edited January 16 in Success Stories
I was really frustrated and irritated today. At first, I did what I would normally do in these situations - I turned to food to help ease my anger. However, I caught myself and turned those emotions on the gym. 1 hour and 800 calories later, I felt SO much better. I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow since this is the hardest and longest I've ever worked out, but I still feel accomplished.

    Oh wow! I just got back from the gym but I only burned 525 after an hour. I want to burn 800 in an hour lol, maybe I need to be more angry.

    I was really pushing myself, I was so irritated and pissed off. Then I realized I was on track to hit 400 calories at 30 minutes... Then 650 at 45 minites... Plus, I love the arc trainer for the fact that I can burn a ton more calories than the treadmill or elliptical with less stress on my knees and ankles.

    Burn those Balories!

    Seriously, I wasn't sure if Balories is slang for calories burned or if it was a typo. I'm going with the former because I like it.

    Well done!

    Oops, I meant Calories. Hahaha But maybe we can make it a new thing. Balories = Badass-Calories?

    That is incredible! I'm happy at this point if I can burn a calorie per minute during HIIT running. 800 calories is AMAZING! Good for you!

    Angry workouts are the best. I had one of those last Friday. Just wanted to take out all my frustrations on the elliptical and the treadmill. Great Job!!!

    :drinker: You probably actually burnt more - the machines aren't that accurate.

    Unless you were using a HRM those things are pretty inaccurate. ...........Not in anyway "poo pooing" your accomplishment!! :flowerforyou:

    You still had a great burn and you feel good! Just careful with the calories you eat back. YOU ARE AWESOME
