I'm pretty excited...for losing two pounds in my first two weeks at CKU. I'm learning a lot and I seem to be making better food choices, even when I'm dining out. CK has been very eye opening for me. I went out to eat tonight with some of my chorus friends and while everyone else ordered potato skins, cheese sticks and other fatty foods, I ordered a garden salad (w/ vinegar and oil dressing) and a bowl of tortilla soup. I was quite satisfied with i...
