There's a common misconception that you shouldn't eat after you work out, but did you know that if you don't eat within 35-45 minutes after working out that your body will actually eat away at your muscles?! Yeah. So make sure that within that time frame after your work out that you eat a combination of a carbohydrate and a protein. This could be an apple with peanut butter, or with 6 almonds (yes 6 :)

I just went to the gym and after I got home I had an apple and 6 almonds. I actually counted out six. :) It made me think of you. Hope your Christmas was great. Missed you.
