I'm in. I already went over everything today for food. However, I did do good for the work out. The last two days have been horrible for eating but besides that I have been good. For having to lose 500 cal a day, today I lost 623 calories. For my workout I ran 2 miles on the treadmill in 30 min then did 42 min on the elliptical, that was it cardio. I then did 150 crunches and 50 Sumo squats.0

I'm totally in!!! Just finished a 5K "Hot mess mud run" Saturday, so this is right up my alley. The mud run was a 5K run/ obsticle course built by the marines.
Planning to continue running (every other day), kickboxing, walking the dog (daily), zumba, and just keep moving!!!0 -

Great challenge! My biggest struggle will be with sugar. I don't even have much of a sweet tooth, and yet I exceed my sugar macros nearly every day.
Looking forward to burning 3,500 calories this week though!!! I'm hoping to hit around 800 or so tonight... I have a free personal training session.
GO TEAM!0 -
Well since I'm joining today and not yesterday, I guess this is a Tuesday challenge for me. I'm all in for the challenge, but I am going to a MLB baseball game on Saturday that I know I will go over calories on (I'm a beer girl!). I have amazing seats right by 1st base, and I am going to fully enjoy myself. So I will make this a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday challenge!

I think you will still be able to succeed with going to the game even though you are a beer girl. The challenge is for the week and not for each day. So even though you are claiming now that you are going to go over you may not with the weekly amounts. Here is an example: I am allowed 34g of carbs per week since my diet is 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat. This means I am allowed (34x7) 238g of carbs per week. If I have 25g of carbs from Monday to Friday, that is 125g of carbs (25 x 5), leaves me with 113g left for Saturday and Sunday. This may not be what everyone else would agree with but it is how I do it.
For me, I have always based my diet on a weekly diet and not a daily one. By monitoring my diet daily, I would not be able to have those "extras" that I enjoy, here and there.0 -
I'm game, kind of nervous what end of week ststs will tell:noway:0

kmorris21 burned 866 calories doing 54 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Elliptical Trainer" yesterday, I went over my sugar though...
Today I have burned 674 calories doing 50 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Stationary bike, vigorous effort (bicycling, cycling, biking)"
1540/3500 done!!!0 -
2 questions:
1: I don't track sugar, so can I substitute sodium instead?
2: I don't typically do cardio, but lift weights 5x/wk. Lifting burns less immediate calories, so how do I make this challenge work?
Or am I SOL and just have to wait for the next challenge?

WTG! Nice going!!
Even though you went over on your sugar, like I did as well, try to base your sugar intake for the entire week's allotment. Lessen the sugar intake for the rest of the week? Can you try it that way?0 -
Ugh. You are making me work too hard. I only watch my cals EVER. Ok. Ok. I can do this. My fiber will always be high though.0

I walked when I was away because the weather in CO was beautiful in the mornings and evenings and my gym was nowhere nearby. I don't even think they have a location in CO. I lift weights exclusively now that I am back at home because:
A) I hate cardio
I live in AZ, so it's HOTHOTHOT to do anything outside, which I prefer over anything indoors
C) I don't have 3hrs/dy to dedicate to walking (wish I did because it's the only form of cardio I actually like)0
