Congrats on your loss! I love reading other people's calorie logs. It's so interesting to see how different heights and weights lose with different calorie ranges. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the visit and encouragement. I love reading other people's logs also and seeing the differences in how we all do things and succeed.

Posting this as classes start tomorrow again and I just want to be up and out without being on the internet much in the a.m.; I keep getting the days mixed up in my log here, will go back and fix.
Monday, March 23, 2100
Exercise: 10,000+ steps, 60-sec plank, .20 min. squats
In a hurry to get to class; yesterday was a very enlightening day as far as my emotional health and what I intend to do with my life & I was pleased to have controlled the calories under 2000.
Wednesday, March 25, 1945
Exercise: 7,000+ steps plus the daily conditioning mini routine (1 min each of plank, bodyweight squats & wall pushups )
Huzzah, I know the scale should not influence my mood but it does.
Down .6 for the week to 127.4.
Liking it!
Thoughts on calorie levels: This is the first week in many that my total weekly average calorie level has been under 2000 and it's paid off. Reiterating three beliefs here for the record: 1) Calories count and for purposes of weight management it is (for me) necessary to balance calories in/calories out for maintenance, create a calorie deficit for loss and if I create a calorie surplus, I gain; 2) Although calories vary in how they are processed by the body and how they contribute to our health and well-being, for me, for the purposes of weight management in general, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie, what I weigh comes down to calories in/calories out; it's a law of physics, IMO; and, 3) While I would lose weight eating far below a healthy calorie intake of under 1200, it is not necessary or suitable for me to EVER go even as low as 1200 (for the most part, I might do it now and then for the heck of it and I might do it if I did not have money to buy food or if I were ill and didn't feel like eating or couldn't eat or if I were prepping for a surgical procedure that required fasting or if I adopted some sort of healthy fasting routine where I ate a very low calorie diet on, say alternate days, or a day or so a week only or if I just felt like not bothering to eat now and then for whatever reason.)
