217 calories or about a candy bar


So I'm about a week into this new exercise thing.  It's good and all, and I'm glad I'm doing it, but it's frustrating that just about any piece of junk food is about the equivalent of my whole half hour of hard exercise.  

The Treadmill I've got has this cool read out of how many calories and carbs and all that isht you've just been by.  So my average half hour exercise session is currently good for about 217 calories.  That's the equivalent of a Milky Way Bar (full of carmelly goodness) or a big Henry Weinhard's root beer (which I'm enjoying the creamy smoothness of at this very moment).

I hate to gripe like this, but now that I've really started counting calories I'm using it feels pretty sucky.  I feel like I'm hacking most of the things I like to eat out of my diet.  On the brighter side I'm down closer to 180 rather than 190, which is cool.
