I started my day with a visit to my massage therapist Angie - it was well overdue, but man-oh-man do I feel better. She hit all the spots that have been overworked in my workouts of late. The downside to massage in the am is goind to work afterwards instead of home to lay on the sofa. :)
I was reading an interesting website about fat burning foods today. It said foods that are high in protein and fiber are the best kinds of food to eat if you want to burn fat - it takes more energy to digest protein than it does to digest fat. So the more protein you eat, the more calories your body burns. Some of the proteins I eat daily now are fish or lean meats, almonds and dried fruits, boiled eggs, small servings of cheese. I have alot more reading and learning to do about healthy eating, its a goal of mine: a) to know how to eat the right foods, but more importantly b) to do it!
All this talk of food is making me hungry so instead I think I`ll take myself downstairs and get a little home workout in - as my calves are still sore I think I`ll focus on core work. I`d really rather lay on the sofa by the fire with a good book, but I know I`ll be happy I took this opportunity later!
Off I go!
