How to reach your calorie goals

I had a calorie goal of 600. Sometimes I get to 400 with a workout an d awalk and then another major workout seems like a tall order. SOmetimes it is easy to fit a half an hour elliptical and that does it. But today I tried a different tack. I had walked a bit early in the morning upto 100 calories waiting for the tea to boil. I fit in an aerobic workout upto 200 calories. Towards the afternoon I thought why not slice the calories goal into hourly bits. That worked.

A 2 hour walk?

I walked 45 min on Monday. 1 and 1/2 hour yesterday and wondered if I could push it to 2 hours today. I alos chose to walk up and down a tiny slope. This defintiely did tire me. I was rationing the water bottle. After 1 and 1/2 hour, I had to quit the slope thing and just walk. Love walking in the grass barefoot.

P90X real round 2

I kicked off cardio on Sunday. While I was thinking if I should do Insanity or P90X. In the middle of the week, universe understood my conundrum and sent a SUV sized answer with P90X on the back of it and teamazfitness and a UBFIT2 nameplate. In the past situations with universe signals have caused me heartache but this is the right direction.

On 7/17 - 98 min of walk

7/18 - YogaX - felt good

7/19

I am trying to achieve what I did P90X round 1. I am happy abput some of the notes that I have written down - like what caused em to start it and what were the takeaways.

This time around I am focusing on fiber - love chia seeds 3tbsp of it has 10g of fiber.

I was having my curated oatmeal for breakfast with hemp seeds, pumpkin powder, walnut powder for a long time and then suddenly stopped it one day. This time around, I should remember to add few nuts and dry fruits to make it more palatable.
