I'm starting to @#%?! up...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.2 lbs
 Goal Weight: 185.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 64.2 lbs

I'm starting to @#%?! up. Last night, I had another 1100 calories, two bowls of oats, raisins and milk. I should have just eat my two apples and went to sleep. So I'm a little down about that but I'm not out. I'm going back to walking 7 miles a day. Why? Because despite my constant complaining, I miss it. It made me feel better as a person being able to say, "I walked 7 miles today" and plus, I want to complete the 1000 mile challenge by December 31, 2013.

I didn't realize how competitive I am until I started using dailymile and Fitocracy. I love checking my stats on dailymile to see where I rank among the walkers. Logging my walks on Fitocracy is pretty cool, I leveled up today. I would have done that yesterday had I walked 7 miles instead of 3.

So since I will continue walking 7 miles a day. I need to start eating back some calories. Last week, my net calories ranged from 400 to 700. The week I lost the most weight, my net calories was between 1000 and 1200. So I need to eat at least another 300 - 600 calories. 

You maybe wondering how I find time to walk 7 miles a day, well here's my exercise/food schedule.

I'm considering purchasing a fitness monitoring device, either fitbit or BodyMedia. The both have their own pros and cons. BodyMedia is used on NBC's The Biggest Loser. fitbit is about $100 and access to their website is free. BodyMedia is about $149 and access to their website is 6.95 a month. fitbit and Bodymedia are both accelerometers but BodyMedia has additional sensors it uses to track your galvanic skin response, skin temperature, heat flux to accurately give you your calories burned. I really like BodyMedia but I don't like having to constantly pay for their site. It's like I never truly own the product. Technically, I don't need either device but I think it's cool to have a more accurate count of the calories I burn a day instead the guesstimates most programs use.
