I’m doing great with my workouts. I’ve gone every day this week, and plan to take Friday off. The hospital I just got a job at has their very own gym that I can use for 40 bucks A YEAR. Now there will be no excuse to workout every day, all I have to do is bring my gym bag to work.
I also treated myself to a digital scale with bodyfat percentage. As soon as I figure out how to use the thing I’ll be keeping track of my bodyfat. I tried to get my gym to let me use the calipers so I could see where I was at, but they said I would have to make an appointment with a personal trainer which would cost me about $32 for my first time.
I proceeded to tell them that it was bull poo, and I can spend less than that on a scale that I can use indefinately. So screw you and your calipers Gold’s Gym.
I’m doing well on my eating, I’m not overeating and I’m drinking plenty of water. I actually got a pill box with daily compartments so I can start taking my vitamins on a regular basis. Go me.
I’m going to try to eat about 1200 calories per day. Is this too little? I don’t want to sabotage my metabolism that I’m trying so hard to work on.

1200 is pretty much the absolute minimum. I’m no expert, but it might be safer to shoot for 1300, or at least only eat that little on some days and not others. It’s damn near impossible to get all the nutrients you need when you get too low, which I believe is the reason for the 1200 minimum you read in most places.
