Gourmet magazine gave me an idea for dinner with clams in white wine. Clams are a good source of B-12 and iron for good health. I found an article that describes buying clams and cleaning them as well as preparation, click here. Also, I will be cooking them with Pinot Grigio wine that I enjoy drinking. Pairing this wine with seafood is recommended, here are notes on wine. This week I have changed the intensity of my daily exercise routine to a higher level. I will be including specific sculpting and abs exercises about 1-1/4 hrs alternating each day with 1 hour cardio whole body burns. Today is my third day and scheduled is cardio burn. I do feel the muscles feeling worked. So I alternate the day's exercises to rest parts of my body that need it.
