I don't know if there is a right answer for that question, I think even Dr.'s and such all have different opinions.  My husband always ate a little something as soon as he got done.  I've read in other places wait an hour.  And I've read in other places to eat carbs within a half hour before for energy and proteins within a half hour after to rebuild muscle. 
When I was hard core exercising I used to eat an apple a half hour before and a protein shake half hour after.  That worked for me.
I guess just listen to your body and do what works for you!

Thanks so much for replying. It's very helpful. In the beginning, i just had a cup of tea and half a piece of toast before exercising. But after I waited for 30 minutes, my tummy started rumbling! I will try having some carbs and protein after my exercises .

Sally, I feel so stupid. You'll know why later I am very happy you're back, I checked out that wesite, it's.. meh-ish.

Yeah, I don't want to get spammed! Who knows what kind of crazy spammers are floating around here. You better not spam me .

Meh-ish = boring, hehe. I went there and everything was so blah and extremely disorganised. As you can probably tell, I like things nicely formatted and stuff. No wonder my friends are always stealing my notes.

Sally: you're so cute. I read somewhere that one of the main reasons people keep coming back to places is the relationships they've built. I registered for that site but I will never go back there again. Woah, 1500? yikkkkkes. How did you ever got through it? geez louise.

Anyway, it's going off topic for this thread but I know a way where we can do the chart easily!! I have a tablet, it's one of those, um, how do you explain it. well it's the same as paper and writing tool. Whatever I write on the tablet will show up on the screen. I think that's so much easier than typing and click back and forth. I can try it for week 2 for our progresses.
