Not Sure What to Name This One

I'm not quite sure what to report since this week I focused on my two jobs and schoolwork. I suppose I got exercise by walking so much at work. Whitney and I went hiking for our date, so that's good. I have been careful not to overeat, but I haven't kept track of my calories like I was since I was so busy. But no more excuses!!!! I'm going to get serious about only eating 2,000 calories. Especially since the dosage of the medicine I'm on that makes me easily gain weight was recently increased, so I'm afraid I'll gain even more weight. So no more funny business! Regardless of how busy I am, I need to count my calories and meet my goals.

Now that it's getting really nice again and the snow is melting, I want to get back into running. I'm thinking I'll do that next month when my life will be a whole lot less chaotic. It'll still be very busy, but not so bad since I won't be working my first job as much.

In other news, I have three readers from Russia now! Welcome!!!!

Pause Insanity


Well, I have good news and I have less good news (it's not bad news, but it's not great news). I got a job in addition to my current part time job in Salt Lake City. So between the two jobs and travel time I'll be gone at 40-50 hours per week. I'm taking 18 credits at school, so I honestly won't have time to do Insanity every day. Some days I'll be able to, but there will be some days where I'm gone the entire day. Yesterday for instance, I left at 7:20 am and didn't get home until 7:30 pm. One good thing about my work is that I'm on my feet most of the day. At least there's that.

So the best approach to this situation will be to count calories. My goal will be to keep myself to 2000 calories per day. This is going to be hard because my body burns about 2700 per day. Plus the medicine I'm on increases appetite, so even if my body doesn't need food, it makes my mind feel like I desperately need it. Therefore, it will definitely require self-mastery!

Wish me luck!!!!
