Weight Loss and Exercise is not always easy
Well, my 3,500 Calorie Exercise Weight Loss Challenge is proving more difficult than I thought.
Yesterday, Monday, I got up early and did 25 minutes on the treadmill and some push ups and sit-ups to burn about 300 calories. I worked all day, so by the time I got home at night I had no energy to burn another 200 calories, so I started the week off 200 calories short of my 500 calorie per day goa.
Today, Tuesday, I got up early again, did 25 minutes on the treadmill, plus some weight lifting. In my 40 minute plus workout I probably burned another 300 calories. This evening I went for a bike ride, but it was a short one, so that was only good for another 100 calories, meaning 400 on the day, so short another 100 calories.
For the week: short 200 on Monday and 100 on Tuesday, so I’m down 300 calories. Not good..
My other worry is that getting up early every morning gets harder as the week goes on. I get to bed as early as I can, but it’s still not easy. We shall see how the week progresses.
