I only joined yesterday, but want sooo badly to dig in deep to all your great helpful hints and tips.


Thanks Bunches!

**Welcome!**

I know you'll do just fine Danica

My LiL Tip I can share:
Try having something with complex carbs {an hour} before your workout, and save the protein (cheese/etc.) for immediately after.
If you don't have carbs in your system for fuel to act as a catalyst to burn fat, you will burn muscle instead.
Protein immediately after working out
will aid in restoration of muscle damaged by exercise.

EX. Before working out..Have some Oatmeal OR whole grain bread w/peanut butter, ETC..
Then, after workout, have plenty of water and a protein bar, or any other source of protein..(Cheese..Etc..}

Good Luck and please think about starting a journal!
You will meet so many people with the same goals you have..
You'll have Tons of support!

Hope ta chat again soon with ya
