Hey all, happy weigh in day! Today was another positive weigh in... down another 1.4lbs this week! That brings my total weight loss since Christmas day to 7.8lbs! :) I weighed in at 178.0 this morning.
I had another great run last night... it was just two miles but I was able to run outside before I went to volleyball. I am so happy it's slowly starting to stay lighter a bit longer. I hope I continue to say my runs are going well as the distance grows!
I went 2 miles, and ran a 10:39 pace. I am satisfied with how much faster I am running starting out this year as compared to last year.
I am also really learning a lot more on Heart Rate Based Calorie burn... http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx
My garmin seems to be very accurate which is exciting for me. What I learned however, is the Activity point tracker on Weight Watchers is NOT accurate at all. So, for the last 3 weeks I've been using that way to track my workouts... even though I don't "eat" my activity points, it's still gratifying to know how many I earn. So, what I am doing now is tracking my calories burned via my Garmin, and transferring those into Activity points.
I have learned that it exaggerates it by 1/3 to 1/2 more than I actually earn. I read on the WW message boards that 1 AP = 80 calories. So, I feel like I will be getting a much more accurate reading on how much I am actually earning!
Here's to 2 more great runs this week... 2 miles tomorrow & 4.3 on Saturday!
