Off to a Good Start Today

I made it to the gym this morning.  Today was back and biceps.  The plan I am following really encourages lifting and to prove its importance you actually don't do any cardio until a little later.  Did you know a pound of fat at rest burns 2 calories per day compared to a pound of muscle at rest burns 6.  By gaining muscle you burn more calories all day without any extra work.

So to wrap up yesterday I just missed my calorie burned goal by 171 calories...Booo! The bodybugg looks at how much I weigh, my goal weight and how fast I want to lose weight.  It then calculates how many calories I need to eat and burn to reach it in that timeline.  One pound equals 3,500 calories.  I am eating lol just having issues with logging food.  I believe I stayed within my calories consumed plus or minus some salad dressing I couldn't find the calories for.
