Day 83

I stumble on this article while searching for ab exercises (note that it's on an egg PR site :)):

Eating eggs for breakfast helps reduce calorie consumption throughout the day by 18 percent. A new study demonstrates that eating protein-rich eggs for breakfast reduces hunger and decreases calorie consumption at lunch and throughout the day.
Ah, the lovely egg.

I couldn't find the ab exercise that I used to do when on the spring-board diving team (a great sport for core exercises, btw), probably because the name we called them was straight on wrong. They require a partner but are pretty good exercises.

The person doing the exercises lies on the floor, prepared to do leg lifts while their partner stands in their armpits, facing their feet. Grab your partners calves/ankles and start doing leg lifts. Your partners job is to throw your feet back towards the ground (reasonably gently) - your job is to make certain your feet don't touch the ground. For added difficulty, the partner can throw your feet off to the side.
