Yesterday was quite the struggle with my allergies. Terrible sinus pressure and headache and the result was another low calorie day. It was a good time to just rest and make sure I got in at least 8 hours of sleep. My appetite is just gone which I think is partly because of the allergies and as I mentioned before I'm just not hungry, weird. I don't think I'm going to have a long term problem here but I will keep an eye on it. Back to work I go.
Have a great day.

The pollen is in full force here in northern Alabama and last night my allergies kicked in. My calories were again very low especially with the workouts. Today will be better and I will work to improve my nutrition each day. Back to work.
Have a great day.

March Weight Loss.
Number of Workouts: 21
Previous Month: 17
March Exercise Minutes - 40 min. to 120 min.
As March comes to a close I can't be more pleased with my progress. With just over 14 pounds of weight loss and slightly increased activity from February I'm extremely happy. Now it's time to attack April! This tends to be a rough month for me as I fight the dreaded allergies, so far they haven't been terrible.
April Starting Weight: 272.5
April Goals
Weight Loss: 10 Pounds
Workouts: 25
My calories were a bit low yesterday and I had a awful time getting any sleep last night. First night in a while that I struggled so I guess I can't complain. Time for a new month new goals...time to move and time to lose.
Have a great day.

Road Trip...
Sunday Totals
Calories: 1850
Cardio: 65 Min Elliptical @ 5.36 Miles
Sleep: 7.5 hours
Water: 96oz
Today's Weight: 275
I woke up Friday morning and started my normal routine but around 10am things changed. I got a call that a family member in South Carolina is having chest pains and shortness of breath and they're being rushed to the hospital. I packed up the family and we started our trek back to South Carolina.
Fortunately about an hour into the trip we find out that it's not a heart attack and that they're continuing to run test. In the end they think it was a severe panic attack and this family member was resting at home by Friday evening. We decided to continue on and just spend the weekend there and I'm happy to report that my nutrition stayed in check. I'm just glad that they're OK and it wasn't worse than it was.
After the 6.5 hour ride back I decided to hit the gym and I had a great workout. With March coming to end today I will squeeze one more workout in this month and do my totals in my update tomorrow morning.
Have a great day.

Sleep: 7 hours
Water: 128oz
Today's Weight: 274
Calories again were entirely to low and to be honest I'm still not worried about it because I know they will get better but also because I'm paying attention to the way I feel. I felt great last night going 40 minutes on the elliptical and felt great the rest of the evening. Not much else to report.
Have a great day.

Much better calorie number yesterday getting just over the 2k mark. I've continued to grip train a few times a week so I will start recording these again here as well. I still would love to close the number 2 gripper by June 1, we shall see. I went a full hour last night and my mental state wasn't that great but overall the workout went ok.
Time to get back to work.

Finding My Way...
Tuesday
Calories: 1390
Cardio: 40 Min Elliptical @ 2.89 Miles
Sleep: 7 hours
Water: 134oz
Today's Weight: 275
Much better workout last night and the allergies have been somewhat contained so far and I hope it stays that way for the next month. My calories were way too low and after running my numbers manually using the Harris Benedict equation to calculate my BMI I have what I feel to be a more accurate number to reach each day. I intended to get in another 400 calories last night but I just wasn't hungry.
As I continue to lose weight it's going to be very important that I fuel my body properly because I fully intend to increase my level of activity and I can't do that at 1400 calories a day, no way! At the very minimum I should be around 2200 but ideally with 5 days plus of cardio I should be right at 2700 for two pounds a week weight loss and that number will be adjusted as I continue to lose weight. My biggest problem is eating enough calories for my two early meals so that is going to change moving forward.
Time to get some work done, have a great day!
