Hi all!!!
I'm back!!! I was hit hard with a terrible cold. It's been more than a week since I've worked out!! I'm soooo anxious to get back to the gym!! You know where I will be tomorrow morning!! :-D I'll have to be careful to pace myself instead of hitting it like a rabid pit bull!
I wanna discuss eating here. I LOVE eating!!! I've noticed a big difference in my body especially my energy level when I eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day instead of 3 big meals. By eating smaller and more frequently revs up the metabolism. The metabolism will keep going all day. After 3-4 hours, the metabolism slows down and goes into fat storage mode. By eating 5-6 times prevents this from happening. Also, you want to eat within the first hour of waking up which starts up the metabolism.
You want to be wise what you're eating. I always make sure that I have a protein in each meal plus good carbs and veggies/fruit. Jamie Eason has a great list of healthy foods (including carbs). Here's the link: Jame Eason's Food List
Plus, don't eat 2-3 hours before bedtime!!!! A couple small pieces of dark chocolate won't hurt. ;-)
