I came across an awesome post today on the Calorie count web site explaining exactly how to count calories to lose weight..
Basicly its ALOT easier then I thought and I realise now this whole thing has been making me have headaches for nothing lol Bottom line is :
Your BMR + calories burned exercising
MINUS
Calories you ate... Tadam!
So my BMR in 1472... plus I burn about 500 cals per day exercising wich places me at about 1972 Calories BURNED... now if I eat 1200 calories.. then my deficit is 772 cals with means I should lose about a pound every 5 days... Euhhhh... Ok I need to kick it up some because I want to lose 2lbs per week lol I need to start burning 728 calories exercising each day... oh boy :(
Ok so now that said... Im exciting to say that I did my first run-walk this morning.. 10km. Did it on a 1:3 ratio (run 1 min, brisk walk 3 min) and I did it in 1 hour 33mins. I have 5 months to bring that time unde 1 hour. Will be doing the 1:3 ratio for about 1 week then will kick it up at a ratio of 1:2... then eventually 1:1 and hopefull before august i'll run the whole thing.
But im soooooo proud of myself. This is something I would have never done just 1 year ago.
Its 13km in all (I walk around a lake) so I walked the last 3kms and let me tell you my legs where JELL-O!
Well I guess im going to go hit Jillian Michaels ripped in 30 and try out week 2 now :-)
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers everyonne!
