    Walked 45 on the treadmill and a short walk outside. Have to work tonight 8pm-8am. Really have to try hard not to snack to stay awake. My favorite is coffee and muffins but I always bring fruit.

    He everyone. Would like to join also. Had a bad week last week. Dr told me I have no Cortisol and no Growth Hormone in my body. My thyroid levels are low and cholesterol 300 x more than it should be. And that there is no way I can lose weight at this time. I'm not happy and of course gained 3 lbs over the weekend because I was down. So I'm giving this a try because I don't back down :)

    42 minutes of HIIT today and 1 minute of plank and extra squats(I do them during the commercials) just cause I can. I didn't eat enough today so I need a bigger dinner to get to my minimum/maximum calories for the day. I might eat some extra protein.

    A question for the group...do you eat your workout calories back?

    I did some walking today and went bowling with the family this evening. Does it count as exercise if I was eating pizza while doing it? :)

    I love HITT - hope you had a good workout!

    Sometimes I eat back my exercise calories but not often. The most id normally eat back is 100 of them. But I think it just depends how hungry you are. If you need to eat then eat :-) :-) :-)

    Sometimes I do if I'm still hungry. It also depends how many calories I burned. If I burn over 300 I definitely eat some of it back.
