Gym for a Week: Update

Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by in Calorie Intake, Gym, Weight Loss

Today is the 4th day of the 7 days I said I would go to the gym without taking a break and I feel pretty good.

I find the more I workout, the less sore I actually get. I’ll be sore after the gym for a couple hours.. but the next morning I’m usually fine. I’m also finding that stuff that used to be difficult for me has become A LOT easier since losing weight; for example I can actually run on the stair climber for 10 minutes straight without stopping (before I could barely do 3 minutes). I can RUN on the treadmill for 15-20 minutes non stop, where before I couldn’t run at all. It’s amazing the more weight I lose, the easier things become (funny how that works).

The only negative thing that I have noticed since working out these past 4 days, is that everyday I have worked out, I have lost a pound. Today I’m at 242.5, a pound less then yesterday. I guess with my low calorie diet (1200 calories a day) and my extreme workout rate I’m just losing weight left and right. So today I have upped my calories to 1500, and I will hold that amount for the next couple of days. I’m happy losing 3-4 pounds a week, but not much more then that.

An update for today. :)

Cheers,
JayLoss

Current Weight: 242.5

      Yep, thanks! I’m thinking about working out for a month straight. I think I will see really good results after that.

    Isn’t it awesome when you start to see all of the stuff you are capable of?

    I loathe the stairclimber though, that machine can die and go to hell.

      Lol, yes it very much is. I actually like doing cardio now, it’s something I look forward to and want to do. The stair climber was never a big issue for me because I used to live in a third story apartment, and I was up and down stairs 3-4 times a day! Stairs.. I fear no stairs!

    I find it amazing how quickly our bodies adapt to these stresses we place upon them.

    Glad you’ve been able to continue hitting the gym. Sounds like you’re hitting it hard. Good to up the calories a bit. And yeah, funny about being smaller, it IS easier to run! I’m lovin it!

      I’m thinking about a month straight! I worked out for that one week and I gained muscle, lots of muscle! :)

      I love to see more of that.
