fridays workout and adjustments to loseit!

Here is what I did today at the gym:


Elliptical-6.22 miles, 711 calories burned.   I felt very good during this entire workout.  I did it on a resistance of 6 the whole time. 

I also lifted weights for about 10 minutes.  My arms are sore now lol.

Also, I had to adjust my Loseit! settings for my caloric intake.  After discussing what my calorie intake daily was with several "fit" people, they all said I wasn't eating enough.  I was hungry a lot.  So, I came home and did an online calculator for how many calories I should eat for weight loss for my activity level.  My activity level is moderate (between work and working out 5-6 times a week).  All three of the calculators I used said I should be eating about 200 more calories a day than what Loseit! had me eating.  So, I went back to adjust my plan and I clicked on a link that I never bothered to read before about how they calculate my caloric intake.  They based it off having a SEDENTARY lifestyle!  Which, is SO not what I have.  So, I adjusted my caloric intake to what the other online calculators said to do.  We shall see how it goes.  I am not hungry tonight though, and I'm still 299 calories below my new target.  So, hopefully that makes me feel a little better.

The next few days I work in the morning and I think Adam only works tomorrow night.  So, I will be posting gym pics for the next few days for sure.  I think my next "day of rest" will be on Wednesday.  Maybe, it depends I guess. 

Ok, well, that's all to report for now.  I'm feeling happy, strong, energized, and motivated!
