Calories Consumed: 1411 (too low)
Calories Burned: 4306
Work Out: Today - 20 minutes, March - 686 minutes
I was really surprised when I saw that I only took in 1411 calories today. I definitely wasn't expecting that. That's obviously too low, but it's only one day. I'll make sure to boost that back up where I need to be for tomorrow.
I also ran short on time this morning, so I made sure that I spent my 20 minutes appropriately. Josh told me before that "when doing cardio, do the stuff that is the hardest". I found this Elliptical type machine... sort of like a regular Elliptical but for some reason it's about 300x harder. So, I did 10 minutes on the regular Elliptical, and then 10 minutes on this machine of doom. I am eventually building up on this thing.. 5 minutes 2 days ago, up to 7 yesterday, and I got to 10 today. I need to figure out what it is.. but all I can tell you is, when I was done with 10 minutes on it, sweat was pouring off of me so hard, it's not an exaggeration when I say that it looks like I just pulled my head out of being submerged in a pool of water. I was soaked, my heart was POUNDING, and my body felt like I could barely stand up.
Needless to say, it goes back to my new life's motto:
"Pain is but weakness leaving the body".
Also, my weight has been hovering around 319 for a while.. time to break out of that plateau. I'm looking forward to keeping up this great pace that I had at the beginning of March. Catch ya'll tomorrow.

nice- I'd be curious as to the machine you speak of...
Those mini-plateaus are inevitable. Just part of the process. It's so hard to accept sometimes, when you're losing consistently for a week or 2, and then it stops.
It's funny how "in the moment" we are. Remember my "great flatlands plateau"? I'm down 11 pounds from that now! But at the time, it seemed insurmountable.
"Pain is but weakness leaving the body".
I LOVE that motto! I can't remember where I saw it or what brand it was for, but the slogan stuck. Great way to look at it and awesome job on your workout.
BTW, I think I know what machine you're talking about. My company's in production with one now and I'm dying to try it out!
