Day 4



Today was made of epic ery…and I’m glad it’s over! I took out my frustrations on my treadmill. I was tired as hell and yawning, but I did it. The numbers aren’t as good as yesterday, but hey I’m not perfect. The 7 minutes were strangely therapeutic, though. In my mind I must have told off 5 or 6 people…all whom had somehow thrown a monkey wrench into my day. Oh well, I’m hoping for better tomorrow….

BRING ON DAY 5.

Endurance training foods
The diet that you follow is as important as the endurance training itself. It is necessary to have the right kind of food to provide the fuel needed for long work-outs. Fats and carbohydrates are the major sources of energy required for endurance. Carbohydrates are extremely important if athletes need to be competitive in endurance involving sports. Both the amount and the type of carbohydrates are equally important factors that affect the daily training of an athlete. The amount of glucose present in blood and the glycogen stores in liver and muscle is quite limited and considerably lower than the fuel requirements of an athlete’s daily training program. Carbohydrates rich diets, besides optimizing glycogen stores in muscle and liver, also induce optimized performance during both prolonged, moderate intensity exercise and short duration, high-intensity exercise. It is therefore necessary that the athlete eat a good amount of carbohydrates throughout the day to keep up his level of performance. Lessening of carbohydrates within the body hampers the ability to train hard or perform better. When the body is at rest, it has enough carbohydrates to fuel a 3-hr exercise. As compared to protein and fats, the rate of conversion is quite high for carbohydrates. But since the stores of this nutrient are insufficient, the athlete that replenishes his carbohydrates faster and converts them into a usable form will compete the best. But you have to be careful not to take the wrong carbohydrates at the wrong time r take too little. The right balance has to struck up so as to maximize performance. When the body is at a threshold level during exercise, then eating a slowly digesting carbohydrate is a recipe for disaster. Infact, dehydration can be caused by eating slow-digesting sugars as they will block fluids from getting absorbed. Hence it is important that you know about the structure of the carbohydrate, its rate of absorption, its size, the amount of fats and protein that you consume along with it (since fats and proteins affect the rate of absorption of carbo). Glycemic index (GI) is also an important factor in determining what type of carbohydrate you should take. This index describes the effect of the food that you ingest on the blood sugar compared with a standard food reference. Higher GI foods are better digested than lower ones. Protein needs of athletes also vary according to the type and duration of training. However, protein requirements for athletes are a controversial issue right now with different studies claiming completely different theories.

Hair overrated, exercise makes me beautiful (CNN)

That exercise makes me feel beautiful struck me around age 40, right after I had taken a quick run. Just a half hour’s lope eliminated puffiness, brightened eyes, and banished my most tense expressions.

Why There Are Lots of Wholesale Clothing Companies Go Under

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Let’s cut to the chase. While the economy is in its road to recovery, most small business resellers in the fashion industry are still struggling to get sales. This has been going on for the last twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months or so. Many retail stores have gone under even those that are big in the business. This event led to loosing jobs and have left many looking for ways and means to survive. I have been a search marketing specialist for a number of clients in the B2B industry and that of those in the B2C. And I saw first hand how they try to stay afloat. Those that managed to stay in business is not just because they have the liquidity to keep going but because they’ve been the right thing. Wholesale clothing for instance is a huge industry. If you are in this business, even a much smaller companies can compete with the big boys by doing your homework. They do not just rely on acquiring better merchandise, or their online business thru SEO, or go to trade shows and convention, or write articles like this so some retailers would notice them, or add some other items in the inventory like women’s accessories. If you want to stay in business, do all of them not just one or two of what I’ve mentioned. You also might want to consider networking. There are so much you can do to not go under. Do your best effort and think out of the box and everything else will follow.
