We just got peanut yesterday. She's a dwarf hamster so she is extra fast and tries to jump away from you. Anywho, if I could run like this hamster runs on her wheel I'd never be fat.
Swim workout hasn't changed. So I won't bore you. Its still effective so I just have to keep challenging myself while I swim. Let's just go straight to the tip of the day.
TIP OF THE DAY:
Today's tip has to do with meal replacements. A meal replacement generally consists of either some form of protein shake, smoothies or bars. You generally eat meal replacement products in place of a meal or snack during the day. Meal replacements are very easily available. The meal replacement I want to talk about specifically today are smoothies. Lots of people like to get smoothies while their dieting because they think they're making a healthier choice. And while drinking a smoothies is much better for you than eating a burger at your favorite fast food joint, some smoothies have almost as many as a cheeseburger. Ate you surprised? Many people forget that most smoothie establishments throw ice cream or sherbet. They also use juice bases to help thin out the smoothie to make it more drinkable. All this adds up to higher sugar levels which equals more calories. Granted these calories are from sugar and not from fat like the cheeseburger it still can get up there. So for example Jamba Juice's Strawberry Surf Rider is 430 calories for the original size drink. That is roughly equivalent to a McDouble at McDonalds. So if you do get smoothies, make sure you're going to get your workout in that day and don't combine a smoothies with lunch.
Hope these little tips and ideas make a difference for someone.
Signing off, get your sweat on and happy dieting
