From laughing.<br /><br />My diet plan currently consists of a green smoothie in the morning, starvation all day long, some potato chips, a clementine or two and a bowl of ice cream. I'm losing about a pound a week. As soon as I have to give up the speed, I'll put it all right back on. And so it goes.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-68611001062508268922012-02-17T19:39:42.136-05:002012-02-17T19:39:42.136-05:00Laura: I believe the low nutritional value of the ...Laura: I believe the low nutritional value of the noodles in that dish are offset by all the protein in the peanuts.

Both cost about the same (the salad might be more, which tells us right there the world is messed up) but I fear for my self control.
