Walking
: So I’m still doing the pedometer thing, “1500 Miles to Nowhere.” I’m averaging about 4 miles/day, a scosh below where I need to get to hit the goal.
I’m zeroing out the pedometer this morning, and we’ll see what sort of walking we get done at Walt Disney World. If I’m diligent, I’ll take some daily notes, to see what sort of walking we’re doing at various parks.
Calories: So I’ve shifted everything over to using the LiveStrong.com site, which should work out well as a replacement for my beloved (but out-of-business and non-Blackberry-enabled BalanceLog).
I don’t care for the LiveStrong “Daily Plate” web interface (waaaaay too busy), but the database of food is pretty extensive and it has a spiffy BB tool that syncs up with it. I may be making a lot of use of that while at WDW, as I’m unclear what the WiFi situation is at the lodge (pretty certainly available, but not sure of the cost).
As part of my “transparency” initiative, I tracked at below max calories all week — sometimes significantly so. LiveStrong says I should be consuming 1,966 calories/day net in order to lose a pound a week. I’m doing a fair amount less than that. Hence …
Weight: It’s not the officially the end of the month, but as a base point before we head off to WDW, I’ve been below 200 for a week and a half now, and on Friday morning weighed in at 196.
We’ll see what life at the park is like. On the one hand, big meals and snacks. On the other hand, a lot of walking. It will be interesting. I’ll let you know next weekend (which is the end of the month).
