I had originally planned to make weekly posts about my losing weight and getting into shape. I still do, and was going to make my first entry this past Monday. But between the holiday weekend resulting in a 2 pound weight gain I wasn’t exactly in the mood to write about it, even if I did want to bring up my new regimen.

Today is a different day, however. I began a workout schedule of 30 minutes of cardio 6 days a week and 3 days of strength training (Prevention magazine is a wonderful source of inspiration for working out). By yesterday I was beginning to wear out, even though I had already been working out 3 days a week previously (30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 45 minutes, respectively). I took yesterday off and went to bed early last night. This morning I decided to weigh myself, just for shits and grins, and learned I had dropped 4 pounds.

Let me at those Cakesters!

If this trend continues I fear I will have to increase my calorie intake. Yes!
