Ok so yesterday I took the day off and went and looked at a few houses, one of which we will be moving forward on. When we were done we stopped and had lunch and let me tell you something, I ordered a lunch combo with a salad and chicken fajita wrap thinking it was healthy turns out to be a total of 760 calories for a tiny little lunch. Lesson learned, check nutrition facts before ordering even if you didn't know you would be going to out. (Smart phones people) Needless to say I was not all that happy about that, I was still able to have a net calorie intake around 1200 or so for the day thanks to yesterdays workout. Which brings me to my post title, When I started the workout it told me I could expect to burn 295 calories, as it turns out I burned 10 calories over that number giving me a total calorie burn of over 300. That is the big news, it took a few workouts into Phase 2 but I finally burned more than 300 calories on a workout. I hope that the trend continues since I am still having a bit of trouble getting the scale to go down. Like I said on Monday, I had a good weigh in and was down a total of 2.6 llbs, and even had to teach that night, which usually burns a few more ounces from my weight. When I weighed in Tuesday morning I was up .2 lbs. Again nothing to complain about since I am sure it has to do with the muscle that I am seeing start to show up but I would like to see the scale go down since I am still at about 3.5 to 4 lbs lost the entire month. Anyway, I will continue on the journey. I was going to use today to do some running like I have been trying to do but it was a bit chilly this morning and I decided that I was not going to do myself any favors by not letting my body rest after the first two workouts this week.I am pretty sure I remembered reading somewhere that if you don't let your body rest and mix things up then you will not see results. Please correct me if I am wrong since the tempurature is about to start climbing again and it would be a good oppertunity to run if I won't screw anything up with the rest of my program.

Something never done in EASA 2 yesterday
