Am i wasting away?

Not too much to report today. Didnt make it to the gym because i had a crappy afternoon, it was POURING with rain and about 10 degrees celcius (50 farenheit). So just felt like laying on the couch watching TV.

Had planned to go tonight (have all the gear packed in my car already!) but, we're inpecting a house (hooray!) at 5.30pm. Which means i'm leaving work a tad early. I might go straight from the house to the gym.

About the house - it looks really cute on the website. It's smaller than ours  - but i want smaller. It's a 2 bedroom apartment, polished floorboards, built in robes. Oh, and has a lock up 1 car garage - a big selling point for the boy. Looks good. FINGERS CROSSED!

Made a good food choice yesterday too - we went to this asian noodle/rice place which conveniently also serves SUSHI. the other girls had fried rice - and i chose sushi. I didnt realise how low in calories it is - i thought it'd be higher with the rice. Amazing! I was stuffed from two rolls (one Tuna and one Salmon - steered clear of the fried chicken) and only ate 99 calories!

Question: Is it bad to eat too little calories? Apparently i'm meant to be around 1400, but the last few days have been heaps under it. Is that bad? I'm full all the time. I'm eating every 2 1/2 hours or so. I'm not starving myself. I still have heaps of energy.

Will check in tomorrow and let you know how i go with the gym/house situation.

Thanks for your support lovelies,

Housing..

Sounds like downsizing is a good idea - and your own garage is fantastic. I hate street parking, even though that's what I do now.

Apparently if you dont eat enough calories, your body can think you're starving and stop burning fat - but it depends how drastically UNDER your calories you are eating. If it's only a little, I don't think it makes a difference. I'm no expert, though!

I don't eat Sushi, but I've heard it's great for you. It's the dipping sauces that can be tricky little buggers. I'm hoping I can convince my mum to bring me home Thai for lunch today, I'm in the mood for junk and it's the least fattening takeout I can think of. =)

Your body...

... will let you know if you aren't eating enough.  If you're eating low-calorie foods throughout the day and still feeling full and energetic, then I wouldn't worry about it so much.  If you start gaining weight, though, you might want to increase the caloric value a little more so your body doesn't store everything.

Good luck finding the house you want.  I'll keep my fingers crossed!
