We just might find out the answer to that question tomorrow morning. Let me explain, today we are having our quarterly blood drive at the office and I am scheduled to give at 9:30 today. On thing I am going to say is that I am a little worried about how things are going to go since the last time I gave blood I was 82 lbs heavier than I am today. People have been telling me that I should feel better than I did when I was bigger but I always felt fine when I was bigger. I just have this fear that the lights are going to go out on me today and I will be too proud to say anything which is pretty stupid I know. I will post tomorrow what my weight is to let everyone know if the pint of blood loss turned into any additional weight. :-) Anyway I did today's workout as scheduled this morning and it was not all that bad. As a matter of fact it was the least amount of calories that I have burned since the first workouts of the 9 week challenge. Just so you know I am pretty OK with that. I am starting to feel the way I did at the middle to end of phase three of training camp, my legs seem to still be sore from the previous workouts even after a rest day, so it was nice to go a little easy today. I am beginning to get a little worried about how the final phase of the challenge is going to go since I am already feeling sore and talking about to toughness of some of the workouts and I have not even entered phase three yet. For those that missed it I did the 60 day challenge for NFL training camp on easy and am doing the 9 week challenge in EASA 2 on medium. By the looks of the little progress bar I think that I should be moving into phase three by the end of the month so if that is the case be assured I will let everyone know just how the final phase is going. I weighed myself again this morning and was down another 1.8 lbs putting me at an even 82 lbs lost since January third and only three lbs to go for my end of the month goal of 180 lbs and 18 lbs away from my ultimate goal of losing 100 lbs since this all started. Man I can't wait for all this to be over so that I can focus on maintaining a healthy weight and getting fit and stronger. Good luck to anyone else going through what I am going through. As you can see from the picture I was not kidding about the low calorie burn today. It was less than 250 calories.

How much does a pint of blood weigh
