I made 4,739 steps. I walked 1.27 miles. Since I have reset my watch, I am getting calorie assessments that are way off for now, so I will use 100 calories per mile. This amount to 127 calories. I have changed to a more doable base amount of calories. I chose this figure to be an even 2,500 calories. I just will gain weight more slowly. Besides, my first order of business will be to halt the weight loss. So together with my exercise, this makes for a target of 2,627 calories. I have consumed 2,668 calories. Not too bad. Tomorrow, I want to make hushpuppies. It looks easy enough.
Until I can either get this watch of mine to be more accurate, or find one that is, I am thinking of using those charts of calories burned. This is where my walking speed together with my weight provides the calories I have burned. I suspect when I start running, and the watch learns my fitness level, the watch will be much more accurate. Now this is probably based on an average fitness level. I think this means I will be understating my calories burned until my fitness level improves. I may mess with the numeric value of my fitness level on my watch to see what happens.
