College Fit

I think I’ve Realized that I need to be eating at least 1850 calories a day with all the running I’m doing. So I’ve broken it down:

400 calories per meal = 1200

200 calories per snack = 400

250 for drinks w friends = 250

now i know this is actually 1650 but throughout the day things always get hectic so I’m thinking I should leave myself some wiggle room.

i walk at least 1.2 miles per day that I work so 3.6 miles a week = 270 

this week i will have run 25.5 miles = 2550 calories (at least)

so in order to lose a lb this week, i somehow i need a calorie deficit of 780 whether it be food or more walking… i can definitely do that!

this weekend was full of so many events that I thought I was going to be super unhealthy about but I actually steered away from eating fast food despite all the driving and cooking out and etc! i did the 30ds and ran 3 miles today, i’m feeling pretty good :) i’ve decided that ultimately, although i want to be as healthy as I can when I can, it’s not going to be possible to eat organic every time i need to eat because i’m constantly travelling to see friends and i don’t want to come off as picky/snobby. but i’m going to do my best and eat things in moderation! and that’s the best i can do!

last summer i came home and had gained 10 lbs at college, weighing in at 158lbs. i made it my goal to get down to 140 and eventually succeeded by september. 

over the course of this year i only managed to gain 5 lbs. monday i came home and weighed in at around 145. 

This summer vs. Last summer stats:

June 16, 2011

weight: 151.7 Hips: 37” Waist: 30.5”

June 6, 2012

weight: 143.3 Hips: 34.5” Waist: 28”

and where I am now was where I was on August 19th of last year. 

I really do think that I can get to my goal weight by the end of this summer with all the marathon training and the 30ds! exciting!
