    Am I right in thinking that I have to burn 500 per day... which is 3500 per week. Someone wrote 9000 calories! WTF!!!

    I missed my gym today, but hoping to get on it tomorrow!!!

    Go Team Blue!!! xxx

    I am the one that wrote 9000 calories (I burned 5500 last week, so to add another 3500 on top of that would be INSANE)...I think what I am going to do is look at other weeks and compare, because last week was a LOT for me to begin with...I don't think I could make 9,000 calories this week anyways! :/

    This is so exciting! What a great team we got going here!

    I'm struggling already though with this 500 a day challenge. I started P90 on 7/26 and today was my first day off. I have no idea how many calories I actually burn either. LOTS of good sweating going on. I've ordered Polar FT4, but it won't be here til next week....

    What to do? Any ideas?

    Is P90 circuit training? Like in 30DS?

    So I work at a day care chasing 3 and 4 year olds. I rarely get time to sit down and am constantly picking up toys. I work a 4 hours shift. I put that in as 2 hours of light cleaning.... I don't know how else to add that or to find out how many calories working burns.Does this sound okay or do you have any advice?

    Ok, so I did the math wrong originally.

    If I am starting my week on Friday 7/29, ending Thurs 8/4, that means that last week (Fri 7/22-Thurs 7/28) I burned 1010+ 554+580+1238 = 3382 calories...if I add another 3500 to that (extra 500 per day), I would have to burn 6682 this week (7/29-8/4)...that's still INSANE. I thought the math would be 9000 total, which I would never make in a gazillion years, but even 6682 is A LOT for one week.

    I think 3500 total for a week is good :) lol

    Power 90 is the one before P90X... sculpting then cardio/abs for 6 days, then a day off. I just have no way (yet) to know how many calories I'm actually burning.
