So Far So Good With The Morning Workouts
So far I am having really good results with the morning workouts. It is still to early to say for sure but I have lost 2.2 lbs in 3 days. The only change I made is instead of doing my cardio in the evening, I do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
My cardio consists of 2 miles on the bicycle. Please keep in mind that I am not out there cruising. I am pushing hard and when I finish I am out of breath and sweating profusely.
I recently read that doing cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach increases your fat burning efficiency by 300%. I am putting this to the test and am pleased with the results so far.
Today's official weigh in: 318 lbs. That's a .6 lb loss from yesterday. I've lost 1 lb for the month and 32 lbs for the year. I am 3 days into my morning cardio test and have lost 2.2 lbs.
Yesterday I had cereal for breakfast, an apple for mid morning snack, vegetable soup for lunch, an orange for mid afternoon snack, and 2 bratwurst dogs for dinner. Later while watching TV, I had some popcorn.
The only exercise I did was in the morning. 2 miles on the bike and 200 sit ups before I ate and before I went to work.
