more progress

When I exercise, it seems like the next morning weight goes up, and then the following morning weight is back down...maybe this is because the increased muscle is burning more calories. Maybe not. I was 196.0 today, which is the best I've been during this adventure. I went over to the gym in the afternoon and put the machine on "cardio" which set my heart rate to 144 and walked quickly (2.5mph, with a little incline) for 35 minutes. The guy next to me was someone I work with, and he was going at 7+ mph. Oh well, apparently going slowly burns more fat, so that's what I'm doing. 207 calories. I got an atkins bar on the way back for afternoon snack
Then a couple glasses of wine after work and a 1oz string cheese a few minutes ago when I got home....I expect I'll be below 196 tomorrow. Good luck to me!
