    Yay!! We start tomorrow!

    I am stoked!! We are going on a 4 hour trip tomorrow to a family fun day with my husband's work...I SO wish I had a heart rate monitor!!! I hope to be back in time on Sunday to do Zumba..otherwise, I will make up for it on Monday and work out in the morning with a friend and then do Zumba that night. Honestly, I am not big about working out on the weekends, so hopefully this challenge will help to push me :)

    Oh...quick question...how do we log our cals burned? Do we report them here or is there a link else where?

    includes: 2.5 mile indoor track jog/walk intervals, 10 mile exercise bike, 2.5 mile treadmill walk and 1/2 mile swim.

    i hope that's good! i don't burn many calories/hr. It's a good day for me:smile: ...164 minutes

    i don't think it's required but adding sw=192.0. i hope/intend to make it out of obese this month. i need to get to 185 to be just plain overweight.

    I apologize guys. My family took a small road trip yesterday so I didn't get anything in. We are heading home today, so that will be another 4 hours on the road. I will get at least a walk in tonight but will be hitting it hard tomorrow!
