Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
I am setting myself a goal to lose 5 pounds. I want to "make a deposit" that I can spend on holiday. So, as of today, I am tracking my meals and exercise again, as that keeps me on the straight and narrow, so back to Sparkpeople.com!
I have just come back from swimming.
I swam 40 minutes without touching the floor or the sides of the pool. That burnt 472 calories!
I made a nice breakfast:
2 'fried' eggs, 1 piece of toast with 1 tsp each butter and strawberry jam, 1 orange and 1/2 avocado.
Total calories for breakfast: 394 That means breakfast is already burnt away! Cool!! I forgot how great swimming is!! I was swimming a lot early on but when my jobs went all squiffy and my schedule changed, I was unable to get there very often, so I am going to TRY and get there at least twice a week, preferably 3 times. I am also going to try for an hour a time which burns over 700 calories. I would have done an hour today but I ran out of time as private lessons were beginning. If I can do that 2-3 times a week, plus my walks to and from work, I should be in good shape.
Tomorrow I will go earlier for a full hour.
Will chart my full days food and any more exercise later.
Wish me luck!
