I started today with a total body boot camp style workout which lasted 40 minutes. I used to think that this workout burns 350 to 500 calories but I was surprised to see that I only burned 200 calories. There were times when this would be my only workout of the day but I am learning it takes so much more. I weighed after my first workout and was very happy to see that I lost 2 lbs. At first I didn't understand why the weight loss number was higher than expected in the mornings, but when I added the previous days deficit to the calorie burn up to the weigh in, the number on the scale is justified.
The biggest change in my life right now is that I am alert and weight loss is always at the forefront of my mind. I am not trying to deprive myself, but if I want to know if I can afford to have that extra 1/4 cup of brown rice (or any food for that matter)I just look at my watch and check my calorie burn.
