    Week 1
    Weekly Goal: 3,500

    Mon: 461 (Jazzercise)
    Tuesday 427 (Jazzercise)
    Wednesday 404 (Jazzercise)

    Friday (rest)
    Saturday 495 (Jazzercise)
    Sunday (rest)

    Total: 2229
    Left to go: 1271

    So did not make 3500. I think I'm going to lower my goal next week and see if I can slowly ramp up the Jazzercise burn. I love it too much to not do it and I need the couple of days rest for the knees. Calories were recorded with HRM.

    7688 calories this week...I got sick of the cardio machines so i bought a bike last Sunday, I rode it Monday/Sat/Sun...I really enjoy riding it around on the designated bike paths with no traffic. I will try the bike paths every weekend day for the foreseable future.
    Besides that, I do the elipitical and walk at the park...I'm really sick of being chubby.
