Yesterday was a good day, I didnt get dizzy while working out, so the morning cereal worked.I thought I hit a plateau again until this morning I had a slight weight gain, it is probably due to muscle building since I went a week without weights and now I am using weights again.
I am surprised that a week without using weights would result in me having to lower my weight amounts for all areas. So it is clear that weights needs to be a regular part of my workout, even if I only do them 15 minutes a day.
This week, I am focusing more on weights and have not done any cardio [walking or running]. I just want to see what effect that has on my weight, my body, etc.
If I dont get good results I will likely go back to 1 hour on the treadmill and 15-20 minutes of weights a day, that seemed to work the best so far.
Calorie Requirement for the day is 1468.
