Oh my gosh I suck at keeping this thing updated.  Clearly I'm not going to be doing it on a regular basis because of aforementioned suckage.  Hopefully I'll remember from time to time though.

Net: 331 cal left today.  Less than I wanted.  Will try to do better tomorrow.  Don't know how I'll manage it.  I'm starving.
Seems like I like having 1500 calories/day rather than 1200, goshdarnit, which means I need to actually burn at least 800 per day rather than 500.  And 900 is better to just have some buffer.

Curses.

I'm not at the fitness level yet in order to burn that many calories while running.  My legs aren't strong enough and are prone to ITB, PF, and  hip pain. So that's just great.  My run today turned out to be mostly walking...and it took me an hour and 40 mins to get just under 500 calories.  So that's stupidly irritating. =(  I wish I could run more/faster/longer as I used to be able to. But I can't. So. Sigh.

So on alternate days I'll get on the bike.  I should be able to pull down 900 calories in maybe an hour and a half? Two hours?  (as long as my Garmin actually works.  I had to reset the sucker and I don't know how to pair it up with my bike sensor on the trainer.  So. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.  )
