Since your treadmill sessions are your primary form of movement throughout the day and are fairly low intensity, I think you're fine to start by not considering them a workout. (You could always try the pedometer idea from one of the threads to see if you're getting around 10k steps or going far over.) If you start to notice that you're hungry or have lower energy on those days, then maybe add a little more food after walking.

I made a point to try hitting 2600 calories today, and came pretty close. It's harder than you might think. I've worked hard on making lower calorie meals for months and staying away from snack food. Now I'm trying to find high protein additions/snacks, as well as using up meals / soups already made.

Especially when you're avoiding the junk and processed food, yes, it's very hard! And sometimes the sheer volume of food in a meal is hard. I have trouble eating it all sometimes. My co-workers, of course, think I'm a nut
