    I will not reach my goal by tomorrow, but at least I exercised every day this week and tracked it. I suppose if you do the math, you would have to burn at least 500 calories a day to reach 3500 cals/week. I'm exhausted after spending 75 minutes at the gym and only burning 400 calories!! Whoever reaches their goal deserves a trophy. Monday starts a new week and a new challenge!! Good luck everyone to reach your goals by tomorrow!

    Fantastic mountain bike ride in the sun. About 28 km of red and black routes, took us 5 and a half hours but I'm guessing we spent a while over lunch and waiting for each other, so put it down as 4 hours - but I think it'd take all the fun out it trying to get an absolutely accurate figure for this!

    WOO HOO!

    I cannot believe I did this.

    To make sure I hit 3500 I just did a minute of jumping jacks. Sure, I don't log in things like cleaning, and sure, I log my 27 minutes of 30DS and other circuit training as 20 minutes, but it's good to see I got to 3500 within my terms. :D

    So psyched I hit this goal. I think I'll take it easy a week and try this again the week after!
