It’s been 20 days since I started to post semi regularly and trying to keep track of my diet and exercise. My daily diet hasn’t changed much since I started posting. I’m working on getting better at updating the Lose It app to track calories. I seem to forget about it Fri-Sun.<\/p>\n
Average Daily calorie intake<\/strong><\/p>\n Mon – Thurs = Approx 1800 along Fri – Sunday = I would say it’s roughly still around the same amount. But sometimes it’s over the top<\/p>\n Weekly Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n Mon = Sometimes a walk I’ve been starting to add a slow run into my walks and i’m getting farther distance with each run.<\/p>\n Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n Over the last 20 days my weight has swung from 250 down to 246 and today settles this evening at 248.8 What am I going to do now?<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m not sure my diet is the major problem. My diet isn’t perfect but overall I think my calorie count is not that high for my height\/weight.<\/p>\n I’m not getting enough exercise and I really need to add in some weight training of some sort. I’m going to start with the basic 7 minute work out every day and still keep my 3 day a week 3 mile walks.<\/p>\n I started thinking about this after my friend Oscar<\/a>\u00a0linked this article\u00a0How I got 2.3 million app downloads (without spending a cent on marketing)<\/a>.\u00a0The article is about a guy who made a 7-minute workout app. It’s a great article.<\/p>\n This article at the NY Times<\/a> has some good explanation about the 7 minute workout. Here is an update that has kicks it up a notch The Advanced 7-minute workout<\/a><\/p>\n I’m not going to use the app. Instead I’m going to stream a YouTube video like this one to the TV.<\/p>\n
\nAfter exercise it’s approx 1500<\/p>\n
\nTues & Thurs = Brisk 3 mile walk approx 40min
\nWed & Fri = Nothing
\nWeekend = At least 1 Brisk 3 mile walk<\/p>\n
\nI expected more loss. WTF!<\/p>\n
