My Best Calorie Burning Day So Far

Today as been a fantastic day for me exercise wise I have completed a whopping three hours of exercise so far. I’ve done two 1 hour cardio sessions on my exercise bike and I’ve managed to get a one hour weight training session in as well. I’ve still got time to fit in another one hour session but I think I will call it quits for today. The words over training are springing into my mind again.

The three hours of exercise I’ve done today have allowed me to burn off a whopping 1950 calories, the main reasons why I’ve done so much exercise today is because I feel that due to my knee injury earlier in the week, that’s this week results were going to be bad and I don’t want that to happen. They still might be, because exercise and diet wise I’ve had quite a bad week. Hopefully though when I have my weekly weigh in tomorrow morning I will see results that please me. I’m not really bothered if I put weight on because I am already slightly below my target body weight I just want to see a reduction in my body fat percentage.

In the space of three weeks I have been able to lower my body fat by 2%, I know that it doesn’t sound like a lot but if you look at it this way 2% of 200 pounds is 4 pounds. So 4 pounds of pure fat loss is not a bad results in my eyes. I’m better educated now in the right and wrong ways to losing weight. Before I started this body fat loss journey I would consider a 2 pound weight loss for a week pathetic. In the past I have been able to lose 7 and 8 pounds per week, what a fool I was I’m paying for it now because at the moment my body has that skinny fat look appearance to it.

I look really slim in my clothes, but I’m still carrying a lot of fat that quite simply has to go. I am so focused and motivated to shifting it, I would put my house on me being ripped up come Christmas time. But the only way that I’m going to achieve my goal is by eating the correct foods at the correct time and by burning calories through exercise. The 50,000 calories in 50 day challenge has really challenged me, like I have never been challenged before, but because I set the goal and documented it on the blog were my family and friends can see it. Failure is not an option, I burned 1950 calories today if I need to burn off 3000 calories on day 50 I will do it. Hopefully though with a few more big calorie burning days I will be back on track and only need to burn off the daily requirement of 1000 calories.
