Well it is that week of catch 22. Everyone is looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. Christmas week. It will be difficult to get all the exercise in this week for me with my gym closing at 2pm on Christmas eve and not open on Christmas that will be 2 days where I will not get a good work out in.

This challenge is for the week of 12/19 - 12/25. Please set a goal of at least 3500 calories to burn this week.


Here is format for your daily updates.

Weekly Goal:
Mon: calories burned (how they were burned)
Tues: calories burned (how they were burned)
Wed: calories burned (how they were burned)
Thur:calories burned (how they were burned)
Fri: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sat:calories burned (how they were burned)
Sun:calories burned (how they were burned)

Total:

Good luck everyone and enjoy the festivities.

    I"m in this week. Not sure if I can make 3500 (older son has two a day swim practices and the morning one is right during my first spin class!) and the younger one is still an invalid. I'll give it a shot though!

    Well, I haven't been very good about updates, but I got well over my 3500 for last week and am on track for this week. Thanks, MM for bringing this part of the weight loss/health gain process to the forefront of my consciousness!

    Best wishes for a Merry Christmas!
