I put on the heart monitor they gave us early in the morning, around 8am. Before I started the first workout I was at about a 700 calorie burn, now I am at 1340 calories after the workout.
This workout was call the band burn, it was a combination of cardio and strength training for one hour.
This morning we had orientation, talked about nutrition and fitness, received our new heart rate monitors, and had a light breakfast of poached eggs and tomatoes. We had our first weigh in, measurements, and before picture. Before the first workout I had a snack of string cheese and an apple.
What I learned today is as women age it is important to lift more weights to preserve the muscles and prevent stiffness. Cardio alone, is not enough.
I also learned that I will go through sugar withdrawal that might cause me sickness and mood swings, but it represents my body detoxing off of the usual crap,
Protein helps you feel more satisfied with less. White carbohydrates lead to mood swings.
I am having lunch right now, miso vegetable soup, turkey and vegetables.
That's all for now.
