    Well I'm not really sure if can say I hit the mark this week or not. Our week was disrupted by a flood in our little town, so the "plan" went out the window entirely!

    I have here the items I know how to track, but honestly I have no idea how many claries one burns running around town helping evacuees and filling sandbags. I know it was a tough 2 days, so I know I was burning cals, but just how many I could only hazard a guess!

    Here's the items I KNOW I can count:

    Weekly Goal: 3500

    Mon: 221 (Treadmill)
    Tues: 265 (Treadmill)
    Wed: didn't work out at all - spent the evening between the phone and the internet watching the flood alert
    Thur: not sure - spent the evening filling sandbags
    Fri: not sure - spent the afternoon and evening helping deliver food to evacuees.
    Sat: 713 (gardening)
    Sun: 713 (gardening)

    Week total: 1912 (not including flood days)

    Remaining: 1588
