    Go Puple! I've got my bike ride in for the day, but still have to do something to burn about an extra 150 calories for the day!

    I'm going to add an additional 15 minutes to the elliptical (from 30 to 45) to get to the 500 mark. If that doesn't work I guess I will have to get on the recumbent at home sometime today. Maybe watch the news at the same time and get some agression out. :)

    I've got about 90ish calories to go for today. Went horseback riding this morning and then did my 30DS dvd (level 3 day 21). Guess I'll take the dogs on a bit of a longer walk tonight after work... maybe a mile walk for them instead of their normal 1/2 mile.

    Tomorrow I will have the 30DS and I'll have my first pole class tomorrow night (hour long). Need to try and figure out how much that burns lol... or what to list it under.

    Awesome thread already -- I love reading that we are pushing extra hard to burn the 500 calories. those extra few minutes are gonna pay off come friday!!!

    Right now I'm a bundle of nerves -- my stepdaughter is in labor, right this very minute. Normally -- I eat. Today I'm going to walk. About 30 seconds after I hit "post reply" i"m setting up the laptop on the treadmill and I'm going to walk thru the worry and excitement.

    It's been so long since I made the time to get my sweat on -- today may be slow -- and it may take forever to get to the 500 cal burned -- but I have approx 50messages and 30 friend requests to add to the list.

    I'm pickled tink that we have so many amazing -- inspiring -- and motivated members in our group. I wasted the opportunity in July to lose the weight -- I'm not letting August slip by me!!!

    Mowing the lawn tonight may be my calories burned for today. Gonna have to give myself a treat for it though since I have balanced my day out so far without any exercise planned. May have to do a bit more though, especially if my boy steals the mower. I can still get him to cut the grass since he is only 6 :)

    Thanks for the motivational group.

    My CW is 161 and hoping to see 150 or less by the end of the month.
