011 A Numbers Game

I should be gaming the system. It's a pure numbers game: burn more calories than you put in - done; burn more calories than the sedentary lifestyle that got you here - not done.

I need to burn 1,000 more calories per day than my average in order to lose 2 pounds a week (7,000 calories = 3,500 calories per pound x 2 / 7 days). I'm barely breaking even with the sedentary lifestyle calorie burning. No wonder my weight is already plateauing instead of going down.

Calories: -85
Burned: 2640
Steps: 3325
H2O: 20 oz (hard to drink water with agonizing tooth pain = excuse)
Weight: 271.2
