T Day burn Challenge!

I see a lot of challenges going up this month and it got me thinking...I wonder how many calories my typical Turkey Day meal racks up...I tried to think of the usual things that we have and how much I eat on that day and see how many calories that it adds up to and I came up with somewhere between 1800 and 2000....and that is just during the TDay get together...not including if I have anything for breakfast or sneak into leftovers that night!
I want to see if I can burn my TDay meal (1800 calories) A WEEK until TDay....that is right at 3 weeks away (21 days) so I would have to burn about 258 cals EACH DAY until then to rack a total of 5418 calories burned...which would be ONLY 3 TDay meals for me....That may not seem like a lot to you guys but it is for me seeing as I have pretty much stopped working out....I hope to get motivated and do this....the more people that sign up with me the more I will be motivated to do it!
So here is the challenge....estimate how much you eat at your TDay get together and try to burn that total EACH WEEK (3 weeks) until Tday!! Some examples
1 meal = 1800 cals---burn 258 cals a day starting now till the day before.
1meal = 2300 cals---burn 329 cals a day starting now till the day before.
1 meal = 700 cals---burn 100 cals a day starting now till the day before.
If you miss a day or can't work out every day just figure out what 3 of your meals would be and divide by however many days you can work out and burn that many calories each of your work out days!
WHO IS WITH ME!? Comment below with "I want to burn ? by Tday"
? should equal your 1 meal x 3.....here is mine
I want to burn 5418 calories by TDay! If I go everyday till then, that is 258 cals a day for me!! I will comment each day with how many cals I burned that day....if i burn more than 258 I will not roll them over, that will just be bonus!

Ok I missed 2 days (sat and sun) I guess I did not think about weekends to much when I made this plan...lol. Well I will try and make it up this week. Maybe I need to take the weekends off...I will just spread those calories out during the week.0
