It seems that even though I started the challenge I seem to have the most difficult time reaching my goals. Everyone else is doing so good.

For those that don't know this is a weekly challenge that starts on Mondays. Anyone can join week to week. Everyone sets a goal of atleast 3500 calories to burn for the week and then push push push until you achive it. We have some people doing 3500 calories and even some up to 9000 calories. Also with posting how you burned your calories gives other people ideas on new or different things for exercise.

Here is format for your daily updates.

Weekly Goal:
Mon: calories burned (how they were burned)
Tues: calories burned (how they were burned)
Wed: calories burned (how they were burned)
Thur:calories burned (how they were burned)
Fri: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sat:calories burned (how they were burned)
Sun:calories burned (how they were burned)

Total:
Left to go:

Keep on burning on.

    Yay!! My goal is 5000 for this week (600 more than I got to last week!). Which will probably be mostly accomplished after Wednesday except for my Insanity workouts till then - finals will be done. I'm actually excited to push myself towards the end of this week! Good luck to everyone =)

    Day 1--780 burned: stationary bike, walking and tidying up around here--I count that as "cooking or food preparation, cause its not all that energy intensive but you're moving around a bit. Its as low as I can go and still call it exercise. Made my calorie goal too, as long as those Christmas cookies in the fridge don't reach out and grab me.
