      3500+ Calories Burned Challenge 7/18-7/24 -- Week 5 for me.
      (Doesn't seem like that long...)

      I am going for 4500 again this week.
      It was a push for me last week but I exceeded it and I am proud of myself.
      I will aim for the 4500 and try to exceed it once again before upping it again.

      If you don't have a HRM it is very hard to determine calories burned for strength training. At least it is for me since some days when I work with my trainer we do HIT circuit training and my heart rate is always up and some times we do heavier weights less reps which doesn't put it as high. Cardio I can usually estimate pretty well if I forget my HRM just by what I have done in the past but strength training I wouldn't be able to.
