    Nice burning!

    I didn't manage to get any exercise done today, up in the night with my baby boy and so my exercise time was taken over by much needed sleep!

    I have decided to go for 10,000kcal

    1st 622
    2nd 0

    remaining: 9378

    And goodnight!

    Oh Rachypompa! Hang in there! Get some rest. I'm going for 10,000 calories as well.:bigsmile: Let's do it!

    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.

    AndiGirl70, I post each day I workout, but it is up to you. When you update your ticker at tickerfactory.com, your previous posts will reflect the new numbers. How are you feeling lately?

    Sorry I didn't check in on the weekend, I am not on my computer much when I'm not at work. We were getting ready for my daughter's 1st birthday party all weekend, so I barely had time to breathe, let alone exercise! I certainly burned calories, but I'm only gonig to count "formal" exercise. Anyway, I did manage to get a bike ride in yesterday and rode to the train station this morning after a quick bit of Wii this morning (but made it as high intensity as I could).

    Goal: 7000

    update through Aug 6th

    goal: 10,000

    calories burned to date:

    8/1 195
    8/2 546
    8/3 1213
    8/4 212
    8/5 543
    8/6 520

    total through 8/6: 3229

    remaining: 6,771

    (I am thinking I might have set my goal too low.. might need to post a higher goal. I will see where I am sitting next week and reassess then :)
  • I went to the gym with the full intention of doing a cardio/strength interval class...and my 3 year old pitched a FIT when I tried to drop him off at the kids club. He usually really likes it there. Sooooo - he is napping now. That just might not be a good time of day to go for him (right after lunch). God lord I hope that is all it is! So after I got him napping I did one of my flow yoga videos.

    195 burned leaving me 4648

    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.

    Keep track of everything can be a pain. I'm glad you are sticking with it!!! :bigsmile: I am not the strongest swimmer in the world so I usually don't swim for exercise, but you have inspired me!

    So I ended up doing 20 minutes of elliptical last night (So You Think You Can Dance can be quite motivating!), and I got up early this morning and did 30DS and a bit of pilates. This challenge was exactly what I needed - thanks!

    I've started late (and slooooow) due to surgery so my first week was ZERO...this week so far I only have 161 from a half hour gardening attempt. Oh well, getting better so I'll pick up in a bit. :ohwell:
