I was struggling through today's sculpt and tone routine, and decided to forgo the flat abs altogether. I put into it all that I had, though! That's what I love so much about Zumba -- it's not all technical weight-lifting moves that make your muscles shake and take a lot of effort. It's never boring, it's fun to put as much or as little "flavor" as you want into the moves, and the music is really motivating.
Burning 440 calories in 50 minutes is not bad either!
But I'm struggling with my calorie counts big time. That is, I'm having trouble getting enough without eating fast food.
Today I had an egg, ham and cheese bagel with a little Smart Balance spread, plus a cup of blueberries in Greek yogurt sprinkled with organic, low-cal granola. In total, it was 500 calories. For lunch I made a simple salad with 2 cups of spinach, 2.5 oz grilled salmon and a tablespoon of Italian dressing. Only 175 calories and I am full again! After the high-impact Zumba, I still have over 1100 calories I need to consume for dinner and snacks.
Really hard, unless I get Taco Bell at the end of the day. I feel like eating too little is hindering my weight loss a little. I've only lost .2 pounds in 2 days and after eating 1200 calories and so much cardio I feel like I should have lost more.
Oh well. More later I suppose.
