note about fasting day workouts

I work out every day. I should probably clarify, though, that I never do an intense workout when I am fasting. When fasting, I simply do a light toning workout and an easy 30-60 minutes on an elliptical, or even just a walk. If I am worried about getting dizzy, I will do maybe like 30 minutes on a stationary bike so I won't faint.

Exercise makes me feel alive, but I only worry about burning calories on days where I eat! On fasting days, I just do it to feel alive, clear my head, and keep my body toned (lack of protein from food --> flab!).

Hope you guys are doing well! I ended up not fasting today, tomorrow I will. Stay safe and strong and beautiful my darlings! I'm off to the gym. I'll comment on your blogs tonight when I get back! Oh and also, how much do you guys believe walking burns? I mean, I know moving in general burns calories, but if you aren't sweaty or panting, I have a hard time accepting that it is in fact a workout. All the calorie counting websites say you can burn a ton walking, and I like to believe it, but I'm afraid. What do you think?

Also, I have a new scale and measuring tape!! My scale before was in fact stealing my roommate's when she was out of the room, awkward... And my measuring tape was made of paper. But now I have a legit scale and cloth measuring tape! I win! Haha. Also I get bored of inches and pounds so I'm getting into the metric system. I'm such a weirdo, but I like changing things up. So I am 172 cm, and 58 kg. I'm a math major so I love conversions and calculations for this stuff. Alright now SERIOUSLY enough procrastinating, it's gym time!

Who likes the book Wasted? Do you guys find it good or too emotional? Triggering or somewhat healing? ALSO to those of you who watch Gossip Girl,,,,,,oh my goodness CHUCK AND BLAIR. Seriously. I love it. OK xox <3

  1. Glad to hear your staying safe with the exercising & fasting :) & walking does burn lots of calories- I didn't believe it till I wore my heart rate monitor when I was walking round the city shopping one day- I managed to burn more than my gym workout! Stay strong xxx

  2. Great job with the workouts! I also don't exercise too much when fasting. It makes me too hungry.
    I don't know metric :(

    I'd love you forever :D
    Stay superstrong! <3
