Crunching Some Numbers


I re-joined Spark People today so that I would have a place to track my progress on my fitness and weight loss goals:

  • Get to my ideal weight by 1/1/12
    • I need to consume between 1650-2000 calories/day
    • 186-325 grams of carbs/day
    • 37-78 grams of fat/day
    • 60-175 grams protein/day
    • To lose one U.S. pound (.454 kg), you must burn 3,500 more calories than you take in as food
  • I need to burn 1170 calories/week 
    • Swimming/Water aerobics-1 hr burns 679.68 calories Calorie Calculator Calorie Count
      • I plan on doing Water Aerobics twice weekly Tuesday and Thursday and possibly swimming on the weekends
    • Walking -1hr at a 3.0 Mph, Level, Moderate Pace, Firm Surface burns 560 calories
That is the plan so far!   Water Aerobics on Tuesday!  Here is to the start of a brand new lease on life!!
