Movement: BL's low intensity aerobics, with those jumping jacks! I earned 325 calories from today's workout, according to My Fitness Pal (MFP). I worked up a good sweat. I am looking forward to changing my fitness plan this fall. Only this week and next left of the 6 weeks BL challenge.
I've also figured out that I need to split up my breakfast around my activity. I eat my cereal and coffee and then work out. Then I have some protein, water, and fruit afterwards. That is how I am upping my calories for breakfast. If I eat it all before my workout, I get an upset tummy. If I don't eat at all, I feel like fainting.
Food: I love MFP! I even printed off my food diary from yesterday. It gives you so much information beside calories. Speaking of, I ate 1,860 calories yesterday with 24g of fiber and 54g of protein. (Go me!) I also like that it makes you stop and think before you eat. I can plan a little better knowing the calorie (or even the fat and sugar) content of a food. I like numbers. Now I really want a Droid so that I can take MFP with me where ever I go! (lol, not going to happen anytime soon)
I still had over 600 calories remaining yesterday. According to My Fitness Pal, I should loose a pound a week if I eat like I did yesterday. I actually had to make an effort to eat more. That was fun. We shall see if my body agrees with MFP. It seems to have a mind of its own. I am going to weigh again Saturday morning. Until then, no peeks! Otherwise I will drive myself insane.
Weight will flux so much during the day. It is good you're not weighing yourself too much. I think, also, it keeps you honest if you are having to wait to weigh in. good job!! I almost made it to -70 yesterday. I am only 1/2 a lb away. 10 1/2 to goal IF I decide to stop at that point. I am toying with the idea of going a little lower than my original point.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's great! My Fitness Pal really helped me, mostly in equating calories to exercise. GO YOU!
ReplyDeleteI have a Droid, and I love the app for My Fitness Pal. When I was logging every day, it helped tremendously.
Way to go, I looked at MFP, I might have to do that when I get over the back to school hump. Oh, and little one who is sick.
