I weigh 175 pounds right now. My day of exersize has been interesting. The first leg of my walk was the best that I have had so far. I sustained what my watch states as a very very brisk pace for over to two miles. My average heart rate was 142 bpm, with a peak of 162 bpm. My average speed was 4.1 mph, with a top speed of 4.6 mph. My pace was about 14:30 minutes a mile. All of these stats make new records for myself. For instance, I thought it would take allot more time before I end up with less that a fifteen minute mile. My other leg of over two miles was pretty good too, but I was not pushing myself no where near as much. There was an additional short walk for a half a mile that burned 36 calories.

I have walked a total of about 5.2 miles for my entire exersize for the day, which burned 538 calories. I have walked a total of 12,006 steps so far today. MFP has assessed my steps aside from my exersizes to be 163 calories so far. So all of this means that I now have a calorie target of 2791 calories. This may go up a bit since MFP takes a guess on its calorie adjustment for steps outside of exersize, which then becomes more accurate by the end of the day. My complete menu for the day comes out so far to be 200 calories short. So I will have to adjust it for this amount of additional calories. I am surprised to find an interesting TJs meal in my freezer. So I will see if this does the trick.

God I like this watch! With the many measures it provides, I can see them slowly changing to tell me that I am becoming healthier. It is providing instant feedback to me. This is a really nice feeling. Using it this way, I am providing myself challenges. I am going to start exersizing every day. However, I will alternate between days of greater than four miles with those of one mile, which is just a few times around the townhome complex. For my accomplishment, I will soon treat myself to that terrific tastey hot chocolate at the local IHOP.
