Half Time

Yupz, half time break. Can afford to wake up late tomorrow, so i can work through the night! I'm getting sick of eating. Good news! ;-) I may in the future depend on fruits for my meals.

Read on http://www.todayonline.com that a coup happened in Thailand, and Thanksin had been overthrown, and it seems rather peaceful over there... sounds funny to me... Ain't there supposed to be some riots or what? Not that I wanted any, but weren't there any strong supporters of Thaksin? Maybe he's not that popular after all... May things be resolved soon over there.


Do you know?
Swimming is a good all-round exercise, and the support of the water reduces impact on joints. But exercise in cold water may not be ideal if you're trying to lose weight.
Researchers at the University of Florida asked subjects to exercise on a static bike underwater for 45 mins, 1st in water at 20C, then in water at 33C. They also spent 45 min resting. After each session, they spent an hour in a room full of food, without being told their kilojoule intake would be monitored.
After exercising in cold water, the subjects ate 44% more kilojoules than after the warm-water exercise, and 41% more than after just resting. It seems that body temp. affects post-exercise appetite, which may explain a previous study that found that women who swam lost less weight than those who ran or cycled.
