Whoops forgot to update yesterday, well actually didn't really forget, just didn't do much, and not doing much today either. Didn't go to the gym, as my achillies was playing up, but come tomorrow back at the pool again and planning to go Monday - Friday and then back to the gym Saturday and Sunday.
So not much to report but catch you all tomorrow and hope you all had a great weekend :)
Join me on my journey to getting healthier and stronger. in mid 2019, I had surgery on ruptured tendons and to remove the plate and screws in my wrist, which irritated the tendons and caused them to rupture. Join me as I get my fitness back and also start back at doing lower carb way of life :)
Lovely to see you doing well and blogging again. Could you explain your calories to me? I clearly don't understand because your daily total is so high! What am I missing here - I see active calories and total calories?? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe calories you read in the picture is my exercise sessions alone, and the active calories is what I burn in the exercise session when my heart rate is in the active zone, the total calories is with resting calories in the actual exercise session, so when I may have a few seconds break at the end of the length or something. My total is high but I exercise about 1 & 1/2 - 2 hours each day, and am in the high burning zone most of that time, as well as I do not sit still much at home, I am always doing stuff, so easily burn 4000 - 5000 calories a day. As I get fitter this will decrease, or I will be doing more to keep it up..... I have my apple watch on, which does my heart rate continuously, even while in the pool and it uses my resting heart rate as the guide.
DeleteThanks - it's great you are able to get out and exercise now! I would eat approximately 1500 calories a day so have no idea how you could eat 4,000 to 5000 but as you say, you will have to reduce these as you lose weight.
ReplyDeleteSorry I got you confused somewhere, or I have written it wrong, I will explain it in a blog post, my daily amount is 1650 calories with no exercise, and I don't eat the full amount of exercise calories, depending on what I burn in an actual exercise session, (anything between 800 and 2000 calories), I will eat a % of that, so say I burn 2000 calories I might eat 50% of those calories so my calorie intake for the day will be 2600, or if I burn only 800 calories, my calorie intake might be about 2000 calories. The 5000 total calories calories at the end of each day is also just my resting calories that we all have every day, not full on exercise. Hope that explains it a little better, like I said I will do a post about it today maybe. I basically adjust my food intake to what I do in an actual exercise session, any other calories that come under the active calories, is just a bonus :).
