Small Update

Okay, so I just started working out. Like, yesterday. I know. Wow, go me, right?

Now I know that in order to lose weight (which I'm not really aiming for, more just toning what I've lost over the last 10 years of sedentary life) you have to burn more calories than you take in, correct? I've never been a big fan of counting calories-I love food way too much. So I took a little quiz yesterday and the results said I should be consuming about 2400 calories a day. Sounds like a lot, right? Well, when I have a protein shake in the morning that has 200 calories in it, then a salad at lunch with 300 calories, add in a Go-gurt, a couple things of string cheese, and an applesauce cup, all washed down with about 2 liters of water throughout the day, I'm looking alright, right? Oh and then 3 scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and ham for dinner.

Yeah, except that I'm starving. Not literally, but I constantly feel hungry. Not fun. Do I keep at it and let my body adjust to the new regimen? Or do I stick with my normal food intake?

Just don't judge me for the 4 slices of pizza and large bowl of ice cream I had tonight. I know it was binge eating, my day was a bit stressful. Oh who cares? I'm not trying to become the next super model (HA!) or body builder. I just don't want bilateral liquefaction in my hips when I walk.


p.s. I didn't make it into EVMCO. Didn't make it past the first round of auditions. Bummer.
