Weight this morning was 249.5. That's down 1.5 lbs. Not the week I was hoping for, but at least it's a loss, and it gets me back under 250.
Food - I ate 13,252 calories which is an average of 1893/day. That's about 7.5XBW at 250 lbs. That should be considerably below maintenance.
Exercise - I didn't reach either goal I set last week. I lifted 6 times, and did about 2 hours of cardio for the week. I did burn 1664 calories which is pretty close to what I wanted.
I would have expected more loss from those numbers.
For this week, I'm not going to change the food intake much. I'm going to try to eat right at 14,000 calories for the week. I want to burn 2000 calories with exercise, and I want to improve my cardio. While I did cardio last week, I want to have longer sustained sessions of cardio. Instead of 30 minutes 3 times, I want to do 90 minutes in a session. From a pure calorie burning standpoint it may not make much difference, but if the long term goal is to get into better shape overall, then I've got to spend longer periods of time exercising. That's going to mean longer runs after work, and at least one long ride this weekend. We'll see if that helps.
