It certainly is a lot easier to be motivated to wake up early and hit the gym when it's nice and warm. This past week or so has been especially brutal with the super cold temperatures and snow; I've really had to force myself to trudge out of the house.
In other news, I definitely noticed the resolutioners this morning. Despite being 7:00am, there were twice as many people doing cardio as usual for that time, and all 9 of my gym's benches were occupied when I arrived. Usually there are only 2 or 3 occupied at that time of the morning. Bleh.

Well that's just baffling now. I said before that I assumed your calories were so low due to them just subtracting out calories due to activity. But a change of 600 calories is 4200 a week, giving you an extra pound every 5th week. I have a feeling their caloric recommendations are based on some absurd algorithm that is way too complicated.
I'm super nervous about going to the gym tonight. I've noticed a few new faces over the last 3-4 weeks, but nothing bad. Today is shoulders/triceps though, and I start out needing the power cage and then go right into close grip bench. If I end up having to wait for both I'm going to be pissed.

It's even more than that. It's a 720 calorie difference, more than 50% extra a day. Makes no sense at all.

An extra 220 calories a day going from "works with computers" to "teacher". That's exactly the wording they use. Seems ridiculous.

I'm not going to debate their model because I have no knowledge of that subject. I use sedentary and it's worked fine for me for at least a year. I might even be under eating because I purposefully overeat on days I go to the gym and have put on almost no weight.
But anyway, I guarantee you that where the numbers came from. If you're concerned about the accuracy, I suggest a heart rate monitor.

I don't know, that doesn't seem so far fetched. I work at a desk all day and teach for about 3 hours each night. I'm lucky to take a total of 50 steps throughout my entire office day, but during teaching there isn't a single minute where I'm sitting, and rarely am I even standing still. If I'm not standing at the board writing (and moving back and forth), I'm walking around the classroom and checking on what my students are doing. It's not uncommon for me to be sweating like Chris Farley by the end of a single, 3 hour lesson. Then again, I'm a fat fuck so your results may vary.

I don't really care about the model either way because I am not going to pay attention to their suggestions, just going to use it as a personal tracker. Just thought it was curious that the number jumped so much. The original number was frightfully low anyway. One good thing about kind of eating that way for the past 2.5 weeks is that my appetite has dramatically decreased.

It depends on your gym. University gyms and 24 hour gyms (with cheap monthly fees, or month to month) get swarmed. And it's the first Monday, so that's why now is the busiest it'll be. Can't start changing your life on a Wednesday.
