Health and Diet
Do you know the proper portion? Consider that one portion size is ½ of a 3 oz. potato, ½ of a 3 oz. bagel, and ½ cup of cooked pasta! The portion size you typically get dining out is 3-4 times this amount. Learn to eyeball what these portion sizes look like on a plate. Skip the high fat toppings and spice it up with fresh herbs and seasonings!
Fitness
Rest and grow. Do not do strengthening exercise routines on two consecutive days. Rest to give your muscles a chance to recuperate. You will become much stronger--probably 25-100 percent stronger in each muscle. Research shows the biggest improvements are in the first FEW months.
