    Here’s the challenge:
    Burn 7000 calories in the month of August!:smokin:
    The goal is to burn 7000 calories. You choose the workout! :happy:
    That’s about 225 calories a day.

    Here I go!
    20min weights
    20min fast walk/run

    I decided to not participate. I'm a bit over-extended right now. Good luck everyone!

    I am having some serious misgivings :huh: about my ability to burn 10,000 calories this month. I have to put on the big girl pants and go for it!!! :wink:

    My first day back at cardio in over a month. Don't want to re-injure my leg, so I just did some Gold's Gym cardio boxing today. 28 minutes for 228 calories.

    I was on my feet for 6 hours straight while wearing heavy work boots building a structure at my club. My feet and knees are killing me! I estimated my calories as 3 hours of slow pace walking.

    Since I have already lost 15 lbs and dropped from 188 to 173, I have decided to change my target goal weight from 170 to 165 pounds. The last time I weighed 165 was when I was 11 or 12. However, due to my TRX workouts, I'm starting to see some definition so I know that this 165 lbs will be very different than the 165 lbs of 40 years ago! Over 7000 calories in August will help me get there!

    Coming in on day 2, but I did manage to get in a walk yesterday on my lunch break at work and then did my treadmill walking today. Here's my progress so far:

    8/1 -- 158/6842
    8/2 -- 523/6319

    I will probably go over the 7000 for the month, but I really have no idea how much to predict, so I'll still with that as my challenge for now. :happy: Good luck everyone!

    Just want to be sure. We have to keep pasting the updated ticker in this thread each day, yes? Because you can't edit the original post, right? Thanks.

    We were on a trip visiting relatives today so it was hard to get in exercise, but my three day average isn't too horrible.

    I decided to stick with it. It's the keeping track that's hard, o I'm doing a spreadsheet. I've been swimming a lot and adding in body weight resistance (crunches, push-ups, squats, pelvic lifts) to help strengthen my body overall.

    I can really feel a difference in my legs and my arms are buffing up.
