Day 4 - Counting Calories (14/16)

If I eat just what I've planned for the day, then I'll only be at 1100 calories...and that is a high estimate. I seriously am NOT trying to starve myself. Time for a list:

Instant Oatmeal
Apple
Turkey/Whole Wheat Sandwich
Carrots & Dip
Pudding Cup
Banana
Greek Salad (dinner) (**UPDATE** - I had a cheese quesadilla instead of a salad courtesy of my husband ... so that took me up to about 1300 calories for the day)

I have some stuff to snack on at home if need be. I definitely don't want to send my body into starvation mode because that'll just make things worse. I used the Live Strong website to track my calories. http://www.livestrong.com/profile/jendazzle83/ The "MyPlate" section lets you search for foods by type or brand name. Nice! I don't know how much I'll use this, but it is nice to have around for a reference.

I've been feeling really blobby all day. My clothes are super tight, and it makes me SO uncomfortable (physically and emotionally). We are just at the beginning, so it's too soon for my standard negative attituded. The plan is to head to the gym tonight. Although, I'm almost certain I'll need a nap first since I'm going on about 4.5 hours of sleep. The holiday got my sleep schedule all funked up.
