Divided By Zero's Journal, 08 January 2009

I was listening to an NPR story this morning (I know, total nerd) that had some interesting information. It was about overeating and the effects it has on your body, blah blah blah, and then I heard something I've never heard before...

---If you drink lots of icy beverages with your food, the mixed messages to your body only worsen, she says. "When you drink cold liquids, your stomach will start contracting and it will massage the food that will again quickly leave stomach to the rest of the gastrointestinal track." This means your stomach will be empty sooner than normal, and you will be hungrier sooner.---

I'm not sure if I buy it, but I thought it was interesting.

My official weight in for the Boot Camp Challenge isn't until tomorrow, but I'm doing very well. I don't bother tracking ounces at this stage, so I drop the ounces and only record pounds. So if my weight was 200.00 or 200.99 I would just enter that as 200. Well today I was at 223.00 so I'm hoping to drop an ounce so I can enter 222 as my challenge weight... a five pound drop for week one.

I love NPR! I listen during my 45 minute commute every morning and evening. I <3 Ari Shapiro.

I just started listening recently when my favorite radio station died. I remember hearing that name a lot but I can't place who Ari is since I have only been listening for a week or so.

I am a big NPR fan as well. Been not listening lately though because I am doing fine and I am trying to limit my exposure to all the negative economic crap out therre and even NPR does a lot of reporting on it.

In that case you might want to stay away. It's mostly Gaza news right now (not pretty).

LOL! (to the randomness) I have heard that about ice water that it isn't really good for you. It is better to have hot water for your digestion, but I don't know about for hunger.
