Here is format for your daily updates.

Hey all,
I am back from vacation and wow I am going to need some major calories burned next week to make up for this week. I am going to up my goal to 4000 calories this week. Which means I will probably need an extra half hour a day.

This challenge is a weekly challenge to burn at least 3500 calories. You can set your own goal of at least 3500 and anyone can join at any time. The challenge goes Monday - Sunday.

Here is the format to use 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:

Good luck everyone.

    Hey Ruth, glad you are back and hope you had a great vacation. You'll get rid of that vacation weight in no time, it hasn't had time to "settle in" yet! I'm in with a vengeance this week. I have 2 big events and want to look great so I am kicking up the cardio big time. This is both to look good for the events and have some room to spare for the damage they will do!

    Weekly Goal: 5000
    Mon: 1,148 (weights 65, abs 48, spinning 1035)
