I’m Finally Coming Clean…(Part 2)

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Here’s just a quick follow up post to the part 1 of this same title.

A note about the gaining 37 lbs. on vacation. Now, I did this just for fun and I don’t recommend it to anyone else. But this was a 1 week vacation. Just 7 days. That’s it.

I managed to fit as much food possible into my mouth at every feeding time.

I ceased all physical activity (anything more than brushing my teeth).

And the result, I went from about 222 to 259. That’s right at about 37 lbs.

Just an example of how much eating can have an affect on your fitness. So the take home lesson here is: No amount of exercise can counteract poor food choices. Actually this same theme was in last month’s InHealthNW article about food journaling.

Protein Fortified Candy Bars

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Where are these protein fortified candy bars?

Well probably in your kitchen or office under the disguise of some name such as “Deluxe Energy Bar”, “Protein Builder”, or whatever other creative names there might be. Take a look at the 2 bars below:

Bar 1
calories: 250
fat: 5g
carbohydrate: 44g (20g sugar)
protein: 10g

Bar 2
calories: 280
fat: 7g
carbohydrate: 27g (18 g sugar)
protein: 13g

Well aside from the obvious minor variations in the macronutrient contents and total calories, Bar 1 is advertised as a nutrition bar packed with protein, while Bar 2 is known as one of the Snickers brand candy bars. Although not all protein bars are to this extreme they are not far from it. In addition to getting all of that extra fat needed for binding of the bar’s contents, you also get unneeded amounts of sugar which are in almost all protein bars, and most bars do not even contain a great amount of protein in them.

Stay smart, avoid the marketing gimmicks and know what you’re eating!

What’s The First Step?

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I hope your having a great day so far….
…and a great week, month, year!!

What’s the first step to creating an effective exercise plan?

Scheduling your workouts into your calendar to make sure you
actually do work out. Even the best intentions toward a fitness
plan won’t get you anywhere if you never follow through.

So go get your calendar, planner, PDA, whatever you use to keep
track of activities and for the next month plan out at least 20
workouts.

That means scheduling in a time on each of those days you know you
can get in a workout.

I can’t stress this enough, if your workout is not in your schedule
it won’t happen.

For example, I have a goal of reading a book a week. How do I reach
this goal, by scheduling in reading time each day, as I’ve found
every single time I just go through a day and hope to find some time.

….nope it doesn’t work.

So go get your calendar and start scheduling away!
