Only 3,000 a Day

Over the last few weeks, I have been doing a workout routine at home. the goal of this was to improve my conditioning and to get back into shape. The program has been going well but I decided to step it up.

My new goal was to burn 3,000 calories per day everyday. The first week, I made it 5 days out of the seven which I was disappointed in. Last week which was week two, I achieved my goal of 3,000 calories everyday. I didn't think it would be that hard, but on non Kung Fu days after sitting at a desk all day, it takes a lot of work.

Along with the calorie burn, we have changed our eating habits to healthier choices for both meals and snacks (more fruit and veggies). My average calorie intake is down to 1,500-1,800 calories per day. This combined with the exercise has made a huge impact as I feel more energetic and I am sleeping better at night.

This week, I am again aiming for 3,000 calories per day with the same average intake of 1,600 calories. I have getting closer to where I feel I need to be and once I get there, I plan to maintain it.

P.S. Weight loss after 12 weeks is 20 pounds.
