Today I went to get weighed in at Dr Bishops office here in Ottawa. I topped the scale at 503 pounds. A total weight loss of 7 pounds since I got last got weighed on January 19.
I have kinda mixed emotions about this weeks weight loss. On one hand I am really happy that I dropped 1 pound a day on average for this week. On the other hand, I want to know what I can do more to drop some more weight.
This past week, I have eaten amazing. On average I am eating two salads a day, with at least 1 protein shake a day, plus an egg white omelette each day. I haven't really measured my calories to be precise but to estimate, I am puttig in about 2500 Calories a day into my body, and I am fine with this.
I have been going to the pool each day as well. I missed only one day this week, and that was on Jan 21. So 6 days of being in the pool combined with a great eating week, I expected more weight to come off.. I think I figured out why. I have been going to the pool for a very long time, and I think my body has been adapting to my time in the pool and in turn, I am not getting the full effect as I should be. What I need to do now, this week, is stun my body with some other type of exercise and still keep going to the pool.
I am not sure as of this second what exercise that will be, but I will note it on my next blog. I am contemplating walking, exercise bike or renting out a gymnasium with some friends a few times a week and just going to shoot some baskets or play badminton. Something needs to be added for me to maximize my weight loss. I am eating so well right now...this is the perfect opportunity to add something else to my workout regime.
Talk soon, will post something on the weekend.
