*curse*

I haven't budget an ounce since last week. RAGE!

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm within my calorie range, I'm drinking more than my required water, and I've started working out. I'm confused. :(

I'm going to increase my free veggie intake (celery, cucumbers, broccoli, and cauliflower) and trade out a few of my staples once I get through what I've already bought. Basically that's oatmeal (flavored for plain), many of my 100 calorie snacks (most are massive carbohydrates), and make more salads. Since my fridge is a dick I'll have to stop at the store more often. Boo.

I'm sure someone out there is going 'But Morgan! If you're having trouble losing weight, why are you eating MORE?'. Because it's clear that what I'm eating right now isn't working. With the above changes I'll actually be taking in fewer calories per item so I need to cram more into my food hole.

I had my first Zumba class last night. It was fun! The hour went by pretty quickly and while I'm a little sore I don't HURT like I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, if I twist too quickly to the right I feel a small zing! in my side, but otherwise I'm good. :D

Finally, I need some recommendations. Can anyone suggest a good set of headphones for working out? My ear is shaped funny so I can't wear earbuds. I need something that hooks over my ear, but everything I've found either hurts or doesn't stay put. Help? Oh! One more. A good, reasonably priced heart monitor. The ones I can afford have crap ratings on Amazon, and the good ones are around $100. No bueno. And why are they all so fugly?
