All of this and I am nowhere near where I need to be. I actually burned 810 calories at the gym today so technically, I should be consuming somewhere near the 2200 calories mark. Ice cream anyone?!? Ok, I need to plan better. Obviously, I'm quite used to eating very few calories so it's going to be hard to readjust. I'm not going to allow myself several hundred calories of junk by any means, but I just need to be getting more good stuff in me. Maybe instead of the shakes for breakfast, I need to start eating eggs and veggies, maybe some yogurt, or something a little more hearty. And Meridith, I'm completely with you on the healthy fats. That's why I eat the natural peanut butter and almonds and I always cook my meat with some olive oil. Plus, the salad dressing that I eat is an olive oil mixture so I get it there too. I really don't feel like I'm starving myself, but I guess I need to fuel my body more for the intense workouts that I get. I'll do better tomorrow. For now, maybe I'll go have some pineapple and cottage cheese or something. :)
