Days 54 & 55 - I am still walking!

Hey! I am still here. I walked both yesterday and today on the treadmill and walked off over 700 calories. I am still keeping my food in check though I have changed the way I am doing things. I used to be on a 1600 calorie a day diet and I hit a plateau that was not working for me so I did some research and decided to ease up my calorie intake. I finally decided it was not so much how much I ate that I need to watch but how much I did not eat. for example. Most weight loss experts will tell you to eat 1000 calories less than you burn to lose weight. They will tell you this is the maximum amount you should take away from your body for healthy weight lose yadda yadda yadda! I would agree with this if I was starting out at 250 and trying to lose a few pounds. I started out at over 400lbs and I need to something a bit more drastic. So I am eating 3000 calories less than I burn for the day. The upside to this is...if I workout harder I can eat more. So food is a reward for me. If I am a good boy and do all the things I should be doing I can earn an extra snack. So there you have it. That is what is up with me. What's up with you?

  1. hey, if you want to get off the treadmill and get outside, I like going to highbanks and walking the 2.5 mile dripping rock trail. its got some pretty wicked hills in spots but I think you can do it. its on my endomondo(with some deviations from the 2.5mile version)
