    I'm doing this,

    1st day of February - no fast or fried food
    2nd day of February - no fast or fried food (I'm at home with parents until tomorrow so hard to do most of this as I'm not in control of what I'm eating - only how much!)

So just had to get up and move some. Ended up doing a combo of jogging/walking and before I knew it - ding 500 cal done :smile:
