Day 22 Weigh In #3

I lost EXACTLY 1.6 pounds! A little over 6 sticks of butter. Six and two thirds to be exact. After three weeks, my grand total weight loss is 7.2 pounds, a tad over 28 sticks of butter.
Let me gently refresh your memory:
Now, you're thinking that 1 pound of quivering flesh lost per week does not equal 20 pounds in 90 days, more like 12. That's right. To lose the twenty big ones in three months, we'll have to shed 1.66 pounds per week. Do the math. That means we've got to ante up an extra 335 calories per day to get there.
Here's the catch (you knew there'd be a catch, always is when it involves something worth working for), that extra .66 pound per week is going to be burned off. Literally. We are going to exercise everyday for the next three months, come hell or high water, for forty five minutes. Three quarters of an hour of aerobic activity a day will sear off approximately 300-350 calories. Again, count the beans. Three hundred calories per day x 7 days per week= 2100 calories (give or take a few). We'll have real data in a week to prove if we're on target.
We have real data: The Plan works.
Are you on target?
