The weight continues to decline, yay!

I did my cardio session this morning. 55 minutes on the ladder. I was shooting for an hour but my mind saying stop won the argument. I find that the long cardio sessions, just like the long running sessions, are a lot more mental than physical. When my muscles start to fatigue and ache a little my mind starts screaming stop. I have to override that message with a just keep going message to push myself to continue. Some days it's a real struggle.

I'm using a new calculator for determining how many calories to consume. It's the Body Weight Planner created by Dr. Kevin Hall. He's a research scientist that does biological modeling.

Have a great day everybody!
