    Here is my results for day three, week three.
    - I did one of my Fitness walks for 20 minutes and according to my treadmill, I burned 181 calories.
    - I danced to a song for 2 minutes and according to MFP, I burned 10 calories.
    - My strength training lasted for 13 minutes and according to MFP, I burned 50 calories.
    - I only got in 5 glasses of water.
    Total: 35 minutes. 22 minutes is cardio and 13 minutes is strength.

    chickadee's week three progress:
    Total Weekly Minutes: 99
    Total Weekly Cardio Minutes: 77
    Total Weekly Strength Minutes: 22
    Total Weekly Water Intake: 21 glasses

    chickadees total 6 week progress:
    Total Challenge Minutes: 970
    Total Challenge Cardio Minutes: 715
    Total Challenge Strength Minutes: 270
    Total Challenge Water Intake: 131

    My strength training hasn't lasted that long since last week lol. Water wasn't very good today though. And surprisingly, my blisters aren't as bad as I would've thought. There more like just swollen sore spots, so maybe that wouldn't be considered a blister since the skin isn't broken. I have no idea lol, but I did work out through it like I said I would.

    Ok I fell off the wagon last week. Only got a little over 60 minutes of exercise in but I lost 4.6 lbs (shocking since I've been fluctuating between the same few pounds for 6 weeks!) and completed my 5k on saturday in 31 minutes and some odd seconds, first one I've run the whole way through. So even though I didn't meet my minutes and water I had a good week goal wise. I'm looking forward to getting back on track with everyone this weeek and really PUSHING myself! Good luck to everyone this week!!!

    Awesome that you lost 4.6 pounds and you did a 5K!! I'm going to do my first 5K this Saturday. Any tips?

    Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great Thursday-one day closer to the weekend and maybe some nice weather! If mother nature cooperates, I am hoping to get a good 4 hours of riding in on Saturday!

    So here's my numbers for the past 2 days:

    Wednesday:
    40 minutes-elliptical
    50 minutes-bike (still on the stand inside)
    8 glasses of water

    Thursday
    60 minutes-elliptical
    30 minutes-walking
    60 minutes-circuit training
    10 glasses of water

    I am at 495 minutes for the week but really have no clue on the breakdown between cardio and strength training-will figure that out before the week is over.

    Keep up the good work!
