Yeah, my head is pretty much a data base of calorie numbers. I havnt been logging calories since before summer, and trying really hard to not asses a food by its calories, but by how it will satisfy me. E.g. I'll choose real food rather then a salad, cause then I won't THINK about food for a while.

Since I've been doing this I realised my body can take more rubbish then I thought(I thought I was atleast maintaining but I lost some more...) and that my metabolism has not ben mucked up. (Yay!)

That is very sweet of you for taking the time! I experimented last night and found a way to do push ups and tricep dips so I could only do 8-10reps in a set.

Also, was looking at weights now. Do you think 5kg weight is too much? Like, I have these lil weights that are actually for pilates - plastic balls filled with sand. They are 3kg and I can do reps with them like air.

Thank you SO much yet again!
