I Was A Badder Boy Than I Thought!
I just came across this story about just how bad Chinese food can be for you. Read it here. I think we've always known that Chinese food wasn't the greatest thing for you, but just look at what a plate of General Tso's Chicken (My favorite!)has, calorie wise and sodium wise. 1300 CALORIES and 3200 GRAMS OF SODIUM! I'm trying to hold my daily calories to around 1600, and the average person needs to eat less that 2200 or so grams of sodium a day, so a plate of my favorite Chinese dish is enough to last me a whole day's worth of calories and almost 2 days worth of sodium! YIKES! I've really got to cut my Chinese intake back to about once a month...(Sigh)

Last night, I took my 2 boys out to dinner. I told them we could go anywhere but Chinese and fast food! We chose a high quality Mexican place here in town, and I was able to stay well within my WW limits for the evening.
Nice stuff you've got here. If you need a little community in trying to lose weight, check us out over on fatbloggers.net. We'd love to have you aboard.
Thanks! I'll check it out! I think Mexican, as a whole, is better. One of the ones here in town has a child's sized taco salad, which is still plenty filling, and they just charge $1 more for an adult to order it, so if I go I just order off the kids' menu. It saves some money, too!
