Hello readers: This blog will remain as is so new readers can read the valuable posts. I will not be adding additional posts in the future. I'm am now the new Chief Operating Officer COO of the Lott Group. I'm working on the new blog and on fund raising and it takes up all my time.
The Lott group will be training minority students to develop and maintain socially responsible businesses. Our first business will be a recycle project to raise money to clothe and train homeless people in the Little Rock Arkansas area.
Thank you to my followers of this blog. I will post later what my new blog is if you have an interest in the subject matter I just mentioned! ;-)

Pre workout fuel
This is my favorite part of the day; I eat carbohydrates a half hour before I work out. Back in my teenage days, we would eat jello out of the box on the bus ride to a track meet. The sugar helped us get our energy levels up and we sucked on oranges after our event. There are quite a few people who don't eat before a work out and ultimately they either pass out, or get weak and have to stop their trip to the gym.
Many clients ask, what should I eat? My response is, toast, half a bagel, slice of pizza and even a slice of cake! If you miss eating a naughty thing, at least eat it if you must prior to a workout. It's only fuel that will feed you're body and muscles, so bon appetite!
It's okay a half hour after you're workout to eat light carbs as well. Follow up with oat meal, a lean sandwich or a slice of white veggie pizza. The body is still burning calories and you want to keep that burn going. This is not the time to stop eating.
Do you remember the last camp fire you sat around? What happens to the flames when no wood is put on the fire? The fire continues to burn only if more wood is put on the fire, as does you're bodies calories. So keep the fire stoked!
So, if you are dieting and miss eating you're carbs; simply enjoy them before you work out! Next time I will discuss the importance of Protein drinks!

Love the heart you're in!
Sunday is the perfect day for rest and reflection. Especially if you have had a great exercise week. Pamper yourself, relax, go for a nice stroll with the one you love or call an old friend just to giggle. Breath deep the fresh air and revel in what God has made. No matter what weather you are experiencing, find joy in the small things and let you're soul be at peace.
I am at rest with who I am and where I am going. I love my life, my children, my friends, my lover. I never forget to dream of what may come...have a blessed Sunday!
