Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Baron VonFunburger's Haunted Castle Cavalcade
Wendy's chicken nuggets
Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate Sparkler Cookies
I also made these recently. They are easy and convenient to make. However, I thought they just looked like brown cylinders - not really all that attractive. Also, I wasn't a big fan of the crumbly texture. It was too floury, I think. Maybe these just aren't my kind of cookie!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 87: Do Weights Help You Lose Weight?
Congratulations on your success so far! I have been on my own crusade to slim down, and have found yoga to be invaluable. If you find the right kind of class (ie. power, ashtanga, vinyasa yoga) the workout can be very intense for cardio and muscles. It's a good way to work and stretch all of your muscles, rather than concentrating on a few major groups. Also, it's brought me a much closer awareness of the state of my body: what it needs and what it doesn't. Ultimately though, find a workout/class you enjoy or it will never last!

to those who suggested mark rippetoe and stumptuous - these are great sources for beginning weight lifters! smart, sensible and no-nonsense weightlifting advice with a focus on technique. i haven't read starting strength but i've meant to.
as a sort-of-new weightlifter, i've found rippetoe's youtube videos for basic exercises (squat, deadlift, etc.) invaluable! i also really like the way he talks, incidentally. he has the cadence of a really good, perceptive teacher. it's weirdly soothing to me.

With chronic low blood pressure, fast food has helped my health more than hurt it. I think of myself as a fast food fry expert. Top of my list are Steak n' Shake's, and fresh, hot McD's fries.

I've always been a sucker for McDonalds french fries...and just french fries in general. Usually accompanied by a burger and a chocolate shake. :P

Fries. Dunno why, I've had good non-fast food fries, but there's just something about them.
