Okay. It's thoughts like these that make me think I should go into nutrition or something so that I can answer all my questions.
So - here's my mental conundrum. I've eating about 650 calories so far today. I was at the gym for 1.5 hours - doing a Total body aerobics class plus 30 minutes on the elliptical. I easily burned 650 calories. So is my body burning fat to function? Is my body going into starvation mode? Surely I will eat more calories and actually - I just had 125 calories in trail mix. I ate them incredibly quickly, not realizing how hungry I was.
Just curious what's going on in my body. I'm obviously in the food = fuel mode. A great place to be for a dieter!
I get so caught up in this stuff and I can't figure it out. I can't explain how any of this works. I have been eating 1700 cals and burning 2300 cals and the scale is not moving. It should be. The math says it should. I kind of go for a long while with no movement on the scale and then I drop 6-8 pounds all at once. So frustrating. I have decided that I'm not going to think too hard on these things. I'm just going to keep making good choices each day and push on!! Makes my brain hurt less :-)
