My experiment
Friday, December 26th 2008
Well I let myself go over on the calories on Christmas day and today I am up to 173.0. So off to the gym to see what happens. How hard will it be to get it off again? Is it just water? I didn't eat enough to gain one pound.Using the CK tool, it says that it takes 1727 calories to maintain my weight just as it is.
So 1350 per day should do the trick but I still wonder about eating back calories I have burned off in exercise.
Ready for a challenge? How about back to 171 by Tuesday...
Christmas Eve Day

Woke up to lots of snow falling... it was beautiful. Still holding just around my first intermediate goal of 172. Didn't make it to the gym because I spent too much time in the car getting Skyler's friend. Sky passed the driving test.It's Christmas EVe night and we aren't at Patsy and Dad's. That's a little sad. But we will have a quieter Christmas.
Stalled out - 172

Need to feel hungry to lose weight! Not sure if exercising and eating back calories is a good thing.Newsflash: I just found out that one gram of bad carbs causes the body to store 2.7 grams of fluid. I think that is what happened yesterday when I ate two scones... bad bad carbs.
Today I exercised again. Felt stronger.
Wow. Keep going down.

170.... bounced to 169 and back. But at least I caught a glimpse of the 160s. Amazing. Fiber is helping. But now I have over-exercised maybe?It is so cold...brrrrrrr. A blizzard is coming.

Stayed close to calorie limit and hit 171.0 with bed clothes on. WOW. This is great. I am learning to avoid foods that shove my calorie limit too high, mostly fatty foods. Now my home scale seems to be off from the gym scale. But its all relative right?Did a weigh in and the CK program reminded me that I hit my intermediate goal weight. So set a new one! Hey can't I just bask in the glory for even an hour? Before getting back in the saddle?
Well I set a new intermediate weight - the one...
