I use this website and this website to help me calculate how many calories I've burned during my workouts.
I am not advocating obsessing about calories, not at all. But, my weight loss plan already includes a two pound weight loss every week, and I want to be sure that I am eating enough to be healthy and so that I don't feel deprived and hungry and so my body doesn't go into starvation mode.
I don't work out so I can eat more because that feels like obsessive behavior to me. I work out because it feels good and I want to be healthy and strong.
What was the question? I've been taking Zumba classes and water aerobics, and today I tried a 30 minute stretch class and a one hour weight lifting class, woof.
In general, people at my Y are very nice and very helpful but there is a lot of fat phobia and people talking trash about their own bodies and their own food choices.
