Day 27

Well, it looks like all that walking through the snow torched more calories than I thought. Either that or my scale is broken. I'm leaning towards the former. Also, my super intense workout yesterday probably burned more calories than most of my workouts do. I needed muscle relaxant to go to sleep - a sure sign of an excellent workout.

I've lost 16 lbs in less than 4 weeks and have greatly improved my strength in the process. While some of that weight was surely retained water from the holidays, I think a good portion is likely to be fat mass.

It feels good to be on my way towards losing my final few pounds of leftover excess fat from the beginning of college. However, there's still a long way to go, and now that the novelty has worn off, I'm sure I will find it more difficult to continue strictly.

At the end of this week, I will post some data and statistics, then release this blog to an audience.

Cheers.
