      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

      Is P90 circuit training? Like in 30DS?
      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.

      Nothing for Aug 1. But did 30DS for the first time. OMG it was easy to follow. Although I don't know how much I burned. I forgot my HRM. so I really don't know what I burned. I put 260 but I will adjust it tomorrow when I do it again. I want to start C25K too but that will have to be started maybe tonight. Till Then

      GO BLUE!!!!!

      One thing I am struggling with is meal ideas, getting bored of eating the same food :( Bleugh! Any help wud be appreciated!?!?!? x x x x

      I am trying to eat as many fruits and veggies as possible. I am either doing them baked, sauteed, or raw.
      With a simple meat.

      try baking or grilling a lot of meats and then put them up in the freezer in the quantity you need.
      Like marinade a bag of boneless, skinless chicken tenderloin or breasts. bake or grill them. You can make: quesodillas, salad, hot sandwiches, omlettes, pizza, soup, fried rice, thia food.
      When heating it up again you can added spices.
      Hope this helps
