My opinion is.... 4-5 tsp of cocoa mix is not going to kill ya, especially if the rest of the day is healthy. That's a lot of caffeine (4-5 cups of coffee), though.. I don't know how you ever fall asleep! And, yes, a tsp of sugar, according the nutrition facts on my Domino sugar packs, is 15 calories.

I have the hardest time in November - December. We're talking 6 birthdays in November (nephew, bro in law, me, husband, mom), Thanksgiving, etc. Plus, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks.. and Panera start advertising their pumpkin lattes and omg, I love pumpkin lattes... Then you've got December which is 3...

That is one of the reasons I am trying to eat right and exercise well now - so that once we decide to have kids, I will be more ready for those challenges on my body, and I'll already have the habits down to set a healthy example for the kids! This is a great attitude! I read several articles yeste...

Yes, that's what I've read too! And since I've been exercising pretty steadily for the past few years, I'm not too worried. By next year, I'll have been biking for two years, so I think that's a pretty good foundation. I'm really looking forward to it :) Most of our debts will be paid off and we'll ...

lol! Yes. And the article of the title is misleading - though I suppose it's to get your attention to get you to read. Oh well! Since I may be trying for a baby in a year with my husband, I've also been researching exercising/eating right while pregnant. I already have the goal of at least just doin...

And since this is my own check in, I feel free to say that I don't see all the hoopla about that silly Time article on the main page. Anyone who thoroughly researches nutrition/exercise knows that eating right and exercising go hand in hand. You can't eat a ton of food, exercise a little, and expect...

Still 136.8 :) ..Even though I had a piece of cake yesterday...! No more goodies for me until Saturday!! We're going to a Mexican restaurant that serves awesome fried ice cream. I'm going to be green the rest of this week so that I truly deserve my special treat. I'm also just going to get three chi...

Julia Child
Hi Everyone, If you know me at all, you know I love cooking and am quite new to it. I am contemplating buying a Julia Child cookbook in the future. Anyone own any Julia Child cookbooks? Are they a useful learning tool or do you have to be an expert cook to appreciate them? Are ALL the recipes the ty...

I tried it his way yesterday. I think next time I'll DEFINITELY use egg to give more moisture. And some finely chopped up onions and seasoning. But with nothing, they were good, but kind of bland. On another note, however, making the little well with my thumb did avoid them puffing up in the middle....

But I don't think people should be encouraged to not exercise - though I don't think this article is necessarily doing that. I think it's encouraging us to get exercise in the course of daily life more than relying on the gym. Yeah, but I don't think people should be encouraged not to go to the gym...

So, I read this and it basically said to me... People are not using their noggins.. eating a donut because they exercised? A 300 calorie donut, while all they did on the treadmill was burn 100-200 calories. :roll: Of course you're going to gain weight if you are eating more calories than you are bur...
