I did strength training today - but when I log into my exercise diary, it doesn't record calories burned. How do I count these calories burned? Do I guesstimate and record it manually? Here's a list of what I did:

Bicep curls with 10lb weights (each arm) - 4 sets of 12
Tricep dips (using bench) - 4 sets of 12
Squats with 10 lb weight - 5 sets of 10
Tricep dip (dipping weight up/down behind head) with 5 lb weight - 2 sets 12 (each arm)
glute machine (30 lbs) - 3 sets of 10each leg
inner thigh machine (75 lbs) - 50 reps
outer thigh machine (50 lbs) - 50 reps

If anyone can estimate how many calories I burned please let me know. I currently weigh 149 lbs and 5'4" tall. Thanks!
