I. love your honesty, so thank you for that! Honestly, I love "Tony," as well. I'm just disappointed in some of his choices. And I suppose, he was as well.
Oh boy, I know what you're saying about "writer's ass!" I work out every day and still it's a struggle maintaining a healthy weight. I, too, am basically low carb, but have been dabbling in the calorie deficit diet. Too, I just reintroduced rice cakes back in my diet! Not so healthy on their own but if you slather with peanut butter and add fruit, or some other healthy protein, they're really filling!! ;-)
