I have to get back into those little changes that make a big difference. Maybe we could have a contest where we show how we save calories! Yum fresh spring rolls! Some of the tips are only helpful if you actually eat those things (LOL for example I save 200 calories a day by never eating Krispy Creme)
	1.5 lbs a week will get me to my goal weight by Jan 1 next year!!!

Step aerobics, spin class, muscle sculpt, walking Healthy Lifestyle Goal? Currently, to continue to improve my eating habits, and lose the 10lbs i gained back recently!	I just had spring rolls today...i don't think i really ever had them before! I bought them for lunch at school (freshly brought it from outside campus). They were delicious and very nutritious. It was wrapped in rice paper and inside was: Lettuce Bean sprouts Chicken Cilantro Fried onion(ok, possibly the worst part of it, but it was seriously about 1/4 tsp) And it came with a black bean dipping sauce and about 1 tsp of peanuts! YUM!
