1/30/2019 - 230.4 - Warmer than Minnesota!

Weight: 230.6

Finally going back in the right direction. To be honest, there were a couple of days where I did not take pictures of the scale, because it'd worked its way back up to 235.1. Trips to Mountain View seem to clobber my diet attempts. Finally shrinking again.

Blasted phone didn't save the pictures

I pushed as hard as I could, and kept the pace way up, but just couldn't break 500 KCal. Rats! Maybe if I up the slope of the device. The "Weight Loss" program does:

• 4 minutes easy - I set to slope 6, resistance 7
• 4 minutes hard - I set to slope 10, resistance 12
• 4 minutes easy
• 4 minutes hard
• 4 minutes easy
• 4 minutes hard
• 4 minutes easy
• 5 minutes cooldown - slope 6, resistance slowly decreasing from 6 to 4.

Maybe if I up the slope to 7 for easy and 11 for hard, I can break 500 again. I've done it 3 times in the last 4 months. I don't remember what setting I used on those occasions.
