[Coldrun Fitness] Level 17: Eye Opening Numbers

For the second (and final) level in a row, I've tasked myself with "watching" what I eat. Literally, not adjusting it but tracking it. 

TW: weight, calories

 

Wow. It's been eye-opening. Even ballparking it (since accurate calorie counts are probably a fool's errand), this is a lot. Ranging from around 2,700 calories when I feel calm up to 3,300 (or higher) when I feel "fuck it"-ish.

Next week, my goal will be to watch the calories again... but to finally start pushing them down. I have a reasonable target in mind.
