Spring Break

Ugh. It's spring break for me but I still feel busy! Between school and the wedding, things have been nuts! Andy and I took advantage of our free time this weekend and relaxed with friends. It was great. Aside from me sucking royally at tennis. ha! Oh well.

I have an appointment with a nutritionist. She gave me some guidelines to follow this weekend "to see how fast/slow my metabolism" is. It included;

1. Eating 1600 calories a day
2. Burning 500 calories a day (which she said equals to an hour of non intense workout or half an hour of intense workout)
3. Take B vitamins daily.

Does her list seem odd to anyone else? Something about it just doesn't sit right with me! I plan on following her plan and asking her to elaborate later day because I am sort of confused. Bah.

I'm not sure if it seems off? I would say trust her though, if she has a good reputation?

Enjoy your spring break!

But an hour on the elliptical or anything low impact won't burn nearly as much.
