    Imma sit this one out... I did 10,000 last week and it kicked my butt. Plus I cant be buying all the food to fuel that many workouts cause I gotta buy X-mas gifts.

    Well this week isn't getting off to a great start.The weather is cold & windy so jumping on my bike for a ride didn't fit into how I was feeling. I did get to play some softball so I didn't go without burning some extra calories.The weekend is suposed to be in the 70's so I guess i'm going to have to really pump the calories away if I want to make this goal.!!!

    Hi Mike!

    WTG on this week's challenge! As I told you, I can't make it this week. I'll be out until Tue, so I might join you on your next one then, but who knows, you're too good! i can't keep up with you guys! The good thing about this is that Santa's bringing me a HRM (I got a Polar FT7), so I'll know the exact calories I burn instead of relying on MFP... Hopefully I'll do better for your next challenge! Take care!

    I'm seeing a disturbing trend in my goals..Two weeks ago I burned over 11900 calories
    Last week I made it just over 10000..This week although the weather hasn't cooperated I won't make it to 7000!!

    Keep in mind that your body DOES need a day off each week, that day can me a light workout but your body won't progress without also "healing".

    This is a NEAT idea though! I will keep my eyes pealed for another one after we get back from our Christmas trip. HAHA there is 4ft of snow where we are going and no gym membership for me SOOO I will be limited. Back on the 1st. See yall then! :-D
