    I know it doesn't seem like much extra per day but by the end of this month I will have worked up to doing 650 cals on the cross trainer each night...then maybe 700 in Nov, and 750 in December.....and who knows where it will all end!
    Slow and steady! I'm in no hurry! :) Today is rest day...........ahhhhh!

    Calories burned today: 997
    Workout: Various (gym day)
    +665 from yesterday, give or take a few.

    Sorry I'm not on top of posting everyday. I usually have to use my phone, which won't let me post on the forums. So I post when I can. Won't be posting this weekend b/c it's my husband's and I's weekend getaway. So will be devoting all my time into that. :) Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and keep up the great work!:wink:
