Approximate nutritional breakdown:

122g fat
143g carb
Approximate calorie burn:
1660 resting metabolic rate
400 avg. from breastfeeding
250 from moderate daily activity
500 from turbofire 30 workout
Approximate calorie deficit:
2810 burned - 2273 eaten = 537 (not toooo shabby)
5425 calories to burn this week - 537 = 4888
814 calories a day left to burn daily, to meet my weekly goal of 1.5lbs lost... means I need to burn more or eat less! According to Kellymom.com I shouldn't consume any less that 1800 or it might put my milk supply at risk.
My Thoughts:
I was pretty close to my calorie intake goals today and I feel good about that, although I wish it would have been a smidge lower. I worked out with Turbofire for the first time since July and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't kill me as badly as I thought it would, but it certainly was hard and I can feel lots of room for improvement. I'm not doing much of the jumping (I'm following the lower impact gal) this time around because of Achilles tendon issues last time, but that may change with time! I'm also experimenting with working out barefoot after reading a lot about the benefits of going barefoot during fitness activities. It requires an extra bit of thought to keep my feet positioned correctly, but I've been relatively pain free for once (experienced quite a bit of foot pain when working out to Turbofire before).
I experienced some low blood sugar symptoms (shaky, lightheaded, a little disoriented) about an hour after working out, only 30 minutes after my afternoon snack, so I plan on closely monitoring that issue. Check in ya'll tomorrow!
Warmest Regards,
Christina
WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!
ReplyDeletePrayed for your strength to do this, this morning. Great job ❤ Portion control is where it's at! Don't give up all that you love, just eat small amounts. Once you step up your metabolism you'll burn calories faster. And of course if you spend most of your calorie intake eating food that is good for you you'll do better in the long run! If you get really hungry at night try adding 1/4 cup nuts with 1 TJ's chocolate square for dessert and cutting back a little on something else. That always gets me through the night :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Mama! :) I could definitely use some more ideas on how shave off little bits of calories here and there.
ReplyDeletegreat job today Christina. I think you had a great day :)
