    This week's total = 1,319 calories burned so far... at least it's something.. next week I'll be gone on a missions trip, so I'm going to weigh in tomorrow morning and add it to the excel sheet. On the trip, I plan on doing cardio every morning.

    Okay, here's my tally so far for Week 1:
    Mon 2nd: 610 calories burned (two 2 mile walks, 30 minute Wii My Fitness Coach core body workout)
    Tue 3rd: 521 calories burned (two 2 mile walks)
    Wed 4th: 641 calories burned (two 2 mile walks, 30 minutes of dancing as per day 3 challenge)
    Thur 5th: 628 calories burned (two 2 mile walks, 30 minutes treading water, core exercises as per day 4 challenge)

    My 2 mile walks are always the same route, but depending on temperature, time of day and who I am walking with, the speed and time spent walking varies between 30 to 40 minutes (4mph to 3mph).

    subtotal @ end of July 5th: 2,400 calories burned so far! I'm confident that I'll be able to burn the other 1100 calories before the weekend is over!

    I just got my FitBit this week and it's telling me that I am burning about 300 more calories per day than the number that MFP gives me. So I am on track to lose more than a pound this week.

    Monday: burned 484 calories in the pool
    Tuesday: burned 548 calories doing day one shred and then in the pool
    Wednesday: burned 495 on day 2 shred and then walking to/from the parade and the fireworks

    Lost power on Thursday from a storm do I didn't get to do any extra exercise, but FitBit showed about 350 extra calories burned above my BMR.

    Today I did day 3 shred, 45 minutes in the pool for a total of 800 extra calories.

    Total for the week is 3177.

    So afer this week I have burned 2330. I will make the challenge of 3500 this week. My issue is I can't stop eating. I have eaten a total of 6514 calories. I am supposed to have 4800 calories for the last 4 days. So although I have worked out I have eaten every calorie "earned'.

    I need to find a way to either work out more or to eat less and since I am hungry all the time I better work out.
    Rather discouraged.

    Sunday: 834
    Monday: 264
    Tuesday: 676
    Wednesday : 1602
    Total:3376

    Thursday:Zip
    Friday: Zip
    Saturday: 1176

    total for all days: 4522

    I think we restart the clock on Sunday so I am posting mine for the week. I wish I had more resolve and was able to work out Thursday and Friday. I am sure based on my rediculous eating that the pound worked off will NOT be seen on the scale. Next week perhaps

    Saturday 415
    Sunday 368

    And I can proudly say that in last 7 days I have lost 0.7 kg which is about 1,5 lbs! I'm sure that I wouldn't have lost that without this challenge so I'm definitely going to do this again at my own time later :D

    Tomorrow is shred day 4 and then more pool time.

    Well I didn't manage the shred today but will do day 4 tomorrow morning. I guess I am going to do it every other day and give my muscles a rest in between. I did manage a couple hours in the pool today for a burn of 517, total for the week is 3671.

    The scale showed a loss of 2 lbs as of today so I am very motivated to keep it up!
