DAILY CALORIC INTAKE

Alright... so I am trying to get back in shape after having beautiful Kaylen. This blog is a bit of accountability for me and also maybe some helpful advice that i have found along the way.

Here is a site that will tell you what your daily caloric intake should be:
http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/calcs/n_expect/main.asp
http://www.okaay.com/node/38

The second site is better than the first. It tells you what you should be at for weight loss goals as well.

Mine should be 2186. Now I am going to have to find a way to monitor what mine really is. Also to loose weight we must be taking in less than our daily given amount. My goal is going to be 2000. That is a savings of 186 a day. Not much but I also hope to exercise 3 - 500 calories 4 times a week. Shouldnt that help me loose weight? Feel free to comment whatever you wish. Any ideas or helpful hints in my plight are welcome and appreciated. My main goal is to feel good about the way i look and to improve on my health. I want to feel good about how i am treating my body. So welcome to my new blog.
