Operation Calorie Increase began today (yeah, I know that's cheesy but I'm on a sugar low from those strawberries and my mind isn't working great - I will have a couple in the morning tomorrow!) I'm aiming for as close to 800 calories as possible. BariatricEating.com suggests 800-1000 calories in the losing stage to avoid "starvation mode," and while I'm not sure if I should be worried about that, I am going to try upping my calories this week and perhaps lowering them next week, just to keep my body guessing. I felt like I was eating all day today. It was intense.
I had a great workout today though! I've decided to get more into the treadmill in an effort to build up my leg strength. Even though I supposedly burned 502 calories in my 65-minute walk, I know I was working a lot harder on the treadmill than I usually do on the elliptical. (I was dripping with sweat.) I played with the speeds and the incline to give it more the feel of outdoor walking. I think I'm going to alternate days on treadmill and lighter elliptical days, just to give my legs a chance to recover from the more vigorous treadmill workouts.
