Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?
Like a zillion other people, I too decided to change my eating and exercise habits at the start of the new year. Technically, I didn't make any resolutions. I just have a few areas of my life where I want to improve.
I sought help from my friendly nutritionist at the gym (who I often use for work stuff as well). She recommended a diet with 1700 calories...something about a formula where you pick your target weight and multiply by 100.
Last week I started cutting back on my junk food/fast food intake, in an attempt to wean myself. This week is more strict, and so forth.
I also began my half marathon training this week. Gal Pal, CJ, and I all want to run a half in the Big City. It's the day after my birthday...the big 3-0. Five years ago, I told myself I wanted to run a marathon by the time I'm 30. That's not gonna happen...but a half is doable. We've printed out a training schedule that's pretty intensive, but not impossible. So far this week I've done pretty well.
Of course, I'll keep you all updated on my progress.
Smooches.

I can't believe that we've had, like, three or so posts in a ROW. Wow! 1700 calories a day is going to be quite a stretch......honey tried 2000 and it was all he could do to make that happen. You're looking at 600 per meal, which is serious limitation. He's doing Weight Watchers on-line right now....31 points a day, he gets.
Yes...well not everyone can be as slim and svelt as you sweetie ;-) I'm really working toward 17...I think i'm probably averaging around 18-20...rather than trying to do a nutrition overhaul all at once.
