overall: total calorie loss of 1466 with exercise and eating 723 calories less than target goal.
running is getting hard on my knees and hips...and i am not running as much as my goal but with the ab workouts i'm doing (which are killer, btw) i am hitting my goal of a 45 minute work out. it also seems that i am eating way under calorie targets, but i am eating a lot and i am full during the day. i'm just eating healthier. also, the "target" calorie intake is to maintain my weight and is over 2000 calories a day, and varies based on my exercise the days before (i.e. it increases almost daily). i am trying to lose weight and i don't need that many calories.

p.s. i think i've already lost two pounds! woot!
