I weigh 175 today. It has been five days where I am eating food that can be accurately ascertained from MFP, except for maybe for one or two cases. I then carefully measured the calories of my tuna fish sandwich, and my home made trail mix. My trail mix was way off in my previous calorie assessment. I thought this may have been true. I used an incorrect entry that I tried to use as a proxy for the above foods. Well, I am getting things “ship shape”.

I exercised today. I walked very briskly four miles with a stop after two miles to get some water and rest for a period of time. My pace is about 16.5 minutes a mile. My average heart rate on the first leg of the trip was 153 bpm. My peak heart rate was 169, probably happened one time for only a few moments. So I am not placing much weight on my peak heart rate this time. I did witness it going up to 162 bpm. The second leg was not as notable.

My average heart rate is surprising to me. I have not put out the same effort that I did before my leg injury. However, I did get much more tired than usual. So I think my fitness went down a bit for not having exercised for a noticeable period of time due to my leg injury. I have burned 472 calories.
