Saturday, Feb 21 2009 - Here's how a HR Monitor can kick your b***
View SIMKATHY's food & exercise for this day
So I bought my heart rate monitor... therefore I AM going to do what it tells me. So I blindly follow the program. Today I tried the Long1 exercise routine which keeps me in a low range of my hr range for 70 minutes. If you go out of range, a second timer stops logging time! It's so mean! I ended up exercising for 76 minutes and burning 637 calories.... and mind you, I am 58 years old.
If I eat back all of those calories I will lose no weight. I heard some people mention they only eat back half their exercise calories. That sounds better to me. I may try that even though I won't get the little check mark on my daily calories. But I have been stuck on the same weight for over a month now.
IVE GONE OFF THE DEEP END WITH THE EXERCISE.... 160 minutes and 1070 cals burned. There is no way I'm eating all that back. This happened because I went to the gym them gave in and walked the lake (3.2 mi) with girlfriend.

When I don't want to subtract my exercise calories from my consumption calories, i still enter my exercise in the daily diary; however, i change the calories burned to zero. That way i still get my little green check mark for meeting my consumed calories. It's amazing how much that little green check mark means to me now. Keep up the good work!
