they eat more but weigh lesser

Yahoo.com reported it and it is all over the internet pages.

Michael Phelps has been the talk of the Olympic town after bagging 8 golds in various swimming categories in this year's Summer Olympics. Another reason to talk about him is his 12,000-calorie daily intake. I think it is not all about his 30-hour weekly training that let him stay fit. He has good metabolism. He is lucky!!!

Imagine eating 3 fried egg sandwiches, 5-egg omelet, 1 pound pasta and more... then drinking an energy drink (1000) calories to bring all this intake down! He is so lucky!

this reminds me of my classmates in college. we ate together during lunchtime. she would eat 2 cups of rice with viands then after few minutes she will eat an order of cheese burger. Yet, it is not visible in any part of her body. Life is unfair!

Back to Walking!

Now that I stay at home most of the time, I want to go back to walking. I badly need one since I am on a sedentary lifestyle. I did a research and I found this schedule to follow to slowly review my passion for walking. This is all I can do at the moment since no chance for me to play badminton since the time I hurt my right shoulder badly.

So Week 1 starts tomorrow, October 16 with a follow up on October 19. Blood Chem is scheduled on Monday.  I also need to replace the battery of my pedometer.

Week	Walking schedule** (time, days a week)	Weekly total
1	15 minutes, 2 days	30 minutes
2	15 minutes, 3 days	45 minutes
3	20 minutes, 3 days	60 minutes
4	25 minutes, 3 days	75 minutes
5 & 6	30 minutes, 3 days	90 minutes
7 & 8	30 minutes, 4 days	120 minutes
9 & 10	30 minutes, 5 days	150 minutes
