Day 26

Wow, what a workout today. My legs feel like lead weights after trudging through the snow to get my workout in at the gym. The local township has pretty terrible infrastructure in place for snow removal, so it took me a while to get there and back.

Excellent workout though. I hope tomorrow's is every bit as challenging and rewarding.

My weight seems to have sorta leveled off for a bit. It takes the body a bit of time to develop the metabolic pathways necessary for weight loss. And since steadily losing weight over time is not in the body's best interest, it will stagnate from time to time. However, a continued minor caloric deficit should break through those barriers 'til I reach my target physique.

I'm also going to be using my data in a study for a heat transfer course. I will use my data to determine the Heat Transfer of my body. Calories can be converted to watts coming in, and my net weight loss over a period of time can be converted to watts going out as well. From there, I can break up the heat transfer into convection, conduction, and radiation...etc, etc.
