Day 2 of 98:

Started this morning with my "short loop" around the neighborhood. It came out to 2.6 miles and was done in 29 minutes, so a good pace (Fittie calculated 10 flights of stairs due to the hilly parts).

Well, after getting the final info back from Fitbit and Myfitnesspal's entries, I ended up with 1530 calories in and 3320 calories out, so I ended up with almost an 1800 calorie deficit, or nearly twice what I first thought. Vastly underestimated my calories burned somehow, but since my energy levels were pretty good I won't worry about it overmuch. Still learning how to make my toys play nice with each other.
 Today and tomorrow will be more of the same diet-wise, with Thursday being my first refeed day of the challenge. First week's measurements will be on Sunday morning, so assuming I maintain the current path, I'm hoping for a solid 3 pounds of fat loss with minimal loss of lean body mass. Might even gain some, as my arms seem to have gotten a bit skinny over the last few months. We shall see...

Leg workout today, so that should be fun. I'll post up again later. On a lighter note, we had some fun creating characters for ourselves in a Star Wars theme for the challenge and the video we put together got a mention on Tom Venuto's Facebook so that was kind of cool. You can see the video below:


 (Yes, it's corny, but we're having fun so who cares?):
