OUCH ... the truth hurts!

OK, here I am feeling pretty good at myself b/c I think I've been doing a good job at being faithful to the new regimen of monitoring calories in, calories burned, minimum steps and minimum cardio. You see, the AVERAGE calorie burn for the 30 day period was 2807. This means that I have met my target despite my not hitting my goals on a daily basis.

HOWEVER, my dismay at not losing more weight- or at least the two pounds a week I'm striving towards- is easily explained. First there was the two week period that I had bronchitis that just kind of ruined my whole schemata ... I maintained, which is better than gaining. But when I started to analyse the different tools that are measured, I realized I had been kidding myself. When I first started I was adamant about hitting each target, daily. Then I slacked off. You can see the ugly truth by looking at the graph here of the past 30 days and my cardio activity.

You see, I tend to extend myself on the weekends and burn lots of calories by doing multiple activities. On average, I accomplished 1 hour and seven minutes over the thirty day period. BUT, that's because on the weekends its 2-3 hours, and during the week there are significant drop offs.

So, I'm back to the beginning ... now that I understand the consequences ... and cause ... I'm going to commit to maxing out each and every target, every day. Wish me luck!
