Comments: I worked at the office most of the day, but did take a brisk walk around campus, about 1 mile. I ordered the PS3 Move with some exercise/sport games included -- I'll set it up this weekend. We'll see if this encourages me to exercise. I have to say, the table tennis and tennis look like fun. I was low on calories for breakfast (again), but added the cheese at lunch to compensate. I am generally running under my calorie targets, but I don't think I've been below 1200, so I think it's okay since my activity level remains relatively low. When I'm teaching and exercising I have to be sure to get closer to the upper calorie limit.
Here's an interesting note from WebMD. I was checking on omega 3 supplements because I just picked up a bottle of Carlson Fish Oil at Whole Foods.
"EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids found only in fish oil, may have the power to dramatically boost your metabolism -- by about 400 calories per day, researchers from the University of Western Ontario report. Fish oil increases levels of fat-burning enzymes and decreases levels of fat-storage enzymes in your body. For the best metabolism boosting benefit, choose capsules containing at least 300 milligrams of EPA and DHA total."
400 calories per day? That seems almost too good to be true -- I mean that would be like losing an extra 3 + pounds/month. I had decided to use this supplement for the other health benefits in any case.
we're also using up odd combinations, as hoping things will move forward soon with the house purchase (still waiting on the electrical survey - looks like there was a reason he was cheaper than all the others...
smoothies are good for getting more fruit and veg in.
i'm being funny with food at the moment - going from very very hungry to not hungry at all quite swiftly! but i guess that's cuz there's someone in there taking up all the room... trying to be good, though - attacking a bowl of fruit&fibre with yoghurt as i type!
I'll post for both Tuesday and Wednesday -- been a bit hectic.
