    Monday's goal 1200

    Actual intake 1510....however, earned 453 exercise calories....so my goal on my food changed to 1653...so I was actually under my 1200 goal.

    Wasn't sure how to handle that. Is that ok or should I figure it out differently?

    I hope so. If not i went super over target. i burned about 800 calories exercising yesterday . If i didn't eat them back would have probably dropped dead.

    Wednesday: goal 1200, actual 1300

    Quick question: originally I thought that you should get penalty points if you are more than 10% away from goal, either over or under. Do you think that is right, or should it just be if you go over your calorie goal? Since there's not much chance of me ever being that far under goal :blushing: I'll leave it to you guys to decide. Do any of you have concerns over not eating back your exercise calories?

    Wednesday Goal...1200...1147 actual.


    I don't think you should get penalized if you're under by 10%. But I will support the majority...I can go either way :)

    Wednesday was not a good day.

    Goal - 1300 Actual - 1512

    I rely on exerise to even things out and couldn't get to the afternoon workout due to a plumbing emergency. That cost me in calories AND the pocketbook!

    Thursday will be a better day! :smile:

    Well Friday was a mess. Hubby and I went to the local hang out to watch the World Series (Yeah Cardinals!!!!) with friends and blew all the healthy eating I had done all day. I stopped counting after the three margaritas and guacamole.


    Today is much better.

    Goal net 1600 and actual net is 1082

    My Saturday morning hour long speed walk in the park with the dog plus painting the ceilings in the house really gave me a great work out today.

    Well, I'm off to the shower to wash paint out of my hair. :happy:
