus, I enjoy it cold better. Until a year and a half ago, I never knew anyone who stuck their mayonnaise in a cabinet. My question is, SHOULD it be refrigerated? I made a post a few days ago about…

Going on a trip.
I'm going on a trip for a few days with the youth group at my church during the summer and I'd like to be prepared for when it comes. The food served at the camp is full of stuff I have been trying to cut back. I think the only good thing they might serve is cereal and maybe a banana or orange. I cannot bring a cooler and…
