Stories at Trinity Moon Saddle Tramp - (47 pages) Her smile instantly died as she spied the pair of red panties blowing in the summer breeze from the clothesline next to the house. Worse yet, Vic had the audacity to join them and when she turned, his eyes were fixed upon her panties. To hide her embarrassment, she tensed her lips and told him in a tight tone, "Cameo's." Vic stifled a laugh, knowing full-well who the owner of those hot, red panties were. Cameo couldn't fit into them if her life depended upon it. Even so, he made a note to do his own laundry during his stay. Wouldn't be good for the cowboys to see his undergear flying in the breeze. click to continue The Chimney Sweeper - {13 pages) Accident-prone Heather gets more than she bargained for during a visit to her grandfather's country home. click to continue

Calories, Carbs or Fat Grams?Diets here - diets there - diets everywhere these days. One of the most popular diets touts counting carb grams for weight loss while a few decades ago, there was a popular fad diet where the dieter only needed to keep a lid on fat grams in order to achieve weight loss success. Although both methods can help an individual achieve weight loss, when everything is said and done - the body recognizes and uses calories to determine weight. Simply put, when we consume more calories (energy) than the body requires to sustain its current weight, the excess energy (calories) is stored in the fat cells - even if those excess calories are derived from an innocent-looking carrot. Oddly enough, when it comes to processing calories the body doesn't pause and say, "Hey, these calories are from a donut so they will get stored in the fat cells - while the calories from the carrot will be burned." Sad but so - no matter what food or beverage that we consume after our body has reached that magic number for the day, the excess energy gets stored in the fat cells. To further complicate matters, that magic number of calories per day changes from day-to-day and is impacted by the following: - current weight and body composition, including muscle mass and frame size - activity level - age - gender - ethnicity An ideal recipe for weight loss is to monitor all three - calorie intake, carb choices and fat intake. Opt for complex carbs over simple carbs, keep saturated fats to a minimum and most importantly, keep your recommended calorie intake on track. |

I don't see how they managed to swallow your shallow act," she mused incredulously, trying desperately to cope with the lie that Kade had managed only moments ago to the three strangers.
