My morning started off with a great Group Power workout at the YMCA. I am still using light weights, but I am feeling stronger and ready to take it to the next level. I’m moving in the right direction and it feels great!
This morning I wore my new Polar Heart Rate Monitor Watch and using extremely light weights during my workout I still burned 415 calories in an hour.
That just goes to show you how strength training if effective in burning calories. I can’t imagine how many calories I would burn using my normal weights!!
It will be interesting to see the progression and I will be sure to keep you updated.
Now onto the topic of my post today.. Are you eating enough veggies??
One of my “Health Goals” is to incorporate more veggies daily. I have been achieving my goal by adding extra veggies at lunch and having a veggie with my snacks throughout the day. I always eat veggies at dinner so I didn’t need to change anything there.
According to the USDA Government website www.choosemyplate.gov/
Women ages 19-50 should have 2 1/2 cups of veggies per day
Men ages 19-50 should have 3 cups of veggies per day
Here are a few of my meals over the past couple of days… you can see how I am incorporating lots of veggies!
How will you increase your veggie intake?
