    Thank you very much for keeping up this challenge! It has been keeping me accountable the past 4 weeks! I started with 3,000 and have upped my calorie burn target by 500/week since. Last week, I exceeded my 4,500 target. This week, I'll target 5,000 calories.

    Week 5: 5,000

    I'm back in...sat out last week because life was just crazy with all of this tornado mess here in Joplin. I'm going to set my goal at 3,500 instead of my normal 4,200 (since I never could reach that one anyway) and hopefully be able to fit in workouts amongst all the other craziness!

    I know this is off topic, but wanted to say that I am keeping everyone in Joplin (and their families, as well as people in the surrounding areas) in my thoughts.
