As requested, here is some information for you.
- What to eat before a workout: something light, but nutritious. Include a good carbohydrate and protein (fruit and a piece of bread with Peanut Butter).
- What to eat after a workout: protein, and complex carbohydrate (whole grain starches and a good source of protein). Vegetables are always good and "free" to eat.
- What counts as cardio: any activity that makes you breath out 20-30 times per minute. So count your exhales for 30 seconds and double that number. I am trying to do 45-60 minutes of cardio every day. It does not have to be all in one session if you are unable to sustain it. You can break it into smaller segments.
Hope this gave you some information. Good luck and wish me some! I meet with Ariel again today.

Way to go! Keep it up. They say that people who lose 2-3 pounds per week tend to keep it off in the long run because it is the health way to lose the weight.

I need to get me a heart monitor. I don't think I'm supposed to go over 140.... Is Wal Mart a good place to get one?
