Daily Intake

My calorie goal is still 1350 calories per day, but that's based on me just sitting on my ass doing nothing all day. For the time being, I'm hoping I'll be able to lose weight if I "eat back" the calories I burned during my workouts. I know there's loads of controversy from various people about whether that works or not. For now, I'm going to see if my choice works and if it doesn't, then I'll focus on sticking to my 1350 calorie goal and NOT eat anything back after working out.

Here are today's totals:

Please note the donut in my snack list. Yes, I had that thing at 11 am - I couldn't resist because I am weak and someone brought them into work!!!  It wasn't until the afternoon that I had my fitness motivation. Although I could argue that I got into the fitness kick last night after I did my amazing run. I even packed myself a very healthy salad this morning for lunch. Salads are a lot more calories than people really realize. Seriously! Even though all of the stuff I've got in mine is healthy - like the almonds and avocados, those things still have loads of calories.

Anyway...the apple I ate for "dinner" I really ate at 4 pm as my afternoon snack but I usually don't eat that late so I just shoved it into dinner.

Did you notice how many calories I burned today? I can guarantee you I burned way more than that because the only option I could add in was "low-impact aerobics" - I hate trying to calculate how many calories were burned from DVD workouts. It's too difficult. Anyway, this is the workout I did today. It was rough and I was sweating all over the place, but it was fun and quick paced.
