If and when we accomplish that, then we're gonna move up the pyramid to stability. And the question that we're answering here is, can I sustain this? Can I, can I do this consistent? Now at this stage, we might find that, okay, well, you know, we're not really able to sustain that 2,500 calories a day, but we're actually pretty good at keeping it under 2,700. So maybe you have to change your nutrition goal to 2,700 calories a day. If you're only consistently walking those 2 days a week, maybe It's time to think about setting the goal at 2 half-mile walks a week.
