Bruce,
I cannot wait to order Kristina Turners book. Thank you for all your insight and suggestions. To answers a few of your questions:
-No, i am not Stephanie K as you noted.
-I live in the US, Chicagoland region. Winter time temps recently have been fluctuating in the mid 30s.
I generally wear warmer clothing and socks and whatnot to help retain heat, but i know you are right about the exercise. That should definitely help. I will also look into those warming vegetables you recommended.
I definitely must think over my college eating habits and find some sort of solid ground. It seems my best bet is to get to know individuals who live off campus and hijack their kitchen, eh?
Perhaps next year i will simply live off campus myself, problem ultimately solved. Only time will tell. Thanks again
Steph
