I pulled a muscle near my left knee and had to take it easy. But not too easy. I decided to do some light exercise instead. I used the 2-mile exercise from the "Walk Away The Pounds" DVD. I guess I can count today as day 03. I'm learning that it doesn't matter if it's the Shred or not. As long as you exercise.
I also learned a bit about Base Metabolic Rates (BMR) and the Harris Benedict Equation. I learned that I have a BMR of 1,352.1. Using the Harris Benedict Equation, I also learned that if I led a sedentary life of no exercise and just sitting on my butt, I would have to eat about 1,622.52 calories worth of food if I want to maintain my current weight. If I want to lose weight, I'll have to maintain about 1,122.52 calorie intake. But here's the thing, it's unhealthy to go below 1,200 calories a day. So being sedentary just won't do.
So I'll really need to exercise. Even light exercise would do. Having light exercise, the numbers change. I'll need 1,859.1375 calories now to maintain my weight. If I want to lose weight, I should eat at most 1,359.1375 calories. I'm good with that. :)
