I went through my calorie deficits from this past week, and, according to how many calories I burned, I should have lost 4.7 pounds. I only lost 2.8, though. That made me think that maybe my HRM is overestimating how much I'm burning. I mean, it always has the right heart rate, I check to make sure it does every so often.
It's hard to set burn goals when your HRM might be lying to you. :|
Oh well. I guess all there is to do is keep watching what I eat and working out. I know the weight will eventually come off with what I'm doing everyday, I just like to be in control of the process.

More of my obsessive calculating:
If I want to lose 3.5 lbs./week (14 pounds/month):
- Weekly burn: 12,250 calories
- Daily burn total: 1750 calories
- Daily burn from gym: 875 calories (just to be sure I hit my daily burn)
Goal Weight: 140 lbs.
Still need to lose: 35.5 lbs.
(35.5 lbs.) / (3.5 lbs./week) = 10.14 weeks (but we'll round up, so 11)
At 3.5 lbs./week, it will take 11 weeks to reach 140 lbs..
It's crazy that I can be where I want to be as early as July 4th.
I always write out these calorie calculations because I'm a very visual person. It helps me to have everything right in front of my face. In terms of my weight loss, I get a lot of motivation from having specific calorie burns that I need to hit.
Lately I've just been aiming for above a 2000 deficit, but doing the math is better, I think.
Just like Bob and Jillian say: Losing weight is a science.
I'm all about science.

It seems as though every time I go grocery shopping, I end up going hog wild when I get home. I've got to stop that.
Yesterday, I went to Walmart and got a package of brownies from their bakery. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I know I won't be doing it again. After I ate them, I felt awful. My stomach hurt, it was almost like my head was hurting too. I finished the four of them, so I didn't waste the money, but I can't wait until they're out of my system. I feel so gross right now.

Just some reflection:
I was just looking through my roommate's pictures on Facebook and saw one of me at Steak and Shake. You know... I used to go there EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. It didn't matter if I went by myself or with my roommate, I was always there. I would get a double steakburger, fries, and a shake that on its own was more than 1000 calories.
How could I live like that and not hold myself accountable for how destructively I was treating my body? No wonder I couldn't walk around with Chris without feeling exhausted. No wonder I never went to the gym with Elizabeth last semester. I was a wreck physically, and emotionally too, because it was so hard to be away from Chris.
This past month has been great all around for healing. My body feels better. I have more stamina, more endurance. My mind is occupied by my busy schedule, so I don't mope all the time.
I feel better.
