I figured I'd stick with a normal 1500 and cut most of the carbs I usually eat. I'm adding in more fresh fruit and veggies. I want to up my cardio and activities more than "diet". I want to change my eating to good for me rather than which drive thru has the shortest line. I enjoy fruits and veggies I just think I get bored on how to prepare them. I LOVE to cook. Diets never work for me. I feel so jipped when I diet. When I feel like I'm missing out I go nuts. I'm eating 6 meals a day. Breakfast, snack(fruit or veg), lunch, snack (another fruit or veg) dinner and yet another snack of fruits or veggies. If I get bored I'll probably have a lower fat snack rather than a fruit on one of my snacks. I am going to keep track of the calories by writing them down and calculating it myself. I'm not sure if I should plan the whole day out ahead of time or just go with whatever fits in? I've been on almost every diet known to man I think and thought about medi-fast but I don't think I am overweight enough for it. My fiancee pointed out to me that I need to do it for real and not with a quick solution because that never works for me. Soooo... I guess I'll be playing outside a lot today. Now that school is almost over I won't be doing anymore eating and running.
