I have a feeling that this is one of those workouts that appears to be simple, yet will kick our asses as soon as we start. BLAAH!

Indoors today huh? Rain rain go away!

"You train the lypolytic system best by working glycogen-depleting exercises like resistance training and wind sprints into your program (which give you an “afterburn” as you rebuild ATP through fat burning), working out in the morning on an empty stomach (in any case, definitely avoid sugary or high-glycemic carbs before workouts – insulin blocks fat burning), waiting about 30-60 minutes after the workout before having much carbohydrate, and by maintaining a nutrition plan of small meals that aren't large enough or glycemic enough to spike your blood sugar. You can also have a cup of caffeinated coffee (no cream or sugar) before workouts if it doesn't irritate your stomach – the caffeine triggers release of fatty acids into the bloodstream and will improve your endurance."

DAMMIT!!! If I read this correctly, This is WHY I am NOT losing weight!! I eat before my workout and include fruit in that meal for "energy". Though that is generally good for "other" people, for my GOAL it backfires! All this info is hurting my head. =(
