It's TOM, so the scale hasn't shown it, but soon it will, I know.:

I signed up for a half marathon in August. I know that will motivate me to start running again, although I think the reason I haven't been running is mostly an extreme lack of time.

I finally noticed how to access the extra smilies.

I am jumping in here too!
I have been trying to do well on 1250 calories but I kept getting over them by 100 or 200. That and reading about BMR and whatnot I decided I could manage with 1400 a day and am startign weightlifting this week so I hope it will compensate.

Stayed within 1400 today, but crappy quality foods because my mom made breakfast and dinner. Tomorrow I am eating my own stuff again. And I am not touching the candy-jar again this month. *pinky swear*

Obviously I have calories to spare, but TOM started today and I feel yuck. Maybe I'll have some dried figs later or another of those yoghurt choc raisins. I could up my portions a bit if this happens again I guess. I was aiming to start eating 1400 because I worry my metabolism slows. Hihi.
