If any of you have been part of my past challenges you'll notice I'm going to do things differently this time. Instead of putting up a number that's unattainable for some I've decided we all put up our own number.Please make it something you'll have a tough time reaching otherwise it's really not a challenge now is it?The formats the same so good luck & be safe!!

The challenge starts january 19th & ends January 25th. Here's the format I'd like to see used::


My Weekly Goal: 10000 calories

    For me I'm usually able to burn more than 10000 calories because I live in florida and can go on long bike rides! This week though I tweaked my hamstring playing softball so we'll see....GOOD LUCK!!

    I see, that's awesome and sounds like tons of fun! I live in Michigan and it's pretty hard to exercise outside in the winter without dying because of the slippery ice and the cold! But I'll hit the gym and hopefully get to my goal. I guess I also have some unrecorded exercise since I walk to get around campus.
