Days 5 & 6

Day 5:

Weight = 132

Calories = 1322

Carbs = 85

Fat = 87

Protien = 83

I was feeling a little nauseous in the afternoon and at that point my carb intake was super low, like 40g or something - so I decided I needed some more carbs. I put a cup of blueberries in a shake and that jacked it up to the number you see here. I felt better after that.

Exercise:

Rode my bike along the lakefront and did some sprints. I try to do this 1x a week. I sprint for 20 seconds, regular for 10 seconds - I repeat that 10x (5 minutes) and then complete the ride at a regular pace (somewhere between 125-140 bpm). Burned something like 470 calories.

Day 6

Weight = 131

Calories = 1224

Carbs = 97

Fat = 67

Protien = 65

This day was hard because I had brunch at a friends house for my friend's birthday. This sorta threw my numbers all out of whack with regards to ratios of carbs to fats and whatever, even though I ate fine (quiche and fruit) I TOTALLY resisted the pastry treats and doughnuts there, oh AND mimosas, other alcohol, and juices. Turns out, saying no to the super sugary stuff hasn't been nearly as hard as I'd anticipated.

EXERCISE:

None. Today was my day off. :-)

I am a little worried about the 4lb weight loss in one week though. I think it is possible that my RMR (resting metabolic rate) is a bit higher than I have gathered off internet calculations and am therefore burning through calories at a faster rate. It's also possible that with the amount of muscle I currently have, that my metabolism is working faster than I'd calculated for. Not gonna complain! But I'm going to see how it looks this week and if I continue to lose lbs that fast I'll up my caloric intake a bit to slow it down a smidge. I don't think its really healthy to lose more than 2lbs a week.
