Tips

Good job Amy!  Very impressive.  Keep it up.  I enjoy (don't know if "enjoy" is actually the right word) doing workout videos, so I got three new ones-they all came together.  One is the biggest loser's cardio max.  I did that this morning, and I was sweating and breathing hard 3 minutes into the warmup!  Anyway, Bob said something I thought was interesting.  He said that muscle burns more calories than fat...I knew that...and that your leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body, so its important to build those up.  I had never thought about that.  The whole workout he does with you really works your leg muscles.  It will be interesting to see if that works.  Also, on the Today Show yesterday this nutrition lady was talking about why some people stop losing weight.  She talked to one stay at home mom and told her to carry around a ziplock bag with her all day and any time she would take a couple of her kids fries or goldfish, put it in the bag...don't eat it.  She did this and at the end of the day had a gallon size bag full of junk food!  I do this alot.  I will take a couple of m&m's here and there, thinking just two isn't that bad, or I will steal a few of Micah's fries or chips thinking it doesn't really matter.  Well, I'm doing the ziplock bag thing today, and already I have about 30 m&ms in the bag, and it's only 11 am!  I'm sure my harmless nibbles really add up.
