Random Info:

&
Eating
You should eat before and during exercise!
Eat a little before your work out.  This should keep you going for an hour to an hour and a half.  After that, you should eat a little more solid food.  Otherwise. your blood sugar will drop and you will need to stop the workout.  Eating while working out for an extended period of time will feed your brain to fuel your muscles and your mood!
 
Remember to add these calories to your daily total so you don't go over your daily limit!

To the right is a picture of a plate w/ some odd items on it.  This is what your meal-plate should look like.  It gives you an idea of portion sizes.  1/2 Plate should be Veggies, 1/4 Protien, 1/4 Carbs.  The tiny bit of fat can be the oil you cook in.  (Be smart w/ the oils you choose).

Did you know?

The old adage of 8 glasses a day is no longer true. Instead, think about how much you weigh and divide that number in half. That's how many ounces of water you should drink per day. For instance, a person who is 200 pounds, should drink 100 oz. of water per day to be adequately hydrated. (That's 12.5 glasses of water!) An athlete with a high level of muscle mass should drink even more, about two-thirds of their body weight in ounces per day.
