I walked 19,424 steps for 1313 calories burned. This includes my walking exersize. On my exersizes, eight miles for about 900 calories burned. So this works out to 113 calories per mile. This first started out as about 160 per mile, then about 140 calories per mile, and now 113. The watch is figuring out my physical fitness level. Also, this is the first day I could walk as fast as I can for about two miles straight. From then on, it was a brisk pace. I have walked well over four miles without stopping. Nice! My heart rate touched 155, with average heart rate of 140. This is well into the cardio range. Amazing. My heart is recovering from exersize much more quickly now. I am becoming healthier! I am so pleased with myself right now!

Ok, now the calories. 1800 BMR plus 1313 is a target of about 3113. I have about 1038 remaining. This is with a full days menu. Now what do I do? Maybe an extra sandwich, like a PBJ or two? Maybe add soup to today’s menu? I can always eat a nice slice of banana cream pie? I like this the best. I will figure this out. I want to get close to my target. Maybe at least 2800 or 2900 calories. All I know right now is that I am very hungry.

Since I can edit this post for a couple hours, I will have by then completed any meals. So I will then update this post with today’s food diary.

PS This exersize is lifting me out of my depression.

Update: I have consumed about 2865 calories with the help of two tuna fish sandwiches. I have about 538 calories to go. So I will eat a couple slices of honey dew melon, and some Coca Cola. So I will come within about 300 calories of my target. This is the best I can do right now. I am full, and it is not possible for me to eat more today. Another low protein day. Not good. Yogurt smoothie with protein powder tomorrow.

I have just realized that the digestion system is not in sync with the calories consumed on a particular day. There is at least a three day lag or more. So maybe I should be calculating all of this also on a weekly basis?
