Shin Splints and Exercise.

I don't want to walk tonight.
I set a goal for myself of 3 miles a day, started Thursday. Did over 4 miles that day, and over 7 miles yesterday. I'm WAY ahead of my weekly goal, and I am using that as my "I don't NEED to walk tonight" excuse. SOMEONE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me.

I ate really well today, and walked about 7.5 miles. When I logged the exercise, it said I need to eat around 1100 more calories for today. WTH? I can't do that! I'm not hungry and refuse to force feed myself to meet the calorie goals. is this ok?

This time, however, I'm completely serious about losing…
