Of course I was hoping for a big loss. I am always hoping for a big loss but I will take the .2 lbs. I’ve been watching my calories pretty close and have stayed right around my 2000-2200 goal for each day. I really enjoy the way that the FitDay software allows me to see different stats. Finally there is a way to see how I am losing by how many calories I consume per day.

I have set my short term goal to be at 262 lbs by the end of the month. But of course you know that I am hoping for more. It’s almost 8 pm and I will try and not eat anything until tomorrow morning. That is a rule that I am trying to follow. No food after 7 pm. I didn’t exercise today but I plan to get on the elliptical machine bright and early in the morning.

I couldn’t hardly sleep last night. I got up and took a quick shower and put on my gym clothes. I gathered my work clothes and put them in my gym bag and headed out.

I got to the gym at 5 am but they don’t open until 5:15 am so I sat and listened to the radio for a few minutes. When the gym opened it was amazing to see so many people at that time of the morning. I finally found out where all the skinny people go. Me and another person were probably the only 2 over weight. Almost all of the women had beach bodies except for a few that I actually thought were too skinny.

I completed my workout on the elliptical machine in 30 minutes which burned approximately 220 calories. I forgot to mention that I had one and a half bowls of Special K before I left for the gym. That was 330 calories plus 80 calories for the milk for approximately 410 calories. So I was able to work off about half of my morning breakfast.

After work I entered more information into my FitDay software and now I can accurately see when I am heading into trouble and when I am on target. As of right this moment at 8 pm I have eaten 1,764 calories for the day. My goal is to eat 2,276 or less per day to achieve my weight loss. That is based upon me cutting back 1025 calories per day. If you remember that 500 calories more or less per day equals 1 pound per week. Therefore I should lose 2 pounds every week if I stick with this plan.

Weight: 269 lbs

I’ve exercised for the past two days. The first day which was yesterday, I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine and today I did 30 minutes on it. I think one of the secondary things about working out is that you are more conscious about what you are eating.

I feel good for having exercised, I just hope to see some results by doing it. Although my video says one thing I think I am leaning back more towards the Weight Watchers Points system. It does allow you to eat anything you want but you just have to watch out how much you want.
