Food To Chew On:

Monday – Believers Need to Be Born Again

 

John 3:3 (NKJV)

 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

 

Thought For The Day:

Have you been born again? When did it happen? What were the results in your new relationship and your involvement in Christ’s mission in society?

 

Merry Monday, This is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it….. It is a blessing to see another day and have mobility of our limbs…. Now it is time for us to get moving and moniteur our food intake….

Basic Strength Training Best Practices

These are typically great with a 4 Day Split scenario:

2 Days in a row, one day off, 2 days in a row again

These are the very basic combinations and the combos are endless depending upon your specific workout times, weekly progress, and personal goals. Map it out. Ink it to paper at least 2 weeks at a time. It will help you define your workouts and it will provide you with a solid “Self” Workout Journal to chart your progression.

The last big key for starting your strength training workouts is to be as consistent as you possibly can.  The same workout times and training schedules will help your body begin to regulate.  Remember every time you work out you are adding fuel to your metabolic furnace.  Your metabolism spikes and your system begin to burn calories!   When you perform weight resistance exercises which build muscle, not only do you burn calories during the duration of your workout, you also burn about 100 more calories over the next 24hr period.  Crucial:  Be sure you feed your muscle need within 30 minutes of your workout with a serving of protein.  Take a protein shake along with you to the gym for easy access!

A Healthy Menu For

Monday

 Starting your week with a boiled egg, a toasted whole wheat English muffin with a tablespoon of fruit spread and an orange for breakfast, a bean burrito for lunch, and three ounces of baked white fish, a cup each of zucchini and red peppers and a small baked potato for dinner.

 For vegetarians I recommend a cup of oatmeal with two tablespoons of wheat germ, an apple or pear and a cup of skim milk for breakfast. Try two cups of salad greens topped with a cup of mixed-fruit salad and a tablespoon of either balsamic or raspberry vinegar or fresh lemon juice for lunch. For  dinner, eat a cup of cooked whole-wheat pasta with tomato sauce and four soy "meatballs," a cup of steamed broccoli and a half cup of orange slices. End your evening with a snack of eight tortilla chips and a quarter cup of salsa.
