 Calories/food today:

Granola bar - 110 cals, 2 g. fat
Lean Pocket Ham & Cheese - 280 cals, 7 g. fat
/\ that was breakfast, heh

Exercised for 45 minutes (crunch dance party, AGAIN...)

Lean Pocket Turkey, Broccoli, and Cheese - 270 cals, 8 g. fat.
/\ lunch

Exercised for 30 minutes (tae bo)

Steak Enchirito Fresco Style from Taco Bell - 250 Calories, 7 grams fat
fat free cottage cheese - 80 calories worth
/\ dinner

So far that's 990 calories, and I'll probably have a bag of 100 cal popcorn later on for a grand total of 1090 calories.  So I'm not starving myself (for those who wondered )... -- just exercising inbetween the meals, trying to burn off at least 1/2 of what I eat.  If I can eat 1000 to 1100 calories per day and burn off 500 to 550, and my BMR is 1700, then that's negative 1200 calories (at least) every day, which is at LEAST 2.5 pounds I'll lose per week, maybe more like 3, that's my target, 3 or 3.5... right now I'm still probably losing some water weight... and if I do some light weight lifting I hope to build up some more muscle so I'll burn more fat daily...

Man, I originally intended for this blog to be more about general daily life but it's turned into weight loss/deep thoughts/fun stuff/randomness/ ... lol... but it's all good, it's nice to have more support again!

I am so stressing out over finances.  You know, I haven't smoked a cigarette since I was 16, but I have been craving one all day long today!!!  Has that ever happened to anybody else?!  I mean, out of nowhere... just to deal w/the stress better... I'm just glad I'm not craving chocolate,
  heh.  I should probably just pray instead...

A couple of my friends are supposed to be here at 9pm to work out with me.  So I'll be at 2 hours of exercise today.  I don't know how many calories all of that dancing and jumping around actually burns off, it might be more like 300-400 calories per hour... if I'm burning off 800 and only eating 1000, then no wonder I'm losing weight so fast, eh... but from what I've read, it's perfectly safe to lose it quickly as long as it's being done THROUGH exercise to burn stored body fat, not through fasting, etc, because that does the opposite, makes your body want to hold onto any little thing you do eat when you eat again and it won't release anything it's got stored up...

I wish I'd freaking get Josh's address already!   It'll be great to be able to hear from each other again in some way.  I want to encourage him right now, and there's also issues that need to be addressed.   He said he'd signed everything necessary for me to be put onto the checking account at our current bank, but he HADN'T, so I won't even have checks in my name until I can get his address to send him the papers he needs to sign!  Unless I open one up at a different bank, and I might just have to... I wasn't on it before because I'd lost my drivers liscence (and drove without one for an ungodly amount of time, SSSHHHH, don't tell the uncool cops!! )  b/c there was never any time to get a new one, blah...

I just drank 2 cups of coffee at midnight.  "Coffee At Midnight."  That sounds like it would be a cool song.  Or novel.  Or movie.  About those who adore the myserious call of the night, who yearn to see when the other silly mortals have their eyes closed to the part of the day that fulfills because it's full of less.

Dang, I ran out of a story line already.  I suck!  The end.

Wow, you're sure getting in your exercise today! That's cool though. I should do more exercise, but right now I'm doing my own little experiment for this one exercise program I got, so I'm only doing that for one month(until Sept. 18)..but I'll add more to it after the 18th. Okay, I'm totally rambling now.. :) I don't know about the cigarettes because I've never smoked one, but yeah, in times of stress I know I revert to some old habits that aren't so good, so it makes sense.

Have a goodnight my new friend,
Kelly

I haven't smoked in 3 years and I was thinking today how bad I wanted a cigarette. I think I wanted a cigarette and M & M's though. :(
