I like to eat light two days a week (my lower calorie limit) and moderately 3 days a week (in the middle of calorie limit) and splurge 2 days a week (top of my limit both days, and even 100 to 200 calories over my limit one of the two days).

Good idea. I am just not that organized to plan my calories more than for one day, but I do occasionally make sure to eat the maximum so that I don't go into 'starvation' mode!

Do calisthenics during the commercial breaks when you are watching TV. The idea is to exercise intensely for the length of the break, as one would do in interval training.
MORE INFORMATION:
Exercises: Jumping jacks, push-ups, squats, lunges, etc.
At the top of every hour stop do 25 sit ups and 25 push ups. If you can't do a real push up do the modified ones. This will not only get you into doing some exercise every day but it will also help you to increase the amount of push ups and sit ups you can do. Also helps to add stuff to your Fitness calculator.
