I am at Day 123 on my Daily Food Diary. 🤗
May is shaping up to be a beautiful month here in Saskatchewan. It is getting warm enough that Dan and I decided we had better take Molly for her walk before breakfast this morning.
A few weeks ago, I started using the Lose It! app to track my calories and nutrients that I focus on month to month. (This month it is saturated fats).
At the end of each diary entry, I note Net Calorie Total, net calorie goal, and how many calories I am over and under by. My net calories are my total calories consumed less calories used. Lose It! totals my calories consumed and used and calculates the difference.
I have found that for most calories consumed, the Lose It! app is fairly accurate compared to nutritional labels printed on packages.
For calories used, I generally note my morning aerobics (110 cal.)and our walks with Molly (+/- 100 cal. for 35 to 45 minutes).
Yesterday, I included the hour and a half that I spent pressure washing our patios. (325 calories)
* Walking with Molly for an hour and a half would earn me < 300 calories used.
Yesterday, I swept our patios, pressure washed them, did some general outdoor cleaning and maintenance, came in to have a Caesar and a snack & then helped Dan make supper. And I was still relatively presentable!
This morning, I walked Molly for half an hour. Dan shot the photo of us above when we got back home. Both of us looked like we were having a medical crisis. 🤦
