We managed to avoid rain again!! Although the moisture would make the grass a bit less hostile!
Good job today guys. We're into week 2 and doing great. Keep up the hard work and your goals will be hit before you know it.
So, we're working on our pre-bed snack..... plan it out! The best time for that while you're just starting out is at dinner time. You'll think more clearly with a full belly and the popcorn and ice cream won't be the priority on your mind.
Here's an example of the Glycemic Index. Google it yourself to see that there are a bunch of them out there and they'll vary slightly. The main thing is, the lower the glycemic value the slower the carbohydrate is used and digested by the body... good things. So the lower the better. Wikipedia has an explanation like this Wiki. G. Index. There are plenty of resources out there, generally trust things like diabetes associations, educational facilities etc.
Post your snack you PLAN on having tonight... me:
-1/2 c cottage cheese
-2 med carrots
-6 almonds
Carrots are bad you say???? I'd say they're way better for me than the ice cream in the freezer!
See you in the park!
What a great core workout today! I'm still feeling it, hopefully not too sore tomorrow.
All this eating stuff is a bit overwhelming. I'm not a snacky person. I would be more than happy if there was a pill that I could take that would make me healthy and full! But, I realize that I do need to improve my eating habits. By 6pm I can feel my energy going waaay down. I'll have to experiment a bit and see if I can find find some stuff I might like to eat. Great info on the links - thanks!
