Our Mission

Grimm and Leslie started this blog because they're not accountable enough for their diet and exercise regimen on their own to document their journey and develop a community of support where the fear of your judgment can keep them in line to reach their fitness goals.

If you're up for the trip, there's room for more.

All Popcorn Is Not Created Equal

So I am watching the football playoff games at my fathers house when he decides to make himself a bag of popcorn and offers to pop me one as well. Knowing that I was running close on my calories, but also aware that my "normal" bag of popcorn from home runs around 50 calories - I agreed.

It wasn't until after I had eaten every last kernel and I went to check the nutritional information that I discovered I had been duped. This wasn't your normal bag of popcorn - oh no. This was a Pop Secret Movie Butter bag where one serving equaled 40 calories - BUT THERE WERE 3 FREAKING SERVINGS IN THE BAG!

So while popcorn is generally a lower calorie treat (in moderate quantities without butter!), you have to be careful of these little calorie traps. Just because you have experience with one brand of popcorn, doesn't mean another brand will be equal nutritional wise.

But I look at that Orville Redenbacher guy and he was so damn skinny. He knew the real pop secret.

Workout
No workout again today to being out of town. As soon as the sun comes out and it gets in the upper 40's around here, I will start running outside - I swear. Cross my heart.

Besides, I have the Workout Witch waiting for me when I get home tomorrow.
