So lately I have been counting calories to help me with portion control. If you asked me one area I struggle in when it comes to eating I would say portion control. Number two would be sour patch kids. Yes that is it’s own category. 

So anyway I have been counting calories with the very popular My Fitness Pal app (and so has the hubby) which has essentially required me to measure out my food so I know how much to put into the tracker (have you ever measured out a serving size of cereal- gosh I don’t think I’ve ever ate just 1 serving before now). In any case I have loved keep track of my calories and just to look back to see where your trouble areas are. 

Another thing I love keeping track of is my workouts…. Mostly because this then ADDS calories to your daily intake which means when I ran 6 miles yesterday I was able to eat almost 600 calories more. I didn’t which is probably a good thing especially considering Saturday I went over but it is still nice to see where you need the balance.

So with all of that in mind, I thought this week it would be fun to post some 100 calorie, 200 calorie, and 300 calorie workouts so anyone else that has that “Oh shit, I ate too much today and I really want a small bowl of ice cream” moment. 

Those moments happen to all of us. Even those that are totally and completely determined to do right by our bodies.

 100 Calorie Workouts

1. 23 minutes of casual biking/cycling
2. 15 Cardio dance class (or cardio dance session in your living room)
3. 9 minutes jumping rope (moderate intensity)

200 Calorie Workouts

1. 50 minutes of Nintendo Wii
2. 50 minutes of golf (walking and pulling/carrying your own clubs)
3. 25 minutes (4 pmh) walking your pup (Molly’s favorite)

 300 Calorie Workouts

1. Take a walk with your besties for 1 hour
2. High intensity training for 20 minutes
3. Try this 1hr Walk-Jog  workout I found online

Not sure what extra’s I’ll need today but I’ll do what I need to do!
