Oh Cheese!!! How I Have Missed Thee...

I'm REALLY loving this SparkPeople site. I realized that I still needed to eat at least 800 more calories yesterday. Of course I figured this out this morning so today I'm going to track my food even more diligently. When I looked at the menu options for breakfast today I saw :::::drum roll::::::: CHEESE!!!!!!! My eyes almost fell out of my HEAD!! I LOVE cheese and I have been totally NOT eating ANY since I started this journey. I literally almost cried when I saw that I could eat some cheese.  I know...it really is the little things....lol
Through this site I have learned that I really, really, really don't eat enough calories in the day to keep my metabolism going. It's really nailing it home for me. (I know, I'm saying 'really' a lot)
So, according to SparkPeople I need to eat between 1200 and 1550 calories every day and burn 217 daily. I WILL be doing my Zumba today because it tells me how many calories I burn with each session and lately I have been averaging 220 calories burned every time I do it.
I love that I now have some numbers to go by and a way to track it all. This is really helping me to stay motivated and change my life to a healthier way of eating and exercising.
So yesterday, I didn't eat enough but I did take a nice long walk with some good friends. I love walking with them because we don't stroll along...we definitely power walk. We figured we power walked for about 50 minutes over hill and dale...lol It was a really great time and it flew by. I can't wait for our next walk!
Have a wonderful day!!!
