Some weight loss math...

I don't know what I weigh. I don't want to step on the scale. But for math's sake, let's assume I'm 160 lbs. I'm hoping that's high. But it might not be. Blegh.

If we assume I'm 160 lbs, my BMI is 31.24. That's officially obese. Blegh again.

According to a magic calculator at Self magazine, I burn approximately 400 calories at Jazzercise.

I eat 200 calories at breakfast.

I have about 300 calories for lunch.

I have about 350 calories for snack if I eat a tube of nuts.

That leaves me between 350 and 500 calories for dinner.

Sigh.

I hate calorie counting. But I also hate that I am gaining weight. I don't want to be this weight and the only way I've ever gotten weight to drop off is by counting calories and exercising.

So here we go...

I am going to try to limit myself to 1400 calories a day for this week, Monday through Friday. I am going to try to go to Jazzercise Monday through Thursday. I am going to weigh myself tomorrow.

And now I am going to bed. We'll see where tomorrow takes us.
