I've noticed my workout doesn't burn much either for 30 min. workout(350). I also was thinking about adding, but its hard with having a toddler and only 2 hours of alone time. 

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my journal :) If you're burning 700 calories per hour, that's a pretty darn good calorie burn! I'm using the bodybugg so I don't rely on FS's estimations on how many calories I burn - I think they overstate them here. It IS difficult to find time for yourself with a toddler - I remember those days! But...the best way to take care of your child is to take care of her mother :) I'm currently doing the Insanity 60 day program and it's INTENSE! (not today as it was a cardio recovery day) Like yesterday's workout was 41 min. - super intense plyometric cardio circuit. You're amazed when you get through it. All that work and sweat and maximum, sustained effort and I burned about 350 calories. I'd swear it had to be way more than that for the effort involved. But I'm also a lot older (burn less calories per anything I do!) and weigh less, so burn less. For instance, my resting and sleeping for 24 hours only adds up to 1516 calories! (which is probably pretty accurate if I did nothing other than sleep and sit on the sofa!) Makes it tough when you like food! So I have to keep finding ways to burn some calories so I can eat AND lose weight! Too hot to hike! I see you're from Bullhead City, so you know full well what I mean. I SO miss hiking and have come to hate summers here! Can't wait for mid to late Sept.... Any luck making new friends yet?  

Don't be disappointed, be patient my friend. 

I know, I know, Info. But patience has never been one of those virtues I possess! Guess it's like working out - if it's difficult for me, I need to practice it, huh? Lots of life lessons in this weight loss journey. Thanks, Info! 

Lot's of lessons yes. lol! FWIW, I posted a link for you on your yesterday's journal.  

Thanks, Info! I hadn't checked yesterday's journal, so thanks for the heads up. I think I'm doing what I can, and I never actually experienced fast weight loss. I may look into that hyaluronic acid. And the funny thing about something in that link was the coconut. I've been craving coconut for a long time ... of course, I want to cover it with dark chocolate, too! Maybe I'm craving it because I "need" it? :) 

I know I'm a day late on journal....not sure I'll be around for today's entry. Anyway....it IS amazing how the "math" works. It may not be today or tomorrow.....but it seems like bam....it works!!! Ps....i say HAVE THE WINE.....I will be having some liquid calories today too!!! :) Hey also Redwine......sent you a message in your inbox.....curious, did you get it???? Have fantastic weekend.....mines going to be busy busy busy....hope it equals burn burn burn!!! :) 

Hi Klannoye! No, I didn't get your pm...I'll go check. And YES, I did have the wine. :) Surprisingly, only two measured 4 oz glasses :) Believe me, I most likely would have had more, but I was not only starving, I was physically exhausted, too! I went to bed by 11:30 last night after reading! Hope you burn lots of calories...will go check my inbox now ...
