Calories eaten: 1633

Calories burned: 2807 (!)

Part of home ownership is yard ownership. We spent the day removing an old barbed wire fence and clearing brush around an old fence along the back of the property. I’m not convinced that I actually burned 2807 calories, but that’s what my “Lose It!” iPhone app tells me.

The weight “gain” I expected, the vast majority of the weight I’ve lost so far is almost certainly water weight. I could plot my net calorie loss (accounting for RMR), but weight will eventually line up with that. I’m told water weight can vary by 5 lbs/day, so as long as the long term plot of my weight is trending down, I’m happy.

Target weight: ~170 lbs (!!)

Yep. It’s that bad. The good news is that water weight changes pretty quickly, which makes the first few days of any diet/exercise lifestyle change nice and productive.

Today’s Weight: 327.4 lbs

Total Lost So Far: 7.6 lbs

Amount to Lose: 157.4 lbs
