Lets be fit: day 3-5, week 1

Hi guys, so i have been very busy these past few days and i have not been able to make a good post about fitness. So, lets get to it shall we? On Wednesday and Friday, i took off from working out to give my body a break and to allow for healing time. On Thursday, i took it very light on my climb, 120-130 watts for 75min. As for food in take, i stayed well below my allowance due to the amount that gets canceled out by working out and mostly end up with a negative net number. What this means is that i am burning more than am eating. According to myfittness pal app that i use,  if i keep eating and  working out like this i will lose 40 pounds in 5 weeks! That not good at all! Not what i am trying to do! It says my body will go into starvation mode, but the funny thing is that i am always eating something (Fish, fruit, Gari, almond) I don't think it takes into account that i eat 1200 then i burn off 1300.  What its thinks is that i dont eat and i workout, or maybe its me, am i suppose to eat 1200 total after workout, but that a lot of food. Getting up to 1200, was actually hard for me on most days. This is mostly because i eat high protein low cal food like fruits, grilled fish, shrimp, soups. I can pig out on these things and still be at 600 cal by night fall. SO much for Smart phone huh or maybe its just dumb me?

I work out 2 hrs a day 5 days a week, so my body needs lots of rest and i understand that.  When challenging yourself, it is very important to listen to your body and take a break.  There is nothing more painful than muscle cramp or pull! Oh did i mention my arms are getting very tone, very quickly! Tell me love, how is your Challenge going?
