I have eaten about 2300 calories. I have walked about 6600 steps. I did not go fast enough for a cardio workout. I should of stopped the monitor when I finished walking, but it then added more calories before I finished the activity on the band. When I checked, I was getting 17 steps per calorie. This totals to about 390 calories. This makes for a deficit of about 240 calories today. So I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow to have more to eat. I can have another tuna fish sandwich which should take care of this defecit, but I am full now. I can spend a little more on groceries. Snacks like bananas can help. I can also learn how to make new more calorie ladened meals. I do not want to resort to eating more desserts.

My watch keeps tract of what it calls intensity minutes. It is heart rate dependent. This is when I am performing basically a mild cardio workout or better. My initial goal right now is at least 240 minutes a week. This is yet another goal along with calories burned from a given amount of steps. I also cannot forget my 26 steps a calorie goal. Then there is that VO2 max measurement of overall health. These watches allow a person to get carried away with all the stats they provide. I am feeding into this obsession with my purchase of a chest heart monitor. Where does it all end? LOL
