Dear Members,
I am a college student who is currently trying to work out as much as possible. I am finding it hard to correlate working out and eating a better diet. Having less money to spend on the proper eating habits I am not getting some of the desired results. Finding that right combination of food I like and healthy food has been difficult. Good luck to all in meeting your goals.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
I was a runner years ago and I found out that running one mile will burn approximate 200 calories. It didn't matter how fast I ran as the differences in speed only varied the calories burned by 2 or 3 or something like that. It was a negligible amount which meant I could go for a slow jog and still burn off alot of calories. I think I read that in "The complete book of running", by Jim Fixx.
What that amounted to was that I could run 4 miles a day and eat pretty much anything I wanted and never gain weight but if I ran 6 miles a day, I could still eat anything I wanted and I would lose weight on top of that.
The object is to burn more calories then you are taking in which means counting calories. If you can afford to buy a gym membership, they will give you a trainer the first time you go there and he/she will teach you how to use the machines and will set you up with a program to help you achieve your weight loss goals. I highly recommend. You can also find all kinds of healthy alternatives to high calorie foods, right online.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do and let us know how it goes.
God Bless
