    OK, here it is the last day of the week ... I set this crazy goal for myself and I have a long way to go! I'm gonna try to do it, though. At my modest level of fitness, this means a lot of minutes with resting and protein snacks in between.

    1694 in one day?

    Done: 30 min walk (3.0 mph): 140
    Done: Low Impact Aerobics 30 min: 213
    Done: 30 Day Shred Level 1 (day 6) 25 min: 284

    1057 calories to go at 3:00 pm and I am off to do the stationary bike...

    I think 3500 might be too much for me right now I'm going to bump it down to 3000 calories per week and see how it goes.

    OMFG!!! I did it! I am INCREDIBLY proud of myself! I don't know that I have done anything productive as far as weight loss, but I pushed through and completed the calorie goal. Considering that three months ago the only calories I burned were used to walk to my car and into the office, I feel this was quite an accomplishment.
