carnitas are my favorite

but soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad for you so I only get them a couple times a year=)

Have you checked out StarBucks nutritional guidlines?


take a peek


and if you are trying to cut out dairy but miss cheese I highly praise rice cheese

nummy cheese alternative

melts like real cheese and tastes really close

Can we just go ahead and rename this thread "Caloric Doom"

because I think that's what it's turned in to.

I forget what I was watching on TLC last night, but it's something like the great american get fit or something. They were doing twins, and they'd give them 5 weeks with nutritionists, a personal trainer and other motivational things and a goal of losing a certain amount of weight. They had one set of twins where one was a pastry chef and she was craving chocolate, so they sent her to another chef that came up with better versions of foods. They showed them making brownies that had under 100 calories and 1 g of fat per serving and they only replaced the eggs with egg whites, the baking chocolate with cocoa powder and put mini chocolate chips on top instead of full sized ones. I'll have to find the website since there is supposed to be a lot of recipes and help there. The other chef had the advice of chewing gum while she was baking, because if you have something in your mouth already, you won't be as tempted to taste everything. wink

I watched one of those episodes last night too, the one with the female african-american twins. Interesting show.

These shows always make wonder: where can I hire a team of nutritionists, doctors and exercise trainers to do that for me?

If we all had access to that, we'd be a lot less heavy as a country, maybe put some federal funds into that hmm...

If you call your doctor, they can suggest local nutritionists. When I was seeing a nutritionist and a fitness expert my insurance paid for it at first. Now keep in mind I weighed aprox 400lbs at that time. But most insurance plans have a wellness plan now that does include some nutrition training and fitness advise.

Also, anyone have good suggestions on exercise ball exercises?

I need to start working out again. I've been pretty consistent for the last 2 years, but in the last months or so, I've gianed 10 pounds. And that's on top of a weight that was too much.

Obviously I should cut out soda... but that'll happen after I get tested for sleep apnia next month. I'm just too frikken tired anymore. No matter how much sleep i get, it's not enough.

On the plus side, I confirned that I don't have strep throat. I wasn't so sure after Starfest. plain

My exercise ball book is called

Simply Gym Ball Weight Loss Workout by Lucy Knight

I got it at sam's in a box set. It came with a ball and a dvd. I haven't tried the dvd, but I keep meaning to. I like the pictures and for the most part they show you how to do everything with very little confusion. It has about 100 pages of different things you can do with the ball, and most exercises have a "to progress" paragraph to make them harder.
