Thought I'd start today. Especially since I just blew my WW points on a freaking bacon, egg, and cheese kolache
B: started off well haha banana walnut oatmeal with a banana chopped up and a glass of milk (7 pts)
S: bacon, egg, and cheese kolache (I think around 8pts)
L: soy corn dog (3) ff pudding (2) carrots (0)
D: spagetti with chicken sasauge (6ish) small salad (2) and italian margaritas (??)
E: I guess I'll be exercising tonight. Maybe another 30-40 mins on the eliptical.
Question: How do you calculated the points "earned" from exercising. It seems kinda vague to me. How do you determine at what intensity you are working out at? I know I'm at low to light exercise when I don't break a sweat but what if I'm wet but not dripping wet/soaked? What level is that?
Aurora, have you thought about investing in a heart rate monitor? I usually rate how I am doing on a scale of 1-10, and I try to hit between a 5-8 when I am working out on my own, but on those days I feel "off," I use a HR monitor to help me figure out where I am in exertion level.
B: oatmeal, chicken and egg whites
S: granola
L: grilled chicken breast and whole wheat bread sandwich

i hadn't thought of that yet. Right now I base it off of how my legs feel when I'm done (jelly vs. tired vs. no change) and how many bottles of water I go through during and right after I work out (1.5-2 bottles vs. 1 or no bottles). I've kinda been at the jelly and 2 bottles = high intensity and the tired almost jelly and 1.5 bottles = medium intensity haha.
