Nick's Weight Loss Journal - Day 1: Ouchie, ouchie, ouchie!

Ok, my body hurts after my first workout, which concentrated on keeping moving. I broke a sweat, which means I definitely burned some calories. 95, according to the game. I tried some of the Gold's Gym, which focuses mostly on boxing, but decided to get right into the workout on the other game. I then logged into Wii Fit to record my weight. It's been two days since I last checked everything, and I really haven't been feeling well all week. And the results are:

Weight: 282.6 lbs
BMI: 40.46

This mean I've lost 8.8 lbs in two days. While this may sound like a great thing, it's not. You're supposed to lose that much over the course of about 6 weeks, not 2 days. However, there are a couple things that I think attribute to that:

1.) The last time I checked my weight, I did so in the evening. Today, I did it in the morning. I've read that you burn about 1000 calories while you sleep.

2.) I got rid of some waste before starting my workout, and didn't eat anything until after my workout.

3.) I didn't eat as much as I normally do. I wasn't feeling well, so I hit the hay at about 8:00 PM and didn't wake up until 9:00 AM.

Still, almost 9 pounds in two days? I guess I should count this as a blessing.

This morning, I had a bowl of Cheerios with some 1% milk, and a slice of apple. (Thanks Matteus) In the afternoon I had a bit of tuna casserole, which I discovered I liked, and some tuna loaf, which I didn't. In the evening, I broke down and ate two chicken patties, since I'd eaten relatively little all day. I was good tho; I has the opportunity to eat chocolate and such and resisted.

Day 1, done. Next foot forward.
