I had a perfect, on-plan day yesterday. 1400 cal eaten, 336 cal workout, and drank 96 oz of water. I had another good weigh-off this morning, so I'm feeling really good about that. Feeling a little anxious about how long the weight-loss will take. Been playing with the numbers and projecting my BMR at my
goal weight and how much I will need to workout if I want to maintain 2#/week
weight loss around that weight (while keeping eating at 1400 cal). I think when I get down toward that weight, I may need to scale back the
weight loss to 1#/week unless I would be OK then with having workouts that burn 800
calories at a clip. I do need to think about the weight-loss less and focus on other things.
I'm liking how my
body is already changing. My face is "hardening" a little bit, and my stomach is showing the faint outlines of some definition between my sides and my main abdominal muscles. I've only lost 3
pounds and already I feel more confident and look "better" in shirts.
Before today, I've worked out 4 days in a row. I kind of want to impress a girlfriend who is visiting tomorrow, so I pushed my consequetive days of workouts one extra day than usual (4 instead of 3). Today, I'm giving myself an off day though my
body isn't in any pain. I will use the extra time to clean and organize around the house. Tomorrow, the girlfriend arrives yet I should workout so my
cardio-capacity doesn't fade. So I either need to workout in the morning (very likely) or at night. Considering that we'll probably be up late, I'm gonna have to plan ahead and workout in the morning. I wonder how many folks will be at the new
gym in the morning instead of at 6pm?
