Where do you get your whey powder? I've been buying mine online at
http://www.muscledepot.com/ProductDetail.asp?Product=4056. Any other good
places online?

I buy mine from Life Time Fitness, which is my gym. I buy from their
online site, though, which has quite good prices if you put in a
standing auto-ship order. Here's a link, if you're interested. You
don't have to be a member to order from them. (I'm giving you the
link to the whey protein specifically, but they have a bunch of other
products -- vitamins, supplements, bars, etc. I've been very happy
with the quality and taste of the products.)

Maybe I'm missing something here. The Prolab Whey protein seems much
cheaper at $22.49 for 70 servings. Lifetime is $35.99 for 35 servings. They
both have 22g of protein per serving. I noticed that the Lifetime has
slightly less fat and some added B vitamins. But for 3 times the price per
gram of protein?

Well, I'm not much of a comparison shopper :-). But I do pay a bit
less than that, as I use their 3-month-supply-at-a-time autoship
option; it's something like $29 per container. But that's still more
than Prolab, certainly. Still, it's nice to just set up autoship to
send me all the supplements and vitamins I want. And shiipping is
free.

Makes sense. Convenience is always a good thing.

(104 grams tuna (in olive oil, but drained), 1 big green pepper, 1 Tbs mayo,
1 Tbs hot chilli sauce

Water = 2 l
Sprite = 100 ml

My PMS week has started, and it's always the time when I crave sweets,
chocolate, etc. Yesterday I did all I could do control myself and not eat
the chocolate I had in the house - the only reason for it being there was
the BBQ on Sunday, DH bought it as a dessert for the friends' kids, but they
were happy with the yoghurt & cranberries semifreddo I made and didn't want
anything else. I *didn't* eat the chocolate, but I *must* tell DH to get it
out of the house, because I'm constantly aware it is there, and it's a
temptation (and no, please don't tell me to go and eat a little piece of it
to satisfy the craving - it wouldn't satisfy it at all, it would just be
worse!)
Yesterday & today I gave in to the sweet craving and had some Sprite :-(

Is this Diet Sprite or the real thing? I find that Diet Pepsi
satisfies sweets cravings for me. I know some people think that
artificially-sweetened soda increases their craving for "real" sweets,
but I haven't found that.

If you are drinking real Sprite, are you counting it in your calories?
