The summer was wonderful. I gained like 8 pounds or so though. Didn't like that so much. Host mom cooked delicious food and I ate a lot of it. I only learned to control my intake a few weeks before we returned to America. I learned a bit about Japanese cooking, which was wonderful.
The month before returning to school I came down some once I was able to control what I was eating again. It was quite a relief. It's surprising how upset I get when I can't control what I eat. Must be linked to my weight loss goals.
Now, back at school, I've almost recovered from Japan. I've been eating a mainly vegetable diet with the occasional turkey or fish. I've been trying to balance what I eat nutritionally speaking. The way I've been eating puts each meal at 200-350 calories, and I end up eating around 1200-1300 calories every day.
My activity level is okay. In a perfect week, I have kendo on Sundays, Mondays, and Fridays, and I go to kickboxing on Thursdays. And maybe I might work out working out (haha) with Taylor on Saturdays after brunch, so I might actually work in all my activity for the week. Woot. I also walk around to all my classes as usual, so that always adds a little more activity to my sedentary lifestyle.
I say sedentary and I eat like I’m sedentary, but I’m probably lightly active now. I wonder if it’s dangerous to keep my intake where it currently is. 1200 is the lowest you should go, but is that as low as you should go in general, or as low as you should go when sedentary? Should I see a nutritionist? I think I’ve been able to balance everything so far, nutritionally speaking, so it should be okay. If I start shaking or feeling ill, then I will reconsider things, but it seems fine for the time being.
So, activity level good, nutrition level good, caloric intake…we’ll see. In general, wonderful :)
My goal was to get down to a healthy weight by my birthday but I already achieved that. So, next goal will be to hit the 20’s by Fall Break, which will be 5 weeks from now.
Let’s get it, let’s go!
