Day 5

1040 cal.

Snack:

2 apples
2 pieces of dry toast - 160

1200 cal.

Dinner is most likely going to be SmartOnes, except I keep saying that, and it hasn't happened. I want some mac and cheese, though. And maybe the other turkey and gravy one. Mmm. Except now my formerly pretty-empty stomach is protesting my snack and the entire bottle of water I just drank. Silly stomach.

I think my calorie goal is to keep it under 1800. I think I burn around 1600 calories just by living, and then there's all of the stuff I do, and then there's my 600-calorie exercise (hopefully to remain daily), so yeah. You know, if I keep up my exercise for two more days, I will have burned 4200 calories! That's already a pound lost just by exercise. And then if I keep my calories under 1800, I'll be losing weight pretty quickly and yet safely.

And doing this whole thing right is important to me. I don't want to just drop pounds and then gain them all back. These are life changes I'm making. Heck, I've already changed my life. This is my life now. It's healthy and active and somewhat balanced (can't be perfect, lol). Except I need new walking shoes. The ones I have aren't cushioned enough on the bottom, so the pads of my foot right behind my toes really hurt after 100 minutes of walking.
