Eating before you work out
I go to the gym during my lunch break and I'm wondering if it's better to eat an hour before I go to the gym or should I wait until I've completed my workout. I have noticed that when I eat after I work out, I don't eat as much. I do try to have a protein bar before I go just to give me a push.

cooking food in microwave
I like to have sweet potatoes for lunch and if I forget to cook them the night before, I will cook them in the mircrowave. Does that eliminate all of the nutrition from the food?

Greek yogurt v. regular yogurt
I've been hearing all of the great reviews about greek yogurt and how good it is for you. Really??? Is it really that great? On average it has about 12g of sugar, 15g of protein and 110 calories. It can be really hard to handle because of its texture and tartness. I am eating Fiber One 50 calorie yogurt and it only has 4 g…

Juicing
I've started juicing again and I'm trying to figure out how to add my drinks to my food diary. I thought about just entering as an apple, orange, carrot, cucumber, etc. but I think that would add way too many calories. Besides, I'm using the juice and not the "meat" of the fruit. Is anyone else juicing and do you have any…

YAY!!!!!!!
I was trying on clothes last night that I haven't worn in a long time and guess what???? Yep, I was able to fit into one my most favorite pair of jeans without jumping around or doing a litte dance AND I was able to fit into a size 6 pencil skirt. In my adult life, I have NEVER been able to wear a size 6. That was great…

Sodium
I am freaking out right now. I looked at my sodium intake over the past 3-4 days and it absolutely insane. yesterday my number was 3,599. Everything that is supposed to be healthy is full of sodium (i.e, turkey sausage, grilled chicken breast, whole wheat rolls, carrots, etc.) Really??? I had a turkey sausage yesterday and…

Jillian Michael's Last Chance Workout
OMG, I just finished my first Last Chance Workout and it kicked my butt!! I am already doing the 30 day shred but it has NOTHING on Last Chance Workout. I loved and hated it at the same time. You burn a lot of calories. So, I think I'm going to do 30 day shred in the morning and Last Chance Workout in the evening.

Chobani Greek Yogurt
I've been hearing a lot of good things about this yogurt. Has anyone tried it before? Is it really good? I just want to be a product junkie and go out and buy everything that I hear good things about and then be disappointed in the end.

I'M HUNGRY!!!!
Okay, I'm allowed 1200 calories a day . I will have a mid morning snack before I eat lunch and by the time I get off work at 5:00, I'm sooo hungry. I usually workout during my lunch but I couldn't do it for the past 2 days because I've been so hungy. Yes, I do workout and gain extra calories back but I really try not to…

Exercise and Calories
If the goal is to burn off more calories than you take in, why are people telling me that it's okay to consume the extra calories that I earn from working out. Doesn't that just make the workout a waste of time?
