My BMR
Nov 20 2008 23:44

So, I figured out my BMR today.  I had never heard about that before, but another member let me in on it, so I was glad for that tip (Thanks!).  Anyway, my BMR (which is the amount of calories I need to eat every day to stay alive and well pretty much) is around 1670.  I tried 3 different BMR calculators (kind of like getting a third opinion from a doctor) and the numbers were all slightly different, but they were all pretty much around 1670. 

That being said, I ate about 1300 calories today.  I wonder if this means that I am going to be making myself sick, or what?  I don't know.... I'll do some more research I guess. 

Today was the seventh day in a row that I stuck with some exercise! I am so proud of myself.  Also, as a side note, I saved a kitty from a tree today (lol), so that felt good!

Tomorrow is my first weigh-in. *DUN, DUN, DUN!* But, no, I actually am feeling pretty good about this week, so hopefully I will see some good results tomorrow!
