Weekly Weigh-in: WEEK 2



Starting weight: 192.0  lbs
 
Week 1 weight: 190.5 lbs (loss of 1.5)
Week 2 weight: 188.0 lbs (loss of 2.5)
 
 
Week 1 inches lost: 0.75"
Week 2 inches lost: 0.75"

 
Week 1 Steps/Miles: 106,731 / 45.89 mi.
Week 2 Steps/Miles: 109,858 / 48.48 mi.

 
Week 1 avg. calorie intake: 1,955
Week 2 avg. calorie intake: 1,621  (much better - I met this week's goal!)
 
 
Moment I am proud of: Even though I was super, super tired on Friday (I think I hit a calorie deficit slump), I did manage to drag myself out for a second walk for the day, in the evening with Dean.  He hadn't reached his 10,000 steps yet for the day, so I went with him. 
 
 
Nutritional changes/observations: We used large red lettuce leaves to make our sandwiches this week, instead of bread.  It was actually really, really good, and saved about 200 calories!

Another thing I read about and then subsequently tried was eating watermelon after a strenuous workout.  It really worked.  It rehydrates you and contains more potassium than a banana, and potassium helps ward off muscle cramping.
 
 
What hurts: my calves are absolutely barking...  I really need to remember to stretch, multiple times a day.
 
 
Confessional: I am proud to say I have nothing to confess this week!
 
 
Deep thoughts from exercise delirium: The older I get, the more time it takes me to recover from exercise.  I really need to be careful and not push myself too hard.
 
 
My goal for next week: meet, if not slightly beat my caloric intake.  My goal is an avg. of 1,500/day.
