    This last week I managed 7091 (Woo!), my best yet I think. Predominately down to swimming and cycling with a little walking and some abs and arm workouts thrown in for good measure.

    I don't have my before and after weights as I don't have any scales

    ok, so the week before I did not meet goal, but I did this week. On the up side, on all my exams I have made A's! So I can not be that sad about it.

    this past Week 5648

    This last week I aim to finish how I started the challenge, with 10,000, to make up for the week where I did not meet goal

    Despite making calorie burn every week, I didn't have the weight success some have had. I'm down one pound for the month. But hey--better a pound than nothing!
