Lovely Sunday.

My legs and feet are feeling sore from half hour jogging yesterday.  I don’t know what got to me, I get up at 8am and went for a jog.

What’s the best time to work out?

Based on The Body Sculpting Bible For Women, Page 49:

“We recommend you work out in the morning as soon as you wake up. Drink 16 ounces of cold water before you start the workout and an additional 30 – 60 ounces during the activity…. We recommend working out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach because you will burn 300% more body fat this way. In the morning you body doesn’t have any carbohydrates to burn. In the absence of carbohydrates, your body goes straight to the fat stores in order to get the energy necessary to do the work. Another good reason to work out in the morning is that at this time growth hormone levels are at their highest levels. Working otu in the morning will allow you to expedite the fat  loss process for dramatic results.”

I haven’t been exercising at all, the whole winter! After jogging for a while, I almost felt like throwing up.  How pathetic was that? I wasn’t shocked though. I know how unfit I am.

However, I was proud of myself. I did what I could. It was refreshing to enjoy the spring flowers while jogging/walking. 🙂
