Hey Featherweights!
Exercise Challenge from now until NEW YEARS! Let's post our calorie burn here each day. I need some accountability and would love for folks to join me.
About me: I have 30 pounds to lose. For several years, I was healthy, fit and in shape. 2 kids and a divorce-in-progress later, my "fit" lifestyle has suffered. Little depression of late has set me back. Food: I'm tracking in a public journal in the 40-somethings area here.
EXERCISE: No doubt I need to move more!!!
THE SUPER CHALLENGE to GET SUPER FIT:
Ok, so I succumbed to Gilmore Girls finally on Netflix. Geez, once Jess entered the scene in Season 2, how could I not? Bottom line, the fact those girls eat junk food all day on the show, I knew there is no way in real life. Looked up what Lauren Graham (have you seen her legs and butt?) does as an exercise routine:
Walking at an incline, hiking, PILATES was mentioned twice.
Her goal to burn: 3500 calories per week
Breaks down to: 500 calories per day
Anyone want to do this with me? Burn 500 calories per day and/or 3500 calories per week? Doing any exercise you want to do?
*******If this is too intense for you, pick your goal number of calories to BURN each week via exercise/steps, and let's stay accountable here!!!!*******
Disclaimer: Please consult a doctor if need be, and approach this in a healthy way ----yes, this is intense, but set your calorie burn at a healthy level for you ----not meant for those folks who are pushing themselves too hard to lose weight they don't need to lose. I encourage healthy eating, and healthy BMIs, and am in no way a licensed health professional so please be responsible for your own health.
LET'S START TOMORROW! Or join in when you want to!!!!
WHAT? SUPER FIT CHALLENGE (lose weight and get super fit!!)
WHEN? From NOW until New Year's Eve
DECIDE - What is your weekly calorie burn goal?
BREAK IT DOWN - What does that break down per day?
POST - here DAILY your exercise burn calorie count. Fitbit might help for steps/calories. If you are weight lifting, do classes or videos, look up what that type of class burns and the length, to find out total burned calorie count.
