Letting it all hang out

I've been using SparkPeople to track my calorie intake.  I've been pretty good about this the past couple weeks, no matter how much I ate (and sometimes I ate enough that it took a good twenty minutes to input everything!).  Numbers can be scary - they add up so quickly!  Anyway, I thought as part of my accountability I'd throw out my numbers for all to gape at, so here is the past seven days.  Today only consists of breakfast and lunch:


NUTRIENTS:GOAL1/121/131/141/151/161/17TODAY
Calories:1,200 - 1,550 1,8341,2341,7591,2761,5011,389400
Fat:32 - 56 58476537625311
Carbohydrates:163 - 236 29716825817618220166
Protein:60 - 127 59465247625515


I've noticed that I eat A LOT of fat.  Fortunately, a lot of it is good fat from nuts and such, but still.  I almost always go over my fat if anything.  That's three days that I went over my fat limits and two days I went over my calorie limit (which is 1550).  My calorie limit is a bit on the high side because:  a. I'm only trying to lose a pound a week; and b. I burn between 250 and 550 calories when I excecise, which is 6 to 7 days a week at the moment.  I always aim for 1200 calories anyway, but rarely keep it that low. 

Haven't been to the gym since Friday but have been using the treadmill and my Wii.  Yesterday I walked 4 miles and spent 45 minutes on the Wii doing strength training with My Coach.

Today I'm just going to walk to my parents' a little later, which is 2 miles.  Gonna give myself a bit of a break because tomorrow morning I'm going to attend a killer gym class that's a mix of aerobics and muscle-killing strength training.  I'm really looking forward to the Pilates class on Thursday too. 

Hubby is out of town again :(.  I hate when he's away.
