    So--just curious--anyone doing anything special or have any tips to reach the 3500 goal? I didn't think i'd have to do anything special but i'm finding that i'm just. not. getting. up. early enough to get that 600 cals at the gym (i really need to have one day off or i'll go crazy)...so to make up the difference i pack up my heart rate monitor and walk over lunch and after work 'till i make up the difference. Any other tips or examples?

    Before this challenge, I was averaging 1700 burned weekly, so I'm definitely stepping up my efforts! Most days during the week, I'm doubling my workouts, and then I'm trying to get some extra exercise in on the weekends. Before I was taking Fri-Sun off every week. :)

    Spinning burns 500 cals in 45 mins.

    On my days off from the gym I walk part way to and from work in addition to walking for 1/2 an hour on my lunch just to get some fresh air. For a total of 90 mins burning approx 400 cals.

    On weekends I'm busy walking around the city exploring or going for a bikeride in addition to 1 or 2 gym workouts.

    Probably won't make it again this week - I have sore throat and have only worked on Monday so far. I'm so sorry guys. My first week I killed it and was over 4000 burned.

    Ugh

    Hey DILIH, I'm having a rough week....have a sick little one at home & he needs all of mommy's attention, esp when he's not the youngest. BUT, we're supposed to go swimming Sat, so I'm hoping I can get in a major burn then to offset what hasn't happend so far this week. I'm only at 1716 thus far...but I think I can get in 2K in the 2 1/2 days I've got left...maybe.

    <p> I don't mind getting the totals for week 2 for the Jalapeño Hotties. (that's the week 7.4 - 7.10, right?) People just need to message me their totals right? Is there a list of all the members you can give me? Or maybe it's in this thread somewhere? Let me know! You sound like you have a lot going on right now!

    We'll talk tomorrow about week 3's totals (7.11-7.17).

    Thanks and pass this message on to any team members you have as a friend!

    Won't be making it this week. Was down with strep throat from Tuesday on. I am finally feeling a little better and will try my hand at a workout tonight. I have reactive airway and it's flaring up something fierce.

    Next week I'm aiming for 4000.

    Great job DILIH!!!

    Had a heck of a week... food poisoning, getting stepped on by a stelletto while wearing sandals (OUCH! foot is black and blue), should spasm during spinning, then a Charlie Horse in the middle of the night but still managed to burn 3,765 calories... mostly walking though. My body has been through a lot this week.

    i thought i had a rough week!!! yikes!!!

    my only excuse is that i had to spend a week commuting back and forth to my mom's house, taking care of her while she recovers from chemo, and coming in late to do "work-related" stuff until 2-3a each morning.

    and you managed to meet your goal!!! AWESOME!! okay, no excuses for me!!

    Hey Hotties!

    Thanks to everyone who has sent me totals so far! I am taking totals for week 2: 7.4 - 7.10. I need week 2 even if you sent them to Tamiesue2 because she does not have access to them!
    You can also send me your total for week 3 that ends today if you already have it. (7.11 - 7.17)

    Again, if you're friends with any team members, let 'em know to get those numbers in.

    Drop it like it's hot!! :)

    Actually, we earned 45 points, but once you remove the point that we lost, the net points was only 33 :(
