Finally...

after 5 LONG weeks, the scale has moved below the 244 mark.  I am now 243.  I have not been keeping up with my food intake as well as I should have been.  I am seriously considering going back to the way I was keeping accountable at the beginning, posting my daily intake here.  Even logging it into Daily Plate doesn't seem to keep me on top of things.  Regardless, it is seriously impossible at this point (my pouch is still very tight) to eat 3,000 calories a day to maintain my current weight and activity level. 

I have been thinking about the last 5 weeks and my weight a lot.  I am a very math oriented person.  Mathematically, if I am burning around 3,000 calories a day (according to my GoWear Fit) and only intaking 1,500, that is a 1,500 calorie deficit a day.  I, mathematically speaking, should have been losing 1 pound every 2-3 days, if 3,500 calories equal a pound.  What I have to remember is that our bodies are complex and not mathematical. 

I am now off to teach my first class.  I will post again later today, including my food intake.
