Sunday accountability report for week 4 --- 10/7

Here's my report for Week 4 of the Ultra Challenge...

* I completed my MyFitnessPal log for each day, was under my calories goal 5 of the 7 days, and was under my calorie goal for he week.
* Unfortunately I have an injury to my right foot (overextended tendons), and my physician has recommended that take it easy for now on any exercises that involve the lower body. As a result, I was able to burn only 2647 calories this week.

I must confess that not being able to *really* exercise is really frustrating! But I'm hanging in there and taking it easy to avoid exacerbating the injury. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged and supported me --- you have no idea how truly helpful you have been!

Cheers,
Roger

Happy Monday!

I exercised and burned 2360 calories this last week.
I was within my calorie count throughout the week and went over one day.
I logged in every day.
My weight is down around 154 so I am maintaining.

I've started the Strength Challenge and being challenged!

I'll really need your support these coming months as I just learned my oldest sister, Susan, who has been battling cancer now has inoperable tumors in her brain. I'm emotionally drained and the exercise and support are really helpful so...THANKS A TON!

Here's to another great week,
MEB

M. E., so sorry to hear about your sister! Please let us know how else we can support you as you support her.

Cheers,

Hi All,

Sorry that I'm a bit behind in my reporting... Here goes:

1. I completed my nutritional log each day and stayed within my weekly calorie intake allowance (I was within my daily limits all but one day this week).

2. I burned 3588 calories this week. That is less than the 110% (3850 calories) I pledged to do... I hurt myself when I fell during a run last week and my body has been very angry with me this week so I have not been able to push myself as hard as I want to (as I far-too-slowly heal). I am hoping that I am at the tail-end of this recovery and can start pushing harder again this week!

3. I ran my second 5k race (the 1st Annual Goleta Lemon Run) on Sunday afternoon. It was a bit rough but I was thrilled to have Lindsay running alongside me and was very happy that I completed it! They didn't time us so I am not sure how I did. I did have to walk for a brief time at the halfway mark but I also ran harder than I usually do (my heart rate was in the 170s for most of the race!) so I don't know whether I beat my last 5k time or not.

cheers,
Heather

Really great work, Slim! Don't worry about being under your burn target by a little bit... the key thing is the net calorie intake, and you've got that down to a science. And you get bonus points in my book for exercising while on travel!
