Hi everyone! I've done this challenge (burning 5,000 calories/week) in September and October and would like to continue on into November. Who's with me? We will throw in today (10/31) and continue until Nov. 28. Just post your calories burned every Monday. See below for an example I posted for this past week. Good luck everyone...see you next Monday! :o)

**EXAMPLE**
Week 4:
Monday (10/24): None-left for cruise right after work!!
Tuesday (10/25): 1st day of cruise-769 (62 min. walking; 25 min. elliptical; 10 min. running; 7 min. rock wall climbing!)
Wednesday (10/26): 2nd day of cruise-625 (90 min. walking around Nassau, Bahamas/jogging track; 12 min. running)
Thursday (10/27): 463 (48 min. walking; 10 min. running; 7 min. rock wall climbing!)
Friday (10/28): 1085 (60 min. Zumba class; 60 min. Zumba toning class; 30 min. elliptical)
Saturday (10/29): 499 (45 min. (10 miles) Bicycling outside; 20 min. walking)
Sunday (10/30): 1044 (110 min. singles Tennis)

Total for the week: 4,485 calories burned and 1 pound gained.

*Although I was just shy of goal this week I am pretty proud of myself. I was on a cruise ship 4 out of the 7 days this week and still almost burned 5000 calories! I ate like a starving person hence the 1 pound gain. I think I'll start another thread for November...might as well keep this up until Christmas! Great job, everyone! :o)

    Awesome...3500 would be a good goal once I hit maintenance, I think. But I'm going to try to stick with 5,000 until January. See you on here soon! :)

    It is a challenge...but if you don't make it the first week you can always aim for a higher calorie burn the next week. It never hurt anyone to try, right? Good luck and see you back here soon! :)

    What the heck...... I've got everything to lose, right ? LOL. I could use some good motivation that is for sure. Do I just post on this page every Monday, just like your example? Kinda new at this whole challenge n forum stuff. Super excited, so I better get to moving. :happy:
