feeling blah

I feel like I need more vitamins or something because I feel like I'm in some sort of haze. I'm managing to get everything done but just feel icky about all of it. It's not hunger or overexercising, I'm just in a funk and feeling unmotivated.
We walked 1.5 miles to swimming lessons and then K picked up C so he wouldn't have to get quite so much exercise. :) The baby and I walked home. It was good.

My daily calorie budget is 1,312.
I burned about 300 and I actually consumed about 1,600. So, I basically stayed where I need to be.

K and I were just discussing BMR, the basal metabolic rate aka the number of calories you burn just being completely sedentary. You should be able to take that number, adjust it for your own amount of activity, and then take away calories to lose weight. It takes a 3,500 calorie deficit to lose a pound.
That's two days worth of food for me. The issue I have with using these online calculators is that I bet people overestimate their amount of activity in a day. If it weren't so expensive, I'd love to try one of those Body Bug gadgets. They look like a souped up heart rate monitor and supposedly calculate how much you burn at all times.

fitness goals

On February 27th I was:
lean body weight = 125 lbs
fat body weight = 67 lbs
current body fat 35%
target body fat 31% means weighing 181 lbs
26% means weighing 168
23% means weighing 163
18% means weighing 152
15% means weighing 147

So, my goal over the next year is to get down to 23% body fat.
I've been working out regularly and was in two events this weekend.
On Friday I walked 12K in the Twilight 12K with Laura K. and Mary B. I brought Finley along in the jogging stroller but ended up carrying him about half of the distance because he got a little bit cranky.
This morning I biked 25K for the Tour de Cure, for which I raised $755. Not a bad amount, but a lot lower than what I'd hoped to raise.
My next post will be smaller, more easily achievable goals.
