    Lucia, I use a HRM to calculate calorie burn instead of MFP or the machines. I'm guessing it's closer to the truth.

    Hi I'm Laura. I'm fairly new to running so that is my main fitness focus as I work on increasing distance (speed will come later.) My goal is to burn 5500+ calories (and to run 25+ miles.)

    Mon 1/28: 547 calories, jogged 3.5 miles
    Tues 1/29: 808 calories, jogged 4 miles
    Wed 1/30: 1224 calories, jogged 6.5 miles
    Thur 1/31: 472 calories, walked 3 miles (rest day)
    Fri 2/01: 1021 calories, wogging 5 miles
    Sat 2/02: 665 calories, walking 3 hours errands (rest day/sore ankle)
    Sun 2/03: 0 calories/ SICK DAY


    Total so far: 4738 cals burned, 762 short.
    *25 mile goal completed*

    I woke up sick so I need to rest. I didnt get any sleep last night because I wasn't feeling well. I'll catch you lovelies next week. With a tender ankle and now being sick I better set my goal lower, maybe 3500.

    Weekly Goal: 3500
    Mon: 528 (180 on a brisk walk with the dogs, 348 at my favorite dance/weights/ballet bar/cardio fusion class... I just called it "dancing" for 60 minutes!)

    Tues: 415 (My poor pups didn't get a walk today due to terrible rainstorm... Bummed that it also knocks my calorie count down! I did 10 minutes at home punching the heavy bag - 73 cals, 20 minutes at home lifting free weights - 72 cals, and 90 minutes doing pilates on the reformer - 270 cals. Today was a good combo of strengthening core, arms and shoulders!)

    Wed: 761 (581 in a cardio ballet barre/intervals/weights class, 180 on a 45 minute walk with the pupsters)

    Thur; Long, crazy day, so I just managed to get two tiny workouts in: 198 cals. (90 cals for 30 minutes of pilates on the reformer, 108 for 30 minutes swinging kettlebells.)

    Fri: 908 (An hour of pilates on the reformer for 179, a super-long walk with dogs for 729)

    Sat: 179 (got a speedy hour of Pilates in-- all tower work, including some advanced stuff I hadn't done in a while... waterskiier, anyone?)

    Sun: 198 (108 swinging club bells for 30 minutes, 90 from a super-fast 30-minute pilates reformer workout)

    Total so far: 3187
    Total to go: 313

    *** Ugh, fell short by 313 calories this week-- mainly due to some truly abysmal weather that added to my commuting time rather dramatically and didn't allow me to spend as much outside time with my dogs as I wanted to. Onwards and upwards! Next week I'm going for 3,800!
