I’m twisted up over kilojoules. 

The nutrition labels here are written with “Energy” instead of “Calories”. We gotta get on this. It’s less scary to think, “I need energy today”. When most people sit at tables going, “OMG How many calories is that chocolate motherload mint n chip cake of Gods!” We can or should now say, “Thank God you hurried yourself up and brought me my plate of ENERGY, waitress lady!” 

Anyhow, because Im slow minded when it comes to logic and math, I have JUST now discovered that a 1200 calorie diet is equal to 5040 kilojoules. That is the daily intake I am seeking here in Australia. 5040 kilojoules a day. Now, here is where it tricks you. They go by servings which go by grams. So you have to do MATH to figure out how many kilojoules per serving you are getting. This is not much different than how many calories per serving, but I’m just saying, then they do the whole ‘avg quantity per 100 grams’ and that threw me. So…. if I calculate correctly, I’ve had 500345897.342 kjs today. 

So…. yeah. Maybe I won’t do the whole “counting the intake” thing and just stick to the basics that I have barely grasped with my tiny mind: get on treadmill. run 5k at 8.0. 

Do try to resist renting movies non stop and eating the LARGE bag of peanut M&Ms just because you can. 

Do try to outrun that skinny bitch next to you on the treadmill. 

Do NOT try to lift weights like a man. 

Do try to incorporate more fibre into your (australian) diet. 

Do try to incorporate more fiber into your (american) diet.

Do enjoy a berocca effervescent tablet every morning as your shot of vitamin b.

Do eat a banana should your stomach feel dodgy. 

Do enjoy the runs more… Running is fundamental.
