I bounced back! Hooray! Typically when I fall off any wagon I just wallow in the mud, feeding on self pity (and copious amounts of chocolate) but yesterday I did very well!
Food? Perfect -- I was literally 3 calories below my target
Exercise? Double -- I did a 40 minute workout using the Nike Training Club App
Tracking? Of course!4 -

Congratulations!! The Magic Of UAC! And each time we do bounce back, we build that important (maybe the most important) habit of all for our long term success! Thank you for sharing ❣️5 -

Our bodies are amazing!
Two weeks ago I read an article saying that HIIT workouts resulted in better heart health, ability to exercise longer into your older age, and several other things, but what caught my eye was people who did HIIT lost belly fat while people who did other kinds of exercise didn’t.
This was motivation enough for me because that is the last part of my body I’m trying to whittle down with continued weight loss (even though I know you can’t spot reduce it seems to be the last area to lose wt for many people.) I’m also working to decrease worry & to get more sleep!
So I started doing three times a week I started with four intervals but 22 minutes and worked up to six.
Yesterday, I did the 6...then decided to keep going for an hour. 11 Intervals! Ha!
Our bodies are amazing! I was 3X sore after the first 5 times. Yesterday & today, I’m fine - just a barely noticeable feeling of having worked the muscles.
Our bodies are amazing! #babysteps

Nice! What sort of split did you do? Do you work for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, or do something different?

Hmmmmmmm - maybe I'll go back to trying the HIIT setting on my stationary bike as part of my plan - with caveat-to-self that I have to eat back THOSE exercise calories (when I was biking in Sept, I plateaued, suspicion was burning / not eating enough back. Joined here - first time in Oct - lower exercise calories burned not 100% eaten back, plateau broke.) It is saggy baggy tummy I want to tighten up (not target-lose - just get muscle strength and tone back)0 -

After a 3 min warm up:
It’s a 4-minute repeating interval
2 mins in under 110 bpm
1 min 119
1 peak minute 126 (but I often go into 130/140
Repeat
Then 3 min cool down1 -

Awesome! I hurt until the 6th one.
# of intervals

4 ow to ok
6 OW
4 I better cut back (also took long hikes)
11 I waited 2 days then did this. Feels Great!
I find I can read for first 2-3 mins of interval, then I set it down & go as fast as I can for a minute. Then start reading again! LOL
Pls let us know how it goes!!0 -

I definitely eat a fair amount (sometimes a All) of my exercise calories. I want my muscles to have the nutrients to get stronger. But my Apple Watch seems to underestimate my calorie burn, so if what I eat & what the watch says I Burned are equal, I still lose.1 -
Thank you for the encouragement, w8goal4life. Yesterday and today, did well for intake and tracking, but ran in the ditch both days on exercise! Yesterday back hurt too bad to exercise and today I was gone all day until it was dark outside; when finally got home had migraine. Oh brother.1

All I have to go on are my MFP food logging, and transferring in the calorie burn my Wii exergame estimates, or the bike estimated. I keep the game profile weight updated every 3 weeks or so, but am on a mini-trampoline so the burn is probably actually higher than the stats. The bike doesn't ask weight - height - sex so probably only an approx burn there but no way of knowing if it is guessing too high or too low.1 -
