Thank you, I am honored, will post asap!! And Mr. Casper, I guess that I am making you write those fitness blogs whether you wanted to or not! LOL!! Thank you for the info, especially the one on Diabetes Control. After having the disease ravage me and my kidney's for upwards of four years, I finally have my blood sugar under control. Hopefully, I can keep it in check with diet and exercise, the metformin that I was taking was making me sick!! And yes, I read that wine was better for you, but wine usually leads to me doing kareoke and turning up on someone's youtube account!! Thanks to both of you! You made my day!! Hey Gina!!

So I switched to wine which I can't stand but I heard that its better for athletes. After doing some research there is something in wine called resveratrol which is great for your body. I won't go into detail here but this is the Wikipedia URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resveratrol. In anycase, I don't feel off my mark with wine like I do with other alcoholic delights. I have even managed to find a few wines that I like. I do like [Yellow Tail] wine from Australia, especially the Shiraz. Actually there are very few carbohydrates in wine unless you find one where they specifically add sugar. So a glass or two won't hurt you to much on your calories. But you should also be aware that your metabolism will not burn off ANYTHING until it has processed the alcohol out of your body. Alcohol can also effect blood sugar levels, which can lead to cheating on a diet. You can read a great article about it at this URL http://www.wineintro.com/basics/health/bloodsugar.html Its very easy to understand the way he explains it. Anyways Keep at it girls!!!
