Challenge action plan, Wednesday Post:
January 27th
* My start weight 205lb January 1st 2020
* My challenge goal weight 174 lbs
* Current weight 185 lbs
* My activity is high averaging about 75 minutes a day walking moderately
* Diet is totally out of line. Too many calories going in and activity level is less.
* Exercise I am trying to get as much activity in
* Joyful acts making a effort to be in the moment when talking to people.

Take away. Is simple math. If I want too lose weight. Calories intake needs to be less than calorie output.
