First 30 days...

Well since I'm writing this blog very late I'd like to share my first 30 days of my weight loss regime

First Off, What do I have -

• I have a smartphone like everybody else does. I've installed an app called "myfitnesspal" in my phone. This app helps me keep track of the amount of calories I've been taking (I obviously have to inject that data manually every time I eat something). This app also creates a desired calorie intake target for each day depending on the goal you set. Like for me I want to reduce 14 Kgs in 7 months  which is like 500 gm/week. To do this app has set a goal of 1800 kcal for me.
• I also have access to gym. I reach office at 8 every morning and then hit the gym for an hour (although I only exercise for 30 mins).
• I also have a smartwatch with Misfit app installed on it. This app just makes use of pedometer reading and assign points on the basis of that. There is no clear points to calories conversion calculator but the increase in number of points every time I do some activity does make me feel good and motivated. 600 points in the app tells me that I'm slightly active, 1000 points means that I'm moderately active and 1500 means that I'm highly active.
• I've set a target of 600 points in my smartwatch which means that everyday I need to cross 600 points (no that it happens everyday in real). Whenever I do I get a trophy for a day, It feels good to see that trophy :)
• I work from home every Wednesday so that means no Gym on Wednesday that means I exercise only 4 days a week that means need to control more on my diet.

So this what I've been doing in last 30 days.

• Wake up 6:30 in the morning, make sure to reach office by 8
• Hit Gym by 8:10, Start your workout for 30 mins
• In first 20-25 mins just walk/jog on treadmill
• Next 5 mins exercise on elliptical trainer or cross trainer
• Head back to office by 9
• Work, have lunch, go for a kilometer long walk, work again, leave for home by 4:30
• Play with my son for an hour (well, depending on how tired I am it does not happen everyday)
• Have dinner by 8:30
• Work or watch TV depending on what the priority is
• Go to sleep by 11:30 to make sure that I get at least 7 hrs of sleep.

With an average goal of eating 1800 kcal/day (according to myfitnesspal app) what has been my average for last 4 weeks.

Week 1: 1624 kcal/day with second day exceeding kcal  more than the limit.

Week 2: 1509 kcal/day

Week 3: 1628 kcal/day with one day exceeding 120 kcal more than the limit

Week 4: 1590 kcal/day

This app also allows you to add the amount of calories you burn during your workout. If you are also using the same or any other similar app always make sure that you are conservative about it amount of calories you would have burned during your workout. Sometime these apps integrate with phone's pedometer and account for additional calories you burn while walking. 

What has been my weighing scale showing for the last 4 weeks:

Week 1: 94 kg

Week 2: 93.6 kg

Week 3: 92.5 kg

Week 4: 91.5 kg
