Slow Burn Saturday
Woo! Weigh in this morning was 188.5 pounds. That’s 7.5 pounds since July 27. That’s three weeks ago. I’m losing, on average, about 2.5 pounds (or just over a kilogram) per week. Okay, time to keep on moving.
I had an errand or two to run in Sunnyvale this morning, so I decided to throw on my heavy hiking boots and make it a slow burn hike. First errand: Get some coffee and a bagel. I wanted to time a low heart rate walk, so that I can know for certain how long it takes me to walk to the Sunnyvale Caltrain Station (just in case I want to ride the train). It’s 1½ miles away and it took me just about half an hour. That’s about what I expected (mental note: leaving to catch the train means leave the house 45 minutes before the train you want to catch and you don’t have to miss it by 15 seconds anymore). From there, I headed over to Bean Scene for coffee, continued on to Cindy’s to trim my shaggy locks (okay, maybe just over a quarter inch of hair isn’t that shaggy, but whatever), and on to the bank. After that, I did a big loop that brought me home just about an hour later.
I didn’t pause my monitor while waiting for the crosswalk light, so my average speed is a little slower as a result. Here we go.
- Distance: 4.8249 miles (7.7649 km)
- Time: 1:40:02 (20:44 / mile – 2.8939 mph avg)
- Heart Rate Max: 152 bpm (83%)
- Heart Rate Avg: 126 bpm (68%)
- Time in Heart Rate Zone (112 – 128 bpm): 1:07:25
- Energy burned: 985 kCal (55% fat) => 542 kCal fat
After that, I did about an hour worth of moderate floor work (scrubbing and mopping a room in my house), which Traineo calls 346 kCal (let’s call it 50% fat). So today, I’ve burned a total of 1331 kCal (719 kCal fat). I just have to keep on pushing.
