Battle of the calories: Calories consumed vs Calories burned!

Monday was a good day I think. Upped my exercise to 45 minutes which, I was chuffed with. I need to keep up my consistency with exercise, but so far so good! Btw who knew bread rolls had 150 calories each!? I would have only had one with my soup had I realised BEFORE I had eaten them doh! So this is how the calories worked out for me:

Yoghurt – 200cals
Rice – 250 cals
Sausages – 120 cals
Mash – 300 cals
Lentil Soup - 165
Rolls – 300

1335
- 263 for exercise

Today wasn’t so great calorie wise. I suggested we order Indian food and the other half agreed!!! Moron, doesn’t he realise my will is weak and he is supposed to stop these slip ups lol. I did however go for I guess a healthy Indian option if there is such a thing. The calories are what google told me my take away cost me doh!

Yoghurt - 250
Sandwiches – 600
Saag aloo – 500
Nan Bread - 269
Rice – 188

1,707
- 322 for exercise

So as you can see the calories burned off exercising are up from Monday… which can mean only one thing. Yup I managed to up the exercise AGAIN to 1 hour! Yeay go me! I discovered a great trick to making exercise go quicker. My problem isn’t that I can’t exercise for an hour because I find it hard…. But because I get bored! So to solve this problem a friend suggested I play something on the laptop. I decided on BBC I player and watched a few comedy shows. I have to say it was a FAB idea because the hour did pass MUCH quicker. However, laughing when exercising is a little much on the stomach muscles, so perhaps next time I will go for a drama or a soap!

Heres to another one hour workout tomorrow, although perhaps no take away before it doh!
