Yesterday I charged up my BodyBugg and created a new plan online. Now that I weigh less, getting to my target requires less effort while maintaining the same "safe" weight loss of 2 pounds a week as a target. Back at my heaviest weight I needed to burn 3000 calories a day and consume 2000 calories. The 1000 calories a day is equal to 2 pounds loss in a week.
Under the new plan I still need that 1000 calorie daily deficit, but this time around my target burn is only 2700. This is great! I'm already used to eating 1500 calories a day so eating 1700 is easy and it is a lot easier to hit that 2700 target burn than the 3000 was.
I weighed in this morning at 198.6. That is a 1.4 pound loss over yesterday. So I am still going in the right direction. I started my day with 10 simple pushups. Regretfully is has been raining and I got very little walking in today. I'm going to do some more pushups tonight just to get some form of exercise in.
The quest for the microwave hard boiled egg is almost done. No explosions today, well none that were spectacular like before.
This time what I did was used my turkey skewer to make holes in the top and bottom and on each side of the egg. I added water to the ramekin this time too. I decreased the power to 4 and tried for 2:25. It worked. The egg "popped" but all that happened was the shell split in a straight line along the holes I made. I will try again with more holes to ensure a clean break. I will also try lowering the power yet again and going for a slightly longer time. I want to find the exact second when it bursts so I can stop cooking just before then, or ideally get it to fully cook without bursting.
I know this seems like an elaborate pursuit given I could just boil an egg in water for 20 minutes, but I want to get that process down to under 5 which is all I typically have in the morning when I think about wanting to add an egg to a salad.
