    Weekly Goal: 3500 - I walk a lot so I've got a fitbit but its not syncing at the minute so I don't know many calories I've actually burned. However I want to use this challenge to burn 3500 doing exercise at the gym on top of my walking so although they aren't 100% accurate i'm going to use the gym machines estimates as the numbers.

    1st Aug: 570 cals burned (20 min elliptical, 30 mins intervals on the treadmilll)

    I do not use MFP to calculate calories I believe they are grossly overestimated. I will also be rounding down in 50 increments to keep adding easier.

    Day 1 (Thursday) : 224 calories burned (running 7.5 min. mile for 16 mins. + 5 mins. calisthenics)

    Total: 189
    Left to go: 3311

    Sadly, I began this challenge with a lovely little injury during today's run. Along with my still-broken toe, I'm now nursing two runner's knees and a sore left hip. I'm going to attempt calisthenics and update my calorie count afterwards! 3500 seems like an awfully large number now :embarassed:

    ETA: I updated the calories, though I didn't burn but 35 before I gave out on myself.
