Rest Day

homework assignment

Read this article HERE on hydration and sports performance. This is a great article although I'm biased. The author was my professor and advisor at UT. Don't feel bad if you only read the intro and the summary. That's about all you need to know:)

Post comments and questions as well as a food log for today including the amount of water you drink. There is no pass or fail on what you eat. I will give you some advice and input if needed. The only fail is not posting.

  5. I realize I haven't been eating the best stuff... although I'm trying to (for the most part). I've been getting lots of exercising this week running around disneyland, california adventure, and universal studio...

    here's what I ate yesterday

    breakfast - scrambled eggs on mini bagel, cup of oatmeal, 1 slice of canalope, 1 slice of honeydew, 2 small slices of pinnapple, a handful of grapes, a tiny bran muffin, 1 small waffle, glass of OJ

    lunch- bacon cheeseburger (2 small pieces of bacon), a handful of fries, small salad with ranch on the side

    dinner- appetizer: 2 mozarella sticks, 1 chicken tender, 1/2 of a tiny wrap, a couple chips with spinach/artichoke dip... main course: small ceasar salad with dressing on side, smoothie (strawberries, bananas, non-fat frozen yogurt)

    total water: about 2.5 L

  7. sorry I didn't post yesterday

    Breakfast- 1 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup fiber 1 with blueberries. An orange

    Snack- Berries

    Lunch- handful of Carrots, a turkey sandwich with pesto, spinach, and tomatoes on whole wheat pita

    Snack- 1 cup of my moms homemade ice cream :)

    Dinner- roasted green pepper stuffed with turkey, tomatoes, onions, carrots, and I think thats it

    I don't remember how much I drank but I am weighing myself before and after workouts so I know how much water I lost so I can replenish myself. For example I average a loss of 2.5 lbs of water if I don't drink during the workout so I would drink about 3 pints of water to replenish what I lost from only the workout
