If you've come to the site in March, April or May, you may have gotten the idea that I'd given up, failed or forgotten about this site or even losing weight entirely. Fortunately, nothing is further from the truth. I've continued to not only lose weight, but I've kept careful track of my daily progress, knowing that I'd get back to updating the site again. What I didn't take into account is that I would get quite so backlogged, so until I'm caught up, I'm going to post a week's worth of updates every day with minimal blogging. I've made notes every now and then to record milestones, comment on changes to my plan, or just random thoughts. I'll summarize those with links to each post as I play catchup.

Today is my first (of three) running for 30 minutes at level 7. As such I thought I'd update the chart I'd posted on a previous day:

Level Calories Distance
2 218 1.52
3 278 1.75
4 332 1.97
5 388 2.20
6 432 2.42
7 462 2.65

Note: Calories burned were calculated using my current weight at the time of the run, meaning that lower levels actually burned more calories as a result. One day (when I hit my goal weight?) I'll probably go through all the levels again just to normalize those calorie counts against a single weight.

Each jump is definitely less impressive, and yet if you compare the latest to my first workouts, it's a huge jump. I've already doubled the number of calories (which is more impressive considering that weight 25+ pounds less I'm burning less calories in general). Looks like it's going to be level 9 before I double the distance however.
