Day 38

Weigh in: 217.2

So, down a few pounds since Monday, but not what I was hoping.  I was attempting to get all the way back down to 214 by now.  I guess eating more calories, and the extra hour of cardio isn’t quite working out.  Either I need to eat less or exercises more, and at 2 hours a day right now, I can’t really do more there.  Lower calories it is, which sucks, I love the goodies.

However, if things keep going like this, I could still be down 4 pounds for the week, which isn’t too shabby.  Just not the rapid weight gain I had when I was taking in a net 500 calories a day.  Currently it is around a number caloric intake of 1800 calories a day.  I think the 500 day sent my body in to conservation mode, so it is going to be packing on the extra weight for a while, until it is convinced there is no famine and it is okay to shed a few.  We shall see.  I do find it interesting the ups and downs of weight loss.  It used to frustrate me, but with the calorie counting and the freedom to eat whatever I want, the frustration is gone, it is just more interesting. Oh well.
