I don't hold onto the bars, rather swing my arms. On a good day I am able to burn 800 calories in an hour. I would like to start adding strength training to my routine. Since I've lost the weight, I want to start tightening things up. I came upon a very simple work-out plan on Pinterest.com that is a workout for each day of the week; each day targeting a different muscle group. I have done that several times, and I really like it. If I can figure out how to share that with you, I will. It was originally pinned from a website, but that website is no longer up.
As for food, I have been using www.loseit.com. They have an app for iphones and the like. David and I both use that track everything that we eat. The thing I like about the app is that once you enter your weight, and age, you can also decide how much weight you want to lose each week - in half pound increments from 0.5 lbs to 2.0 lbs. You can also choose to just maintain where you are at. Lose It spits out how many calories you should eat each day.
I have been working with a nutritionist to make sure I am eating the right things, as well as a balanced diet. Breakfast is either instant oatmeal or cereal with fruit. Lunch is a salad with meat on the salad, or salad with soup, or salad with a small portion of the meal of the day (I work at a school). Dinner is much of the same. I am trying to keep my calories around 1500 calories, but it is HARD! Working out definitely helps.
I am hoping to blog more often now that I am on summer break, so see you soon!
