Venice Nutrition

As you know Twin 2 is doing a Fast plan and last month when we went to Moncton I found a book at Chapters that was about Venice Nutrition.  I read it and it talked about eating to keep your blood sugar level as that will curb snacking.  You eat every 3-4 hours with a meal of Fat, Protein & Carbs depending on your body.  I joined online and plugged in my weight and measurements and these are the recommendations it has for me to aide in reaching my goal.

 

Workout Program per Venice Nutrition is:
 

Stretching - 4 days per week, 15 min per session

 

Cardiovascular Training - 4-5 days per week, 30-45 min per session

 

Intensity Training - HIIT 2 days a week, 30 min session

 

Strength Training - 4-5 days a week

Here is an example of my Workout Schedule below.  The Fat Burning Cardio may be either 

biking, light jogging or walking with the dogs.

 

Friday - Stretch (15 min), Weights/Core - JM video (30 min) & Fat Burning Cardio (30-45 min)

 

Saturday - Stretch (15 min), Weights/Core - JM video (30 min) & Fat Burning Cardio 

(30-45 min)

 

Sunday - Stretch (15 min), HIIT - Skipping (10 min), HIIT video (20 min), Fat Burning Cardio - JM Cardio video (30 min)

Monday - JM video (30 min)

 

Tuesday - Stretch (15 min), Weights/Core - JM video (30 min) & Fat Burning Cardio (30-45min)

 

Wednesday - Stretch (15 min), HIIT - Skipping (15 min) , HIIT video (15 min) & Fat Burning Cardio - JM Cardio video (30 min)

It also breaks down the Protein, Carb and Fat nutrition for your meals and mine are as follows (per meal):

 

Protein: (40%) 25 g

Carb: (35%) 22 g

Fat: (25%) 7 g

Calories / Meal: 250

Sleep Recommendation is 8 hrs.

Water Recommendations: Drink at least 8oz of water with every meal and 8 oz of water in 

between each meal.

As stated above it breaks down the nutrition content and we will post of an example meal plan that it gave me.

I will do a re-measure in a month's time and see if there is any progress.  Hopefully I will stick with this and see some results!

Happy Birthday!

We are now pushing 40! Happy Birthday to us :-)

Wha'd Up Wednesday

Summer has finally arrived.

Canada Day was our first day we got to lay in the sun and got BURNT but that turned into the colour brown.  We didn't end up heading to the fireworks.  The ones in the city were cancelled as just as we packed up from tanning the rain started.  They were still on in our community but we're getting old and can't stay up that late (9:30 pm).  Terrible.

This past weekend the parents made a quick trip up.  On Saturday morning Pa showed up to Twin 2's house with his power saw and cut down some dead trees.  It was a hot one even in the morning so he only cut a few down (the ones that we really noticed) and will do the rest in the fall.  This has been Pa's job for the past 35+ years and it's the first time any of us have actually seen him do what he does to put food on the table.

After Pa was done we had a snack and then the whole fam (including Ma & Sister Wi) headed to the driving range to hit some balls.  Sister Wi and I each wanted to take a pic of us all there but we left our phones in the car.  After that we headed to Twin 1's for some dinner.  Ma & Pa then headed home and we ran some errands.

On Sunday it was a beautiful day (minus big black clouds here and there) so we tanned at Twin 2's house.  The colour is coming along nicely.  Twin 1 was eating her lunch and Lou decided he wanted some too.  He's not usually such a piggy.

There's a little bit of sun up there somewhere.

Guess what tomorrow is!!??  OUR BIRTHDAY!!!! 

   

Tip Tuesday

One of the best ways to limit dehydration during a run is to drink enough before it.  With the exception of alcohol, which is dehydrating, all beverages, including water, sports drink, coffee, tea, juice, and milk, can help keep you hydrated throughout the day.

Motivational Monday

Twin 2 is heading to Montreal today to see Taylor Swift in concert.  Hopefully this concert will go better than last time she saw Swifty which was years ago at Cavendish.  She went with her BFF and her two nieces.  It was an outdoor concert and once Swifty got on stage the crowd rushed the stage and squished her and one of the little girls she was with.  The little girl was nervous and wanted to get out and the only way out was for them to make their way over to the side of the crowed and get security to haul them up over the fence.  They watched the concert from the side stage for the rest of the night.  Indoor concerts with assigned seating from hence forward.
