Burning 60 isn't magic…it's science. It's applying well-documented and understood practices to a problem and observing the results. Burning 60 isn't difficult, it just takes a willingness to follow the rules dictated by the well-documented and understood practice of science. All I'm doing is subtracting the active and resting energy I burn each day from the 1,534 calorie budget that I'm sticking to based on my goal of losing about 2 pounds per week considering my height, weight, and age. And now, at the age of 60 years, I've come to understand that it's not the magnitude of that number that is important in my life, it's the life that's always been most important in my years. Life is short, but it should be long enough. We put life in our years when we live our lives in the very best way we can…one might even say "to the top".
