I have walked 10,552 steps, and burned 750 calories. This is the total steps for the day. The watch starts with the BMR calories needed, which is about 1800, which are the calories needed just to be alive, and then adds on what calories are burned by walking activities during the day. I did it this way because I cannot find the steps for each exersize. I actually burned 503 calories during my exersizing for 4.5 miles of walking. This is what is included on MFP. I am going to try to walk everyday from two to four miles depending how tired I am feeling. I hope what I wrote above makes sense. It took me some time to figure all of this out, and I still do not entirely understand the figures from this confounded watch.

Let’s see, about 1800 for BMR, and 750 calories through activities during the day, including exersize. This makes for about 2550 calories I need to consume to offset this and retain my weight. I am at about 2400 right now. So I will come in short by about 100 calories. The calorie count burned for each step taken will start dropping as the watch figures out how fit I am.

Does this make sense? UpDownAround, does this make sense to you?

Whew! Next time I will leave most of this out of my posting since I have explained what is going on here. I am posting my food diary below that includes what I will eat for dinner.
