Your right, for me, MFP is off by a lot when I add in the true values from the HRM0 -

As of today, I have worked out 419 minutes and burned 3042 calories and I still have one more day of exercise.
Today is another ladies day out event and we are heading to a winery for a tour and then wine tasting. Since I knew I would be drinking a little I decided to go REAL HARD at the gym this morning.
Great job everyone and thank you for inspiring me to push harder.0 -
Hello All!!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!! I am and getting ready to go dancing tonight. I have no workouts planned today and I don't count cleaning and dancing. Will just be extra since I am not wearing a HRM to the steppin party. Keep wiggling and jiggling guys!
And welcome to the new ones!
Cnbethea,
Good job!! We have lives and we can't get the minutes every week. The important thing is that you are working out regularly and having quality workouts at that. Keep it moving!!!
Carleen,
A heart rate monitor is worth every nickel. I have been using mines for over 5 years now and do not workout without it. It makes sure I am working in the zone and working hard enough. As our bodies get more fit, it does not take as much to get our HR up and we burn less calories. Even when walking it makes you work in your HR range and not slow poke around.
Choco,
You go girl!!! Congrats on another awesome week!!........:-) Keep up the good work. I have 55 more min to get in tomorrow to get 360 and I will get that for sure.

Well I did not make it last week but I will take it. I am going for 2500 calories burned this week because I know I have a lot on my plate the next 2 weeks and will have to shorten my workouts and I will only commit to 2 or 3 days at the gym. I will have to squeeze in DVD workouts at home more the next 2 weeks vs. gym workouts. I may add some lunch time walks also to see if this will help me get the 360 also.
But officially I am going for 2500 calories this week! Have a good week everyone!!0 -

Congrats to all who finished the challenge!!! I bet as we move on you are seeing the results. Unfortunately, I did not finish this week.
Turkey day is next week! Work it off this week...0 -
Wow, it's great seeing everyone that finished the challenge. Unfortunately I fell short of 40mins last week, but I'm here to make it again this week. Hopefully will do better and make it.
Mollie & Kim I know you guys are right and I really should get a HRM but they just seem sooo expensive and I can't justify it right now. Maybe when I find a job & have extra cash.
My workout today was all outside, 60mins blowing / raking leaves, 10 mins stacking wood, 20 mins breaking down the vegie garden. total for today was 90mins.
90 done 250 left0 -

Maybe call the doc and ask for a 'script for prednisone which will reduce the inflammation in the lungs...it works quickly, you've been sick too long0 -
Good morning everyone! Just checking in:
Monday: 30 minutes of Kettleworx, 30 minutes of stretching, 30 minutes of walking in place...................270 minutes to go!
Tuesday: 60 minutes of Plyometrics from the P90X program...........................................................................210 minutes to go!
Great job everyone who was able to knock out last weeks challenge and good luck with this week!
I must admit I really have not felt like exercising so far this week and have had to really push myself. I'm just wondering how others push themselves to workout when they really truly have no desire? I usually talk myself in to doing at least 10-15 minutes and then by the time i'm 10-15 minutes in I've gotten over the hump.0 -

Choco,
Good for you pushing yourself.....:-) I see you are still on your roll this month for doing something every day! Awesome.
Regarding your question, I just tell myself this is what I do. I had the same issue this morning. After missing the whole weekend and Monday, today I had to PUSH myself off my butt because I have to do my 5 days a week at least. Usually after that 1st day I am good to go.
Like you once I start I am good, it is just starting. Especially at the gym, once I am in the door I am going to just do it and ususally have a wonderful workout. I usually I feel inspired just by watching and seeing others in there working out too. This is why I would never be one to just always workout at home. For me being around others gets me motivated to do more.
Just keep pushing forward and be glad and thankful that you can and have the engery to do so!
I finally did something today and I know tomorrow I am going to the gym since I have a late day at work! I burned 420 calories today and I have 2,080 calories to go! I did a Leslie Sasone DVD.
Good job Everyone and keep on wiggling and jiggling this week! Tomorrow is hump day!0 -
Monday 90 mins yard work blowing / raking leaves, stacking wood,
Tuesday 60min on treadmill 30 mins w/o dvd
180 done 180 left0 -
Just dropping in for a quick second. I had not completed the Plyometrics dvd in quite awhile and all I can say is WOW. My legs are still spaghetti after these hours. I did not modify a single move (I have bad knees and a bad back so my ability to exercise hard varies day to day) and these legs are sooooooooooo sore. The crazy thing about it is I absolutely love this feeling because I feel like I really gave it my all.0

these legs are sooooooooooo sore.
Your legs look like they are 6 ft long in the picture...good job0
