jogging

okay.
so i just want to start off with an apology for being a huge FAILURE at the alphabet of music.
i think in order to be successful with this blog and try to write on it at least 5 times a week, i just need to write whatever i want, not schedule posts.
SO
since i've been so terrible to whoever is reading this, today I am going to talk about the benefits of...
WORKING OUT.
no, i'm not freakin' kiddin. i think you would been laughing if you knew what i look like. now, i'm not in the best shape as I could be in, i've been killing myself trying to get into shape and just be more healthy and lucky, it's been a success! (20 pounds down!)
not only is working out GOOD FOR YOU, but after a nice, hard workout you feel 1009324832 times more energized and awake (so caution: do NOT work out before going to bed or else you'll have trouble falling asleep, hence why i'm writing this post).

now, i'd just like to point out that working out right after you eat is stupid and yes, working out on an empty stomach is even more stupid. so where is the middle? try to eat at least 2-4 hours before working out! I guarentee no cramps and more energy for the work out! Don't forget to EAT though! You need those carbs in ORDER to work out. NEVER CUT OUT A FOOD GROUP FROM YOUR DIET!!!!!
in case you're wondering what you SHOULD be eating, i'll give you a taste (ha!) of what I eat on a daily basis.
9:30- Fibre One Cereal with Skim Milk or a Fibre One bar
11:30- Depending on what's in the fridge, either a Protein Bar or a turkey sandwich with fat free mayo and tomatoes on rye bread
3:00- fruit. don't give me this whole "but fruit has a lot of sugar" bullshit. it's NATURAL sugar. plus fruit is good for short term energy (much better than a can of coke) who is the one losing weight here?
5:30/6- Chicken Breast or Steak (the leanest you can buy) with a salad

and to drink? WATER, WATER, WATER! we're made of it, so why drink anything else?

i do weight training three times a week and cardio four times a week. if 20 pounds isn't motivation for you guys, i don't know what is!

so get off the computer after reading this blog, and get outside for a walk. you gotta start somewhere, right?
