    Righteo count me in - better step up and challange myself this week too then, although I'm going to start counting exercise from Sunday (seeing as its already here downunder). How about 1000 a day for starters.

    This 7 day challenge is helping me break through the mental excuses for not exercising. Thank you for starting it. I am enjoying counting calories burned vs. how many times I have to exercise and for how long. It was easier to get moving tonight when I didn't have to think about a large block of time to set aside. It is progress.
