It was another really beautiful day
on Long Island. Spring forward took place last night bringing us one step
closer to actual spring – yay! I did some more walking – outside this time – thru
the park, yay! I’m looking forward to “walking club” at work. Each year my
company sponsors the annual walking contest. They break us up into teams and
put each one on a tropical island. They track individual and team miles walked so
they can post weekly results, award prizes and show us fun facts as each team
treks across their island. It’s such a fun idea that has spurred over 75 people
to join.
I’ve put a link below for a calorie burn
calculator. Just type in your weight and the length of time you’re exercising
and what you’re doing and calculate. It tells you how many calories you’ve burned.
I had a conversation recently about exercise with someone from my weight loss
community and she suggested that I wasn’t properly calculating burned calories
for my weight, and exercise level (she felt it should be much higher). So I found
the calorie calculator website which confirms that I am burning a lot more
calories than I’m currently recording in the tracker so I’ve increased my personal
calculation a little, from 20 to 30 calories per 5 minutes. It’s still a lot lower
than the calculator suggests, but I’ll wait until April’s weigh-in and decide
if I need to make another adjustment. It’s important to be accurate in both
calories eaten and burned to insure food intake is sufficient. I also don’t
want to undermine myself by deducting too many calories. When in doubt, I always
round-up.
