Saturday!
I woke up naturally and then stayed in bed for a few. As all saturdays should be! I weighed 214 this morning, so 2 more pounds down! 11 total so far in a week! 29 more to go, at about a pound a day I should be there in a month. The sad thing is I keep telling myself that when I get there I will pig out or something. That can put 10 pounds back on me really quick, like in a night. My body is pretty crazy. The really sad thing is that the difference between losing a pound a day, and maintaining my weight is just a mild increase in calories. Like going from 6 oz of meat to 8 and adding a few fruits in at morning and evening meals. A pound of weight is about 3500 calories. So each day I lose 1 pound I am shorting myself that many calories. If I eat 1500 calories a day, which is about what I'm doing right now, then I am burning that plus 3500 which means I burn about 5000 calories on a normal day. I'm a big active guy, but god that seems crazy. I can't wait to start lifting weights again too. I'm gonna go light this time Breakfast 2 eggs 1 oz oatmeal 1 black coffee Lunch 6 oz chicken 12 oz mixed veggies Dinner ?
