I figured I needed to write a post on how this blog will actually work each day. The plan is to have 2 types of posts. One type of post will be my devotional thoughts on weight loss. This is the heart of the blog. The place where I hash out the weight loss as worship aspect of this journey.
The second post type of post (the one that will be posted each day) will be the technical post. In this post I will list each food I have eaten throughout the day, as well as, the exercise I have completed in any given day. Next to each item will be either the calories consumed or the calories burned for that particular item. At the end of the list, you will see the total calorie deficit for the day. Also, each Monday morning I will weigh in and log that statistic as well. Once a month, I will post my measurements so I can also track inches lost during the journey.
As for any extra posts on some days, I simply may need to vent. On such days, I will spill everything I am feeling into a post which everyone will be able to read. I hope I have explained how this will work well enough. Please do not be afraid to ask me questions if you do not understand something.
Very quickly let me give some definitions for those who may need them:
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) - the calories your body burns every day if you do nothing but lay in bed. To calculate this, I am using the first part of the Harris-Benedict equation (google it for more info)
TCD (Total Caloric Deficit) - The number of calories a person burns over what they consume.
