So I found yet another interesting article, this time about exercise. It postulates that exercise in the 30-60 minute bursts often prescribed actually makes us fatter, and that continuous, lower rate exercise like walking or gardening is actually better for us, keeping things more "even". I found it interesting and thought you might too!

As for me - I am still eating a Hot Pocket a day and it is working out pretty well! Hopefully the scale will be favorable tomorrow with my new mix of Hot Pockets and "home made" meals. I think this is a better mix. I have to say I feel a bit better actually! I am also writing everything down and measuring everything out (aka journaling). I think this will help with the margin of error or guesstimates that I was using previously. I was probably consuming more calories than I thought. And if you were wondering, a half a bottle of red wine is about 250 calories. I'm capping mine at a glass now! Toodaloo!

Hi, I was looking around your blog and I wanted to say it looks great. Thanks for sharing. You got pretty lots of good info here. Keep it up and good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Kelly. I journaled for weight watchers and managed to lose 25 lbs, I'm jogging again. I'll have to read the article, but I do want to run a 5k in October, which means stepping it up. So do you think it would be bad to have a half bottle for dinner?
ReplyDeletelol yeah that article in TIME was interesting! I loved the pic of the girl on the donut (like it was an exercise ball)... hows the hot pocket been? Hope all is well :)
