It's all good so far

Saturday 1/30/10 back on treadmill today. Average 3.5 mph grade varied but most 10% and burned 886 calories. Ankle sore.

The good news, on Saturday I weighed in on the club scale 252 pounds and the good news is that the club scale matches kitchen scale total and showed that I have lost 14 pounds since starting this endeavor. I was worried at Thursday am weekly weigh in with only 1 pound lost since the previous week, but when I got on the kitchen scale Friday morning and saw that I has lost another 1.5 pound loss, keeping me on my 2.5 lbs/week goal.

My goal has a planned calorie intake along with level of exercise. I may have overestimated the amount of exercise I get when I don’t go to the club. I reset daily calorie goals on livestrong.com to 1800 calories per day decreasing from 2000 calories per day. It is challenging but doable. The rate drops anyway as my weight does.

It calls form more menu watching and looking for more opportunities to get some exercise in. I tend to look at the menu more and google a lot of nutrition data, estimating servings etc. It appears to be working.

Monday was a treadmill day. 4 miles in 73 minutes. Inclines ranged from 3 to 10 and back down at 3.5 mph. I like having negative calories before dinner.
