Yeah....you're right...sadly, the mocha mix is now definitely out. The pudding has a big of dairy in the last couple ingredients, I might see if I can work it back in in a few months, but for now, it's out too.  Ah, well...live and learn.
No, 700 calories certainly isn't normal (or desirable!). I usually start the day about 6 hours earlier, so that's at least two more small meal/snacks. I'm having a hard time eating much at once, so I'm trying to eat often. I'd say about 1200, maybe more would be normal. I eat less on the days I sleep in, there are just fewer hours in the day! I know that 1200 is still pretty low, but I don't have much of an appetite, so I'm working on that.
So far as goals, the first one would be to feel good again! Fitness, generally (with the exception of the last 3 weeks, which have been just awful) I walk on the treadmill at the gym and lift weights about 5 times a week or so. I'm pretty comfortable with that, it's not particulary strenous or anything, just maintenance. The counting calories and reporting what I eat is more so that I am accountable for what I eat, and so I can get feedback (like the Mocha mistake). The calories are more so I don't eat too much all at once, not necessary eat too much over the course of the day. As far as weight loss, its not a big goal, maintenance is just fine. I mean, every girl has her 5 vanity pounds or whatever, but its not a major priority.
I just want to get in the habit of eating the right things (and being sure of exactly what that means now) and exercising again. I did the "breaking the cycle diet" for about 2 weeks, and now have started adding back in some protein and such, because I really needed that. I had such severe D that I was getting really weak and had to quit working out (and functioning in general), so I had to get that under control, but I think now I need to the protein to keep from becoming weak from lack of that. Such a hard balance!
The gym is closed now for the Easter Holiday, but it will be open again either Monday or Tuesday and I want to be ready to go then. I think I need to, I got a bit winded today cleaning out the refridgerator (took out the drawers and shelves and scrubbed and everything--it had to be done!). Also, hopefully with working out again I'll have a better appetite, I think that helped before.
It's hard. I think I'm learning, but the more I'm learning, the more I'm realizing that I'm messing up!
