Day 71 was pretty uneventful. I went to work. I skipped the gym and I watched a lot of comedy on TV. The Office, Community, Shit My Dad Says, and Outsourced. It was all kinds of funny!
Day 72 was big weigh day number 5. earlier in the week I was down to 390 and was getting excited. This morning I stepped on the scale and I saw 393. That's not cool. So I started questioning myself. I have slipped a lot lately, but My standards were so high that I have far to fall. On my worst day I have eaten 2600 calories. That is with at least a 350 calorie workout. Taking me to 2250 calories. My BMR is between 4418 and 4980. Doing the math I am using a minimum of 1818 calories more a day than I intake. So the question becomes am I eating too much or not enough? I am not sure. My plan this week is to eat 2500 calories a day regardless of how much I exercise. I am on vacation so that gives me some room to enjoy myself. I am also going to avoid the scale totally until next Friday. I usually check it everyday, but that is not helping. Depending on the results of this experiment I will either stay at 2500 calories until my BMR starts to go down or I will cut back down to 1600 calories a day where I started.
I am trying to take a scientific approach to this. I started this after reading Sean Anderson's blog and initially I planned to do just what he did. I soon started thinking hey what if eating so little slowed his progress? What if he could have lost weight faster? That is when I started to do research and that is why I am experimenting. I just want you all to know that My resolve has not wained and there is a method to my madness.
I will be hitting the gym tonight after work oh and "I am on Vacation!!!" I'm on Vacation!! :p
Until next time,
Sean
