    I'm in it! Hard week to start due to out of town but I will push! One question though, if I am doing water activities how can I figure up my calories? THX

    Ooohh good question. How about you swim for at least 40 minutes and that will be sufficient.

    You guys are totally inspiring! I am reading what you all are doing, and am so envious! I will do what I am allowed to do.

    Sunday, July 1: 49 minutes of Physical Therapy Homework = 190 calories
    Monday, July 2: 45 minutes of Physical Therapy = 142 calories, and a lecture about not overdoing it. <sigh>
    6 minutes of walking = 23 calories. Knee hurting and was limping, so came home.

    I'm so proud your doing that. You WILL see progressIt's ok to go home when you feel your knee pain and call it a night just don't stop doing what you can. Baby steps. You are on the right track.

    I LOVE YOUR #'s LADIES!

    I've GOT to be honest. Today I didnt want to to ANY workout. It's supposed to be a rest day for me but if i want my rest day to be on the 4th, i had to pull the switcheroo on the calendar. So I dragged my feet and BAM, killed it. If i was to rate my workout i would say it was an 8. It SHOULD HAVE BEEN A 10!. I will push myself tomorrow. but I did it. I reached goal at 318 ChaLEAN extreme: burn it off and Recharge plus some more painting around the house.

    I was able to play some softball last night. I was amazed at the calories burned. I can feel it in my arms and legs today and cannot wait to do it again tonight!!!

    45 minutes and I burned 329 calories.

    I plan to play longer and harder tonight. :bigsmile:

    I was proud of myself today. I woke up early and first thing did a Turbo Fire HiIT 30 since that one gets me to burn the most calories. Got almost 250 from that, then jogged around my backyard till my HRM hot 300.

    Im so glad you ladies still post on here even if it is a rest day. You are being true to yourself. Rest up, you'll need it for the rest of the week.

    I still have to burn my 300 for today. We have so many people coming over tomorrow for the 4th of july and this house has GOT to be spit shined. I will log off and get started. I'm wearing my fitbit for this one.

    I really didn't want to do a second workout today, but I'm not happy with my contribution to this challenge, so I did extra! And, it felt good! :)
