I am a carboholic
Even though I stay within my 1200 calorie limit, I always find myself eating somewhere between 175-200 carbs a day. I love to eat things that are high in carbs like like potatoes, rice, bagels, and plantains.

I can jog! NSV
Ok so I just finished the first day of Couch to 5k and I feel great. I first downloaded the app around mid-august and when I first tried it I couldn't even finish half of the first run without feeling exhausted so I gave up. Now I just tried it again and I didn't even break a sweat. :)

Does anyone else have this problem?
It always seems impossible to eat 1,200cal without going over 2300mg sodium limit. I only ate 803cal so for today but I only have 107mg of sodium left allowed. Does anyone struggle with maintaining a low sodium diet? If I go over to sodium limit by a 500mg will it matter all that much?

No longer winded!
So I don't have a car and I sometimes take the bus to get to work. Today I almost missed the bus and had to run after it, but guess what? I wasn't winded at all by the time I got on the bus!

Help! Low fat intake. High Carbs.
So MFP is telling me that I have goal of 40 total grams of fat a day. I usually only eat 15grams or less but still hit my goal for protein. Is this a good thing or bad thing?

A question about Chipotle
So the Chipotle in my area only charges a dollar for plain cilantro-lime rice. Would it be bad if I ate it very often? I eat 1,200 calories a day and it fits well within my calorie budget but it does have a lot of carbs and sodium....
