What amount of calories is this person aiming to stay at?

I stopped drinking to start. Then tried to start eating more healthily, which was easier since I didn't drink any calories and lost a lot of the shitty food cravings that one tends to get when drunk.

I started weighing my food to track my calories, not making major changes the first couple of days, but then aiming to stay at 1200. I like to cook so I got creative making satisfying foods that were easier to control the calories. Like open faced sandwiches, spring rolls, tacos - easy to weigh ingredients when you can add them one by one like that. I'm pretty much eating normal food, not cutting out entire ingredients or categories (did that before with carbs, lost weight fast but not really sustainable for me).

Last few days I've been adding in a manageable amount of exercise. I tell myself I'll do 15 minutes on the stationary bike, and then anything after is "extra." Just trying to build habits and make healthier choices overall.
