Last week, I started a program called Medithin [www.medithinweightlossclinics.com] and I've been eating more healthful foods, watching my calorie intake and making a conscious decision to put good things in my body. 

However, we all have those moments when your only option is fast food. If so, it's okay! In Dr. Oz's book "YOU on a Diet," he has a few recommendations for healthier meals at some of the big fast food chains.

• McDonalds - Caesar salad with grilled chicken and a Fruit & Yogurt Parfait
• Burger King - Veggie Burger (no cheese) or the Tendergrill sandwich (no sauce)
• Taco Bell - Spicy Chicken Taco
• Wendy's - Mandarin Chicken Salad with reduced-fat ranch dressing
• Arby's - Arby's Chicken Breast Filet

It's as if they read the minds of bacon lovers everywhere: Oscar Mayer on Monday introduced five new hot dogs, one of which has bacon cooked right into it.

"No one knows bacon like Oscar Mayer," Jared Baker, director of Oscar Mayer hot dogs, said in a statement. "We know Americans love bacon, and we know they love hot dogs, so it seemed like the perfect time for us to introduce our first hot dog made with bacon."

"It is hitting store shelves this week in time for Memorial Day," Sydney S. Lindner, associate director of corporate affairs at Kraft Foods, told Yahoo! Shine on Tuesday. They will be available throughout the United States.

To commemorate the 37th anniversay of the Atari game Breakout, Google has turned its Image Search into an interactive version of the game.

To launch the game, type "Atari Breakout" into a Google Image search [http://images.google.com].

When the search results display, you'll notice they resemble the grid and are organized similar to that of the game Breakout, where you have to demolish the blocks with a bouncing ball.

WARNING: The real game is addicting. And even this simplified version is enough to kill an hour a few minutes of your work day.

Of course Taco Bell would start testing the most amazing breakfast invention ever...on the day I start a new diet/eating program.   *sigh*

Check out the Waffle Taco which has been spotted at a Taco Bell in southern California. It's scrambled eggs and sausage folded into a waffle. Naturally, it comes with a packet of syrup. At the California locations, it's priced at just $.89. The low price is typical for an item being tested.

There's no word if or when the Waffle Taco will start making its way across the country and onto a Taco Bell breakfast menu near you. But if you spot one near Madison, Tweet at me [@mikeconway03] so I know!

NBC selected six-time Grammy Award-winner and multi-platinum recording artist, Carrie Underwood, to perform “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” the opening theme for primetime television’s No. 1 program, Sunday Night Football on NBC. Country music superstar Underwood, the season-four winner of American Idol, makes her Sunday Night Football debut on Sunday, September 8 on NBC’s first SNF broadcast of the 2013 NFL season, a heated NFC East rivalry game when Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants. The opening theme will continue each week kicking off Sunday Night Football every Sunday night throughout the NFL season on NBC.

"I am thrilled to be a part of NBC's Sunday Night Football and am so honored they asked me,” said Underwood. “I have always loved football season, and it is so exciting to now become part of it every Sunday night!"

Since winning American Idol and releasing her debut album in 2005, Underwood has sold over 15 million albums, and placed 17 No. 1 singles on the charts. Her recent album, Blown Away, made history by debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart, making Underwood only the second country artist in the 47-year history of the chart to have each of their first four albums debut at No. 1.

“Carrie Underwood was our first and only choice to perform the Sunday Night Football opening,” said SNF producer Fred Gaudelli. “She's one of America's most popular entertainers and the perfect fit for our show.”

The now platinum-selling Blown Away album also debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, making Underwood only the second country artist in history to have three consecutive albums debut at No. 1. She is a six-time Grammy winner, a two-time Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, a three-time Country Music Association and ACM Female Vocalist winner, and a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry.

“Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” is set to the original Joan Jett song, “I Hate Myself for Loving You” and marks Underwood’s first production with NBC Sports. From 2007-2012, the song was performed by music superstar Faith Hill and in 2006, the inaugural season of Sunday Night Football, Pink performed the open.

Underwood is currently headlining and selling out arenas across North America on her “Blown Away Tour.” The tour, which launched last June, has played in the United States, Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Australia, and will perform a total of 112 dates by the time is wraps on May 23 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.

Sunday Night Football, which averaged 21.8 million viewers in the 2012 season, is primetime television’s No. 1 program.
