sneak-a-peak: lean mode food diary

Our new eBook has a bunch of color pages. Aren't they cute?!?! Not to worry, the rest is b&w, so you won't have to use $10,000 worth of printer ink!We previewed our new online shop and food diary to our loyal journal-ers today. We love you all!!! I still can't believe we've been doing this now for five years, and there's still so much more to come! And even though I'm completely exhausted from these past few weeks of trying to pull everything together (new website, food diary, blog & online shop - and we did it all ourselves, thankyouverymuch) I'm really just so thrilled about finally being able to share it with everyone! My greatest hope is that you all have as much fun using our journals as we've had creating them. And if you love em, tell your friends :~)

eat this, not that! for kids!

usatoday.com published an article about this new book by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, Eat This, Not That! For Kids! I thought the adult book was pretty good, though I didn't actually buy it because I rarely, if ever, eat fast food. I wasn't raised on it, and I just don't like it. However, I realize that loads of people eat it everyday. So, as far as helping people make healthier choices goes, this book does a pretty good job. I like all the pictures they use, visualizing the healthier choice is a good habit to create. And I think paying attention to calorie content is another good habit, because it creates awareness. What if ALL restaurants were required to post their calorie counts on their menus? Just like in NYC.  I'm hoping it will happen on a national level. What do you think?
