Splenda: my new vice
Okay, I realize the stuff actually has hidden calories, but I'm pretty sure it also has hidden crack. I eat it on bagels with spray butter, in milk with vanilla extract, on cereal, oatmeal, drinks... My most recent obsession (and it may be nothing new to some of you) is mixing it in with sour cream and putting it on…

suggestions for fast food?
I know it would probably make more sense healthy-eating wise to skip fast food lunches altogether, but I really don't want to give up that extra getaway in my workday.

Yup, another question about meetin' them calorie goals..
So here's the deal, I've always heard that diet should be paired with exercise so that when calorie intake goes down, workouts can keep the metabolism a-burnin'. And this is my question, if I go under my 1,200 calorie goal by 300 or so, is it really that bad? I spend at least 35 minutes doing cardio just about every day,…

Oh hey!
So, I never intended to use this place for any sorta friends-making chit-chatting. No sir, strictly business here. Turns out I spend enough down time reading through random posts, I figgered I might as well slap together some of my own. So hello, from the majestic state of Idaho. This program rocks.
