OK. I made 6069 steps so far today, including my walk exercise. I walked two miles around my townhome complex. I did not push myself. All considered, I burned *approximately* 191 calories. This made for a target of 2496 calories. This is my base calories of about 2090 added to the calories that I have burned. I ate 3000 calories. I am trying to gain some weight for I lost too much weight. I am now 175 pounds. I want to be about 180.

This exerszing has made me feel better. I am getting myself in better shape. Even though I still have periods of depression, overall, I am finding myself emotionally better off. I think exersize is an important element of coping with depression. Endorphins. Now I need that ignoramous of a doctor of mine to place me back on a neuroleptic (AP). My food diary for today follows.

@Amazonmom: Sounds like you are making the right choices. Protein is good.
