Day 11

Weigh in: 227.2.

I was not pleased with the weigh in this morning. I ended the day last night 745 calories below my max allowed.  So I turned up the intensity this morning on the elliptical, and went an extra 15 minutes. It is a process.  I always hate this stage, as the weight starts to slowly come off.  It is always great when you first start to lose the weigh, it flies off, then you body quickly adjusts, and it just becomes a long, drawn out battle to get anywhere.  So here we are, here is the start of the really tough period. You can’t afford to get discouraged, or weaken, just stay the course.  If you take in fewer calories than your body burns in a day, the weight will come off, but not in the rapid manner it was doing it before hand.

I ate breakfast today, but with my added exercise, I still have over 2,200 calories left in my calorie bank. That is a pretty good way to start the day.
