Draglist's Journal, 20 May 14

Hit my macros almost PERFECTLY today after a nice dinner of salmon with some walnuts for fat. But before that, weighed in at 206.4. The body fat looks good, but hovering in the mid 200s... Need to get to the LOW 200s! Still have ten days to go, but tomorrow is a mandatory weigh in day (I record my weight every three days), so might show a bump up...

Did weight lifting tonight. The other day I got all excited because it looked like the FitBit told me I was burning 480 calories instead of the 200 I had been recording... I checked it again tonight and it showed that I had only burned 156 calories during that same period of weight lifting. What I think happened the other day is that my FitBit was not totally synchronized when I first checked it (it synchronizes with either my home computer or my smart phone). What must have happened was that the FitBit had saved up some steps that did not show. After I did my workout and synchronized it, it seemed to show an excessive amount of calorie burn for my weight lifting.

This will definitely affect my calorie recording... I'll be eating less or working out more, one or the other. This is a minor setback, but is the reason I got the FitBit... As narrowly as I'm trying to work this calorie burn deal, it has to be accurate!

You can never be completely accurate but as long as any errors are done by mistake you will both under report and over report and in the end it averages out. And it’s also very hard to get accurate number with anaerobic exercise anyway just try your best.

That's awesome Bill. Here's to some good numbers even if they are a little up.

My new routine in my weight training program is upper body Monday and Thursday and Lower body Tuesday and Friday with Wednesday and the other days aerobics. My lower body today was actually only 16 minutes of actual lifting but this site calls what I did moderate and frankly, there was nothing moderate about it as much as I was huffing and puffing. Can you change that by using METS calculations?

How do you figure out your body fat?

You are doing good Bill. I have had a look at fit bit and will consider doing that myself at a much later date. Looks a good system and its working well for you.
