    I took on Jack in the Box today and won. Since I live in Podunk MO we have no Jack in the Box anywhere close and I LOVE Jack in the Box. There is one here in Phoenix... I had bought some frozen dinners to stock my hotel fridge, and the maid turned off my freezer and ruined them all!! :mad: So, I found myself in the Jack in the Box drivethru.... but I turned around and went to Subway. Yea me!! :happy:

    You rock girl!!!

    Zero minutes of walking for me yesterday (Tuesday), but I'll get some in later tonight.

    I just got done raking leaves for 30 minutes and thought, you know, I need to count those calories burned, but how? I did a quick google search and found a website that helps you calculate approximate calories burned based on the activity, your weight and the time you spent doing it. The website is:

    http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/CalorieBurnChart.htm

    So, for example, raking leaves would be: .025 x your weight x minutes = calories burned.

    I thought it was kind of cool, and the chart includes various everyday activities. It was really helpful for me, so I thought I'd share the info :smile:

    Thanks for the great link. I'll have to check that out. no walking for me yeaterday. did 30 minutes of cardio though. No walking today as we are getting 6-8 inches of snow. So i'll just be doing more cadio tonight. And LOTS and LOTS of shoveling. Is fit bad that I am excited for the snow so I can have a different workout tonight?

    You're welcome!

    No, it's not bad at all! In fact, it's great to mix up your cardio routines every now and then. As for the shoveling, unfortunately, the chart doesn't have a number for shoveling snow :ohwell: but if you have a heart rate monitor, I'd definitely wear it. I'm sure you can get a great cardio workout just by shoveling!

    You're welcome! Calories burned for weight training is a hard one to figure out. I'm glad this info was helpful.

    Fri - so far (it's only 12pm) 31 min Couch 2 5K plus 20 mins walk

    check in - 94.1kg (207.4 lbs) so I think that is another 2 lbs gone forever.

    The 200lb mark is sneaking up fast for me :-)
