Lost a pound since Monday.
So far so good.
Walked 2.5 miles today and plan another 2 this afternoon.
Bfast: 100 calories
Lunch:  500
Planned snacks 350
Leaving 1800 - 950 = 850 for this evening plus 200 exercise credit =
1050 left.
I'll give myself 50 extra calories for every 20min or 1 mile distance
walking.

Short term goal:  stick to it for one week.

Thank's Scott, this makes more sense than the other way.  Good job,

When you start looking at a tradeoff of eating higher calorie
foods...like ice cream, peanut butter, etc. vs. the exercise it takes
to burn those calories, it really makes you look long and hard at
those food choices. It would be almost impossible for the average
person to burn the calories from an extra McDonalds BigMac and fries
however, so most of us just avoid that if we are serious dieters. See,
to me, I wouldn't waste my time with the peanut butter and ice cream
since you get so little food for the calories. For the same 200
calories, you can eat a bowl of oatmeal plus half a cup of blueberries
for example...no comparison for me at any rate. Another way to look at
this is 2 tablespoons of food (peanut butter) vs. a heaping bowlful of
food. I know it works for lots of people along with the little bitty
pieces of chocolate, but there is no way I would make those kinds of
tradeoffs with so few allotted calories. Give me food....lots and lots
of glorious food. Hey, I feel a song coming on. dkw
