Off the Wagon

Well, friends it seems that keeping with blogs has taken a back seat to school and other activities. I totatlly skipped out on Motivation Monday this week, and I really have nothing for Workout Wednesday for today, except to say that the madness stops today, and I will hopefully be back on track. I'm GOING to the gym after class today no matter what, and I'll be careful about what I eat.

In other news, I got an awesome new smartphone, which I love, and I just downloaded an app to keep track of my caloric intake. It's called the myfitnesspal app, and so far I like it. I can search for different foods that I eat. I can track the calories I've burned. According to the app, for me to lose 2 lbs a week, I need to have a net caloric intake of 1200 per day. So, that means I need to eat fewer than 1200 calories per day if I don't work out, or if I plan to work out then the calories I burn need to be more than the excess of what I ate. In other words, if my caloric intake is 1500 for a day, then I need to burn 300 to stay on track. So, we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, I suppose that the lesson here is to just move foward. The week may not have started great, but it can end well. Until next time!
