Tuesday!

So today is Tuesday! Unfortunately, I woke up really late! I woke up at 6:30 am... bizarre. Good news, though. My first thought was "crap... I need to go exercise".

So I did.

Upright Bike -- 5.5 miles, 20 minutes, 100 calories burned
Treadmill (walking) -- 1.25 miles, 20 minutes, 150 calories burned
Elliptical -- n/a, 4 minutes, 50 calories burned

Total calories burned -- 300!

157,200 - 300 = 156,900 to go. I'm not sure how accurate this count is... so we will be doing our own correlation between calories burned and weight lost. Thus, just this week, 600 calories burned due to intentional exercise. This does not count the effort to be more active in my daily life.

There are 20 weeks after this week of the Great Fat Off challenge. Thus, I need to lose approximately 2.13 pounds per week.

I have decided to get a membership at one of the local fitness centers because I can access it at any time. This works for me since the fitness center I use has treadmills where I cannot run because the machines are too cheap. I would go run on the track, but I do not like running with others especially as more sports are beginning to train and such. And I must exercise in the mornings.

Yesterday, I ate okay. The all-you-can-eat meals is quite difficult to watch the number of calories I consumed. Next year, I will definitely get less meals and more points. Last semester, I had gotten middle amount of points and meals. Now I have less points and more meals. It just does not work. I mean, having more points is bad if all you eat is taco bell. That would be the life!!! But, sadly, it's not mine.

Well, I am going to go conquer Tuesday!
