1st week goal... almost there!

I worked out for the 4th time this week today. Just need to work out tomorrow morning and I will have met my first week goal! I really do feel better when I've worked out, even if I am a little more sleepy. It's worth it. I didn't eat very well last night or the day before, so I definitely need to keep this up! I looked (via link from email) at Jillian Michaels website to see how to calculate my BMR (basal metabolic rate). Apparently when I do nothing, my body (at my current age, weight, and height) burns 1600 calories. I would've thought it was a lot less than that. But that also shows me how many calories I must've been eating. Ouch!

    This isn't the same one I used, but it gave me the same result: http://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm

    Thanks! I'm gonna work out tonight. I was way too tired to get up this morning cause of staying up too late to watch Alabama football!

    He plays softball on Monday nights. Other than that I have no idea what he's doing to work out or anything else.

    Here's the link for the BMR calculator I used and it also talks about your Active Metabolic Rate or AMR. Just thought you might like this info too! http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fitness-and-diet-tips/determining-your-AMR
