perspective 1 - ice cream might not be worth it

For dinner I had a sandwich with eggs, turkey, and cheese. As always, I must end on a sweet note. So I had a 3.6oz cup of ben and jerry's.

In order to fulfill my February goals, I went to the gym (two more times till 7!!). I know the machines are inaccurate when tracking the number of calories you're actually burning. However, I was alarmed at how slow I was at burning calories in the general sense (disregarding the impreciseness of the machines).


It says 200 calories on the ice cream cup. It says 133 calories after my toil of 26 minutes on the machine. I ate that cup of ice cream in less than 2 minutes. WOES.

Maybe I should reflect and think hard before I shove food into my mouth. I am regretting all my eating transgressions today. I committed quite a lot of eating sins today.

Or maybe, I should embrace defeat and continue shoving food into my mouth and give up on my dreams of having a majide nice body.

  1. you were on a bike weren't you...i hate the bike because it burns calories at such a slow rate.....elliptical/treadmill is much better for burning off b&j icecream.

    but you're blessed with a tiny body! so no worries=)

    haha..but i like the title of your book with your blog entry today...clever.
