What Are YOU Doing To Move Today???

I always eat a bit of carbs about 30 minutes before my workout....something like a chunk of banana with some peanut butter (cinnamon raisin is my fav) or some granola (I'm a granola addict).   During my workout,  drink water. Depending on the time of the day when I get my workout in will depend of what I eat afterwards.  Recently, I've been have 1 or 2 Kashi crackers with peanut butter or a slice of cheese.   See a pattern here - small carbs with some protein. I have never been a coffee drinker, so not sure if that's a problem, but I would suspect it would be, since my doc told me to stay away from caffine during the 1st year. While in the losing phase (and up until recently****pt my carbs between 50 - 75 and protein between 115 - 130.  This helped me get the weight off.  Recently, my Nut. has had me increase my carbs to 100+ because I burn through 60+ carbs when doing a 3 mile run  (90 carbs during a 4 mile run).  That does not include my boxing or warm up.  That's pure running). Also, look at the type of carbs you are eating.  I did not eat bread until recently and it has to be toasted and whole wheat/multi grain for me to eat it.  You want good, complex, carbs. They will stay with you longer, provide more fiber, and better fuel the body. Have fun!
