I had a similar thing happen to me! I was out of town all last week. My sis and I did a few walk/jogs, but nothing compared to the typical gym time I clock on a normal weekly basis. And I did not watch my eating very carefully because we always ate out. In fact, there were a few times that I was pretty sure I had 2000…

I do the exact same thing. I'm new here, and have never worried about calories before in my life. Now I'm getting a super shock from seeing just how much everything is! Now I think constantly about every bite I put in my mouth. I'm hoping this just becomes second nature at some point and isn't such a focus in life.
