Knowledge is Power...

One of the reasons why I love the Bodybugg is because you find out what is in the foods you eat. You also find out how hard you have to workout to burn those calories.
Every Sunday, we make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies. They are my kids and husbands favorite, they are easy to make and I always have the ingredients on hand...a win-win. Well, I plugged the ingredients into the Bodybugg program, and guess what I discovered? One of those babies has 250 calories!!! Seriously. That's a good workout. That's a piece and a half of my favorite Papa Murphy's Chicken Artichoke Bacon Delite Pizza (180 calories a slice...I love this pizza!!!) So...needless to say, I may be have one cookie now and then, but I've been known to eat 5 in one night...yeah...no more!!!
Workout burns this week:
In addition to the ones already mentioned:
I've purchased Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred because I've heard so much about it. It's a great workout...but it's only about 25 minutes...which I guess could be good or bad. Nice on the days you need to get a quick workout in. I burned about 140 calories during this workout.
p90x Legs and Back is a great lower body workout. My legs are sore. I can tell I'm getting stronger, but I only burned about 190 calories during this hour long workout. I've decided that p90x is more about gaining muscle than about burning fat.
My biggest calorie burning workouts are still Turbo Jam at about 260 calories.
