More than Just Pounds

I had a rough week of trying to eat an average of right under 1700 calories and decided to redo my goal with the app and realized that I had chosen the wrong exercise level before.  So, I adjusted that to "hard" because I do anywhere from 6-8 hours a week of intense hiking, dancing and then weight lifting and "moderate" was probably not the right selection.

After adjusting my exercise level and putting 2275 as my maintenance average, it put me up around 1900 calories, which sounds so much better for me!  Here are my new ranges:

I do the Plant-Based setting and I have my protein where I personally need it to be.  I also need more carbs than most people because of my 4 hikes a week.  And, I like to eat a good amount of healthy fats in the form of nuts, avocado, olive oil and of course cheese!

On my old scale, I was down 1 pound and on my new scale I was down about half a pound.  But the best news is that my body is shrinking - I lost 2 1/4 inches off my body this week!
