Calories, Shmalories!

If someone would have told me before this journey started that one of my biggest challenges would be getting enough calories in, I would have said, "Yeah right!"

Turns out...it is a HUGE problem. I'm using this online journal to track my calories, protein, and carbs. The goals were set for me by Mike. Thank God because I would have had NO idea what goals to set for myself.

I haven't entered anything into this program for a while because I was too busy. Well...then there was the fact that I only ate once on Saturday and once yesterday. I know this is not healthy. It's just sometimes I get so busy and feel so rushed that I don't take time to eat.

Today, however, I've eaten three times and I'm still 800 calories short of my goal. I cannot eat 800 calories between now and the time I go to bed. I mean I could...it would involve a trip to Sheridans or Dairy Queen, but then that wouldn't balance out with the amount of protein I need and would put me over on carbs. Who knew? Oh well...tomorrow is a new day and I'm starting off with an oatmeal/protein shake!
