Autopilot

Weight: 155.4
Yesterday Cardio: 700 Calories
Yesterday Food: 1140 Calories

I am starting to feel like I am on autopilot now. I went to the gym last night and wanted to stay and extra half hour, but I was just so tired after I burned the first 700 calories, hopefully I can burn 1000 tonight. I am not sure if I want to start eating the bigger breakfast since I will get the majority of my calories early in the day, I will have more time to burn them throughout the day. As far as I can tell, hitting the gym at night AND limiting calorie intake seems like a winning formula.

I definitely think my stomach has gotten smaller, I am less hungry now and just eating smaller meals. In the future, if I can just start every meal out with a salad, it should be no problem sticking to this diet for the rest of my life. My plan is to do the diet Monday, Wednesday and Friday and eat whatever I want Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I am hoping that if I mix that with some moderate exercise, I should be able to maintain any weight possible.

My target weight all along was 155 lbs but I am definitely not satisfied. I am not sure how much muscle mass I lost, but I think I am around 11% body fat and I want to be closer to 8. I think I will have to drop into the 145ish range and then work on building muscle in the future. I actually don't want to build a lot of muscle, but it would be cool to be really strong but not over muscular. That is phase two starting in march. Diet but add some lifting along with the cardio.
