See now, seeing you on my heels or even passing me just makes me get up and get more steps in, which makes you get up and get more steps, which makes me.....yada, yada. I'm pretty stubborn and competitive, so it's not in me to let it go. We are going to do a LOT of walking this week!

1) Calories under 1,400 (6 days): M-No (1,731), T-No (1,517)
2) 10,000 steps (7 days): M-Yes (16,398), T-Yes (16,168)
3) Log all food (7 days): M-Yes, T-Yes
4) Stairs (3 days): M-No, T-No
5) Strength band exercises (3 days): M-No, T-No

I'm not quite meeting my calorie goals, but with all the extra steps Mike is making me do, I don't mind being a bit over. Really need to get my stairs routine going. Starting is the hardest part.

We're both competitive. I guess that's why I feel like I'm chasing my tail. I keep going but rarely catch it.

I've been way deficient in calories. I haven't felt super hungry or like I was about to eat my arm off... yet. I should probably ramp it up some, so I don't eat the house down come this weekend. Like yesterday, I logged 1602 calories, my fitbit shows I burned 3957

Fitbit's calories burned equation is not very accurate. Don't count on it for weight loss, though I'm sure you are still at a large enough deficit to warrant eating some extra calories. But if you aren't hungry, don't eat! 1600 calories is plenty to get all the nutrients you need, and it's important to listen to your body. It's far from starving. Trust yourself!

True that, I'll listen to my body. How does it seem for you as far as calories? I know part of my issue is my heart rate. It beats fast, which it turn causes me to burn more calories. Nobody seems to know why it beats so fast, it just does I guess. I use to wear a real heart rate monitor and the calories it said I'd burn on a long walk was INSANE!

Hell sitting at my desk right now, typing this I'm at 93bmp, which has me in the "fat burning zone". I guess I need to eat my some girl scout cookies if I type too much.

BTW, the highest I've ever clocked my heart rate was 236bpm. My cardiologists has no idea why I didn't feel like I was going to die.

Fitbit way over estimates the calories I burn. If I ate what it told me to eat, I would gain weight. In their defense, there is no one formula that can be correct for all people, and it does give people a place to start from and adjust as necessary.

WTF is up with your weird heart??

This Week's Goals:
1) Calories under 1,400 (6 days): M-No (1,731), T-No (1,517), W-Yes (1,364), Th-Yes (1,286)
2) 10,000 steps (7 days): M-Yes (16,398), T-Yes (16,168), W-Yes (16,847), Th-Yes (15,650)
3) Log all food (7 days): M-Yes, T-Yes, W-Yes, Th-Yes
4) Stairs (3 days): M-No, T-No, W-YES!, Th-No
5) Strength band exercises (3 days): M-No, T-No, W-Yes, Th-No

Ready to finish out the week strong!
