Morning Squidussion

He ended up spending his time dashing around questioning suspects and searching for clues rather than burning to a crisp and wearing straw hats daubed with amusing slogans as he should have been. Bless his little white cotton socks.

Damn it, I'm still too fat.

Here's my new diet.

Two huge salads a day. Pretty much just plain spinich or brocoli with chicken and some balsamic dressing. Two large protein shakes (60g strawberry protein, flax seed oil, stawberries, little bit of milk. Oatmeal or all-bran for breakfast. Whiskey instead of beer. No bread-type stuff.

Wish me luck Shack!

      I think if you're eating right, there's no need for eating a specific amount of calories. Healthy eating, as mentioned in the link I posted above your post, coupled with proper exercise will give you great results. No need to be anal retentive about the numbers – that just causes an excess of stress and frustration.
