Day 3 & 4 - Calorie Count Commenced

Well, "doing well with calories but did not exercise day 3 or 4."

I started a calorie count with MyFitnessPal and did some research. I'm attempting a consistent diet of 1800 calories per day. With my current weight this will lead to weight loss (approx. 0.5lbs pet week if I am calorie compliant) and would allow me to maintain my goal weight once achieved if current every day non-exercise activity levels are maintained.

This seems like the best course of action to me, as it means I can create healthy eating habits that are maintainable and do not need to change. As I get fit, which will contribute to more than half of my fat burn, I can increase the exercise to prevent plateauing, but keep eating habits consistent.

Bonus: If I maintain higher activity levels, I can eat more once my weight is in the healthy range!
