Weeks 2 & 3 - Weigh in...(2nd & 9th November 2011)

Ok, so I'm not that great with updating my blog.  :-/

I don't really go on the PC much.


Week 2 - Weigh in... (2nd Nov)
Weight: 76.5 kg

Week 3 - Weigh in... (9th Nov)

Weight: 75.6 kg

Weight loss going as planned (about lah).. 

Just increased my daily cardio workout on Tuesday (8th Nov).

According to the machines, it's 300 cals on the cross trainer,  500 cals on the treadmill and 700 cals on the bike...(total of 1500 calories).
This is the minimum standard. I will increase accordingly if I feel I am able to do it. 

E.g. 300 cals on the cross trainer,  600 cals on the treadmill and 900 cals on the bike...(total of 1800 calories).

Now I do machines and cardio on Mon, Wed & Fri.
Cardio only on Tue, Thu and Sat.
On Sundays, I do my stationary bike at home....trying to get in 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening.

Now I have to check my food intake...next research...good foods to eat to help keep me healthy and also help burn fat.

New info learned..

Taken from here.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the rate at which your total amount of energy your body burns over time while your body is at rest. BMR is the most common measure to find out your metabolism rate. Another common measure is Resting Metabolic Rate(RMR). Unlike the BMR, the RMR is defined as the rate which your total amount of energy that your body burns over time while your body is not doing anything i.e. lying on bed, sitting around.

Male BMR = 66 + (Weight in kg x 13.7) + (5 x Height in cm) – (6.8 x Age)

Female BMR = 655 + (Weight in kg x 9.6) + (1.7 x Height in cm) – (4.7 x Age)

Apparently, my BMR is about 1558.
