Ack!!!

This tells me that last week weight was not accurate, what went wrong? I followed the same diet with little variation but the calories were the same so I know I did not gained weight. Next weeks weight will give more information on what’s happening. Either way I was 263 when I started this, so if this week’s weight is the correct one it means I still lost weight at an average of a pound per week, and that’s good. Lets see what happens next week.

I know I said that I would increase the exercising time, well, now I won’t. I need to maximize on performance before adding extra time to the workout. I MIGHT add 10 minutes extra but that will be for the warm-up routine. I know I can maximize the Calories burned to 100-120 on just 30 minutes but to do that I have to increase speed, and to increase speed and maintain it for 10 to 15 minutes I need to work on resistance, so it’s going to take some time and adjustment. I will train my leg muscles for two weeks on the upper levels of the cycle (the heavy ones) and then repeat this test again to see how I improve my performance.
