Protein Question...
I went to the gym at lunch today and happened to share my diary with a trainer while waiting for the rain to subside (I rode my bike there).

NSV Touched my toes!!
I touched my toes!!! SERIOUSLY!! Even in the best shape of my life, a lifeguard and horseback rider in high school, I was never flexible enough to touch my toes...this is MoNuMeNtAl! Tears welled up in my eyes at the gym. I know, it sounds silly, but I am proud of me.

Lower calorie cooking and the affect on my kids
So just wondering what the community thinks about trying a lower calorie diet and how it may affect the rest of your family? I know my kids need all the calories they are supposed to have a day because they never stop moving. I am lucky if I can get them to come inside in the evenings. I hope that my cooking lower calories…
