So...  weight loss is weird.  I have been diligently counting calories since like Feb 11 or 12 and it is WEIRD...  I have been toying with trying to find the perfect balance of super healthy food and still getting to eat the foods I love once in a while... and I have learned some things about food and weight and all that good stuff. 

I have been working out pretty much everyday, I usually do 45 minutes on the bike and 15 to 20 minutes on the treadmill..  If I have the energy..  or drive.  So I end up burning 400 - 500 calories a workout.  

I've also been eating RIDICULOUSLY good.  Usually between 1500 - 1800 calories a day, except one day it was like 2100+ and I ended up gaining 1.5 lbs so that was definitely a lesson.  Eating out is really hard to do if you're not splurging..  and if you're starving...  my new best friends are oranges, turkey - ground and deli and organic granola.

So bottom line is since February 12, I am down 4 lbs!  I am pretty excited about it..  It's not much yet, but I am so motivated to actually lose weight I can't wait to see that number go down!
