Exercises Day 36 through 42

I thought it was a good week of exercise, but perhaps not?  So I decided, while writing this, to do a bit of research.  But first, let me list what exercising I did:

• Tuesday - Thirty minute workout (total time), 10 minutes bike and 20 minutes of pushups and dumb bell biceps
• Wednesday - Two Hours of Tennis which is why my Tuesday workout was so short, I didn't want to be too tired but thats when I thought I would do two hours of tennis on Thursday which....I did not.
• Thursday - Tennis fell through, , So I did my push ups and dumb bell curls as normal.
• Saturday - I got a call from one of my tennis buddies and off we went for two hours of tennis!  Nice bonus to the weeks worth of exercise.

Now the research and see Does Tennis Burn Calories?  How Many Calories does Tennis Burn?  Well I played what Is called Canadian Doubles Tennis, which means you play with 3 people and you rotate after each serving game who plays singles tennis and who plays doubles.  So my research has shown for my weight of 218 pounds I burned approximately 520 calories per hour of tennis and I did two two hour sessions this week which is 2080 calories this week just on tennis.  to me thats pretty darn good.  So Why did I gain weight?  I wish I knew!  Let us take a look at my diet.

Diet Day 36 Through 42 

I had my normal diet (good example of my diet  see the diet section in that blog entry) and my "cheat day" was Friday night where I hosted poker night with beer and chips and Saturday I had 3 donuts.  Other then that I was a good boy all week so a bit surprised I gained a half pound but thats life!

Looking Forward - Days 43 through 49 

I guess I need to pay attention more to what I eat so perhaps a good idea for me this week is to keep a diary of everything I eat.  Every single nibble. Lets give that a shot and see what happens.  If I have another week on the Body For Life diet like this I am going to switch to Atkins for two weeks as that always works pretty well for me.
