Can I get fit without being a calorie counter?

Question

Hi! I am 5'5 and 139lbs. I am looking to get fit and tone some areas of my body (hips, backside, and thighs). I do pilates 5 days a week and already my abs are looking great (its been about 4 weeks). I am about to bump my exercise up to pilates 5 days a week + running 45mins 3 days a week. I eat a pretty healthy diet - fresh fruit and vegetables daily, no soda and lots of water, fast food once a week or less, no red meat, lots of fish, etc. But I do have a soft spot for grains, cereal, bread, etc.

However, I am not interested in being a calorie counter! I want to exercise to tone and get fitter but I am not interested in counting calories everyday. Is it possible that I can continue eating a relatively healthy diet without counting calories and still tone my body? Thanks!

Yes I beleive you can. Maybe you can try some kind of circut training a few times a week. I go to Curves and I lost 17lbs in 3 months and you eat a lot healthier than me. I think the combination of strength training and cardio are great. Check out curves.com and you can see what it's all about.
