Day 3 Recap & Day 4
Dec 14 2007 09:55

Day 3 was the start of my water goal.  Unfortunatley I fell way short.  I wanted 100oz, probably only got down about 70oz.  But that's ok I suppose.  Calorie wise I did pretty good, 1601 in - 3100 out (according to the calorie counter/activity log.)  Leaving me with a deficit of 1499.  Best part of this whole thing is that although I've severly cut my calorie intake, while increasing my burn, I'm not at all hungry.  Which is very surprising.

Day 4 started early, right about 5:30am.  Woke up and, gruggingly, went to the gym to participate in my 1st spinning class.  When I got there though, it seemed to have been full.  So my initial reaction was, "Sweet!  I'm going to go home and go back to sleep for an hour."  But alas, I didn't leave.  I ran a half mile in 4:23, and probably could have continued.  I've finally got myself to the point where I can run without cramping up.  (Although this is Day 4 of weight loss, I've been going to the gym non-chalantly for 2 months.)  After my quick warm up run I spend 28:40 seconds on the elliptical, where I burned 500 calories!  I've been burning about 800 in an hour, so that 500 in 30mins is a real boost from my normal.  When I woke up I ate a banana to give me a little boost to get myself going in the morning.  When I got to work I poured myself a bowl of Kashi Promist Strawberry Fields, without milk though.  It was delicious.  Lunch will probably be another bowl (but this time with milk.)  See ya'll tomorrow.
