Day 2

So, I did not get around to exercising yesterday, partly because as I was calculating my total caloric intake for the day, I got worried that I wasn't eating enough. After hearing so many warnings about not cutting calories too much, I've become paranoid about putting my body into a so-called "starvation mode". Now, I don't know how much truth there is to this, and for now I'm going to tell myself that as long as I'm getting adequate nutrition, my body will not think I'm starving it. On top of that, I'm also going to try to eat more! It's difficult because I'm trying to save money as well as trips to the grocery store, and really on a raw food diet I'm NOT hungry, despite getting (much) less calories from my food. But, I figure I can spend a bit more money on food (goodbye, new clothes and haircut!) and try to get my calories as least above 1,000 kcal/day, preferably near 1,200 kcal/day.

(FYI: The word "calorie" that we use nowadays is actually short for the word "kilocalorie", which is shortened to 'kcal', not 'cal'.)
