1300 calories!?

Ok, today my fiance hosted a "sports day" to honour this years Olympics at his school! (he's a phys-ed teacher) It was for all kids grades kindergarten to grade 8 and he had the highschool kids running it (it's a K-12 school). I went in with help to help run and organize everything. Long story short, I spent the WHOLE day walking and running around (about 5-6 hours worth I'd say), with very little time to stop to eat (I did have water on me though! thought ahead :wink: ). Yikes, so I get home around 5pm, log my excercise and I burned in the neighborhood of 1300 cals today for excercise and I still need to eat all of that?? hah. I've never logged more than 500 or so calories, so I am really pround of myself. Although I must say, my legs and back are sore as heck, thank goodness tomorrow is Saturday. Just had to share :bigsmile:

PS it was a very fun day and the kids had an awesome time! :flowerforyou: Hope everyone had a day as good as mine!
