Hunger is NOT an Emergency

Just this week I had a breakthrough moment when I read that naturally slender people do not treat hunger as an emergency. “Most of us who struggle with extra pounds tend to view hunger as a condition that needs to be cured – and fast,” writes Judith S.

*GROAN* I have eaten too much

:o(

Man, I know my stomach has shrunk, but Geez!

Today has been peculiar. I have had a Kiwi fruit, 2 kitkats and a curry. I love curry, and I had half a plate and waited. I then could eat the rest. Things were going easy, and I was watching a film... I had seconds and now I feel like a balloon!

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I am stuffed. I haven't felt this way for a LONG while. But, its not pleasant you know? I have a pain in my tummy where there is just too much food there. Its really uncomfortable. Curry is easy for me to eat because its so wet.

Anyway, I am off to bed. This has been a bad day in a good week, so I am not gonna beat myself black and blue.

Interval Training - Great way to boost Metabolism

What is Interval Training
Interval training is training using short bursts of high intensity exercise that are separated by recovery periods of low intensity exercise. It alternates short bursts of intense activity with lower intensity activity. Interval training is a scientific way to train your body to burn more calories. You will push yourself beyond your comfort level for short bursts of time.

For example walk 3 mins then run for 1 min and keep doing that until your 45 mins or up. Gradually you'll be able to run for longer periods of time.This will force your body to burn more calories because when you do the running your body burns more energy. Giving your body this jolt will increase your overall calorie burning both during and after exercise. Interval training shocks your body and causes a greater increase in post exercise metabolism than regular cardio.
