Eat Yourself Skinny!!

I ran across this web page when researching healthy recipe ideas. This page had a ton of information. Worth a look.

Eat Yourself Skinny

Is it possible to Exercise too much?

One would think, NO, more work is better right. Well apparently not. Start slow and ramp up over time. Here are some signs and symptoms that you may be going too hard, too fast.

Now I will agree that this does not seem like enough food for a strapping boy of my size, but let me assure you it fills me up. I am rarely hungry. I am going to hold the course and continue to re-train this old brain. Thanks again for you help and support.

The IPhone / IPad application I have been using (MyNetDairy) also provides an evaluation my daily activities. I appreciate this evaluation because it shows me the areas in my diet that I need to concentrate on. The only issue I have with MyNetDairy is that does not post directly to Facebook.

Here was the evaluation for yesterday.

Highlights:
– Consumed 10g of sat fat, which is less than 7% of calories, reducing risk of heart disease.
– Consumed 0g of trans fat, which is less than 1% of calories, reducing the risk of heart disease.
– Low Cholesterol: 155 mg
– Low Sodium: 2038 mg – This is a tough category for me.

Lowlights:
– FAILED to include at least 5 grams of fiber in my breakfast.

So over-all, I did pretty good yesterday. Like I said before, I like this evaluation because it shows me the things I need to work on and improve.

ROCK ON!!
