Peachy, your workouts sound great! About tracking cals, I am getting back on the wagon as well. For a while I used myfooddiary.com. I really liked it. It is like $9/mo but I found it easier to use than sparkpeople. After I used it for a while I felt like I had the hang of the cal count for things I usually eat and then I stopped doing it except in my head. But just yesterday I started a new little spreadsheet where I write down the cals of each meal. If I''m not 100% accurate, well, it''s better than nothing. It''s already working - I was going to have a snack before bed but I realized I was already at 1590 cals so I skipped it!
I''m hoping to meet a friend for sushi today... if not I may end up going solo b/c errands will take me near my favorite sushi place at lunch time. I don''t really like going alone to restaurants in general.
Do you all find that weights workouts leave your body really tired? At my old gym I did weights (total body) about twice a week and I took 1 rest day a week from working out. My new gym has a circuit room and more weights classes, so I''ve been doing more like 3 times a week of weights. I feel exhausted the next day when I go to do cardio. I havent been taking more rest days, but I don''t feel like my cardio is as effective when I am so tired. I just can''t push quite as much. I do feel like I am getting stronger and my arms are showing more definition (although I wish they were smaller!).
