I just finished the outline to my accounting final project and have to finish my push-ups and sit-ups. I was thinking how much I missed having class this week. In a way it was nice to practice the forms by myself with nobody to help with hints or advice, relying on my own memory. I do miss the group atmosphere though. I am looking forward to our first group session this weekend. I really enjoy the comeraderie that we all share.
I have a request for Steven though... I'm pretty sure I remember Tammy saying she was taking some classes about nutrition and health, although I could be mistaken. Would you be able to talk her into relaying some information regarding nutritional suggestions for people like us who are apparently forcing their bodies to do much more than they are used to? I don't know a whole lot about the subject but I have been eating like a horse since I started! Is that good or bad? Is my once a day vitamin enough? Should I eat certain kinds of foods to help build up my body? Things of that nature. Any advice would be most welcome.
I hope you all are having a good and productive week. Hopefully we will be able to have class tomorrow and everybody can make it. Maybe this will be the worst that old man Winter will throw at us this year!

ReplyDeleteEat clean, avoid junk food, avoid white bread, avoid french fries. Get complex carbohydrates, look for 100% whole wheat or whole grain products. Get brown rice instead of white rice, whole grain pasta instead of regular. Get lots of fruits and veggies. Get plenty of healthy proteins.
It's also a good idea to get whole grains and protein at breakfast. Try 100% whole wheat toast and eggs. Eat a big enough breakfast to keep your energy up through the day.
Dean, you're an athlete, now more than ever. You have probably often asked your body to do more than it was used to, but perhaps in shorter bursts. Heat of summer, cold of winter, particularly difficult assignments ... Listening to your work experiences, through all seasons, has made some of us work harder ourselves, thinking that there's no room to complain because you are setting such an example! Our bodies change as we get older, too, and don't seem as resilient to abuse. That's probably good! One thing on nutrition that I have always believed: listen to your body. If it's hungry for good reason, feed it. As with all living things, the better the food, the better the body. Eat often rather than lots all at once. You've said that you sometimes skip lunch due to work pressures -- I think that's something you'd want to avoid (huh, like you don't know that). Carry good snacks, perhaps? You can teach your coworkers a thing or two about taking care of themselves too, I'd bet.
