What wonderful responses! I try to get to bed by 11:30 but I am up at 5:30am. So by 11:30 I am out of it and don't have any trouble getting to sleep. Between my dh and I we have an odd schedule and have to work at taking the time to ride together.

That Licorice tea sounds good. I never heard of it. Do you find it in the grocery store? I was just telling my friend about an apple and peanut butter. The Luna & Cliff bars also sound like a good idea. I think stopping in the nearest GNC to read labels might be good to do.

It is true, everyone is different and has different goals. I know I just want to stengthen my mucles. I am not really looking to build them.

You all gave me a good amount of ideas to work with and I greatly appreciate it.
