Good morning, World!

Hello, World!

Today is Monday, and a great Monday it is! Let me tell you about this weekend where I went home... and eat a lot of food. I tried to watch how much I ate; however, I don't think I did such a great job. I also did not exercise on Saturday or Sunday...

But today I have continued my exercise routine and pushed myself do work harder.

Upright Bike -- 15 minutes, 4 miles, burned 73 calories
Treadmill -- 16.5 minutes, 1 mile, burned 147 calories
Elliptical -- 7 minutes, unsure, burned 80 calories

Total calories burned -- 300!!! Twice as much as I have been burning.

Apparently I need to burn 157,500 calories to lose the necessary 45 pounds. I won't show you the amount of exercise non-stop required to burn this amount of calories. But let's start a count down.

157,500 - 300 = 157,200!

Now, I must maintain a healthy consumption of calories. My caloric intake should be around 1800 calories.

Today so far, honey bunches of oats with almonds and skim milk --- 170 calories.

I'll keep you updated!

  1. Men's Health says that for ever 1 lb of muscle gained your body has to burn an additional 15-30 calories a day, just to maintain itself. Perhaps you should add some weight lifting to your workouts?
