TIP OF THE DAY: CARBS – some are good some are bad, and some are just plain awful. The Glycemic Index is a great resource to use in determining how healthy a particular carbohydrate item is; the GI ranks carbs on a scale of 0 to 100 according to the extend the carbohydrate raises blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that fall low on the GI scale are considered “good carbohydrates” as they are slower digesting and raise blood sugar and insulin levels gradually and to a lesser extent that those that rank high. This link provides a search box to the GI scale. Pick those carbs wisely; your body will show it!
HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND! Keep your health and fitness goals in mind this weekend, so Monday isn’t a pain 🙂
MY DAY IN A NUTSHELL:
1. The realization that my “haircut-phobia” means my hair is ridiculously long
2. Max HR – 207; I think my heart rate monitor glitched; I was working hard but when I looked down and saw that, I nearly had a heart attack =X
3. All questions point to -> YES WORKOUT, even though it’s Friday!

Slower digesting carbohydrates really are the best. They keep you feeling full for longer and that stops you from snacking as much. Lots of people only snack when they are hungry so that helps athletes with maintaining or reaching their ideal weight for training and competition.
