The Dreaded Before

I have always disliked the before and after weight loss photos. My reason is they really don't tell the whole truth as the before photo is usually of much lower quality and than the after photo. I also dislike that they use different poses for the before and after.  One of the great things about being a professional photographer is that I have access to the equipment to do my before photos right. This will be a great visual reference for all to see the changes in my body. (A quick plug for my business... Rudolph Uhlman Photography can take your before and after photos weight loss photos.)

Today, I had to split my walk in two because I had to pick up Addie from school and take her to daycare. I have to say I prefer to do it all a once, even though I walked a total of 28:28 minutes and went about 1.51 miles at an average pace of 2.8mph. 
This week I am increasing my daily calories burned goal to 900 as I greatly outstripped my goal in the last week. I am also adding a daily liquid intake goal to make sure I stay adequately hydrated. The Mayo Clinic advises that the average male requires about 3 liters of liquid. I have set a goal of 100oz as that will be more easily measured than the 101.442oz that is in the 3 liters. 
Breakfast today was an 8oz slim-fast shake and a cup of coffee. Lunch today was a 16oz slim-fast shake.  Dinner was rice with peas topped with shredded cheddar cheese.  I drank 107fluid oz today of which 67oz was plain water. 


Totals for today:
Steps: 5348/5000
Cal intake: 1350/1500
Cal burn: 788/900
Walk time: 28:28/20min
Liquid intake: 107/100oz
