    I've been away for most of this week (I thought the challenge would start on the 1st September) so I may be a bit behind this week... I have effectively 4 days to burn 5000 - a lot per day for a girl of 140lbs >_< Have strength training, combat and pump and a walk planned for tonight!

    I want a heart rate monitor too! My friend has one and he says its hard to believe what the monitor is reading because he burns way more than he thought he was.

    I feel I'm at a disadvantage - I've had my metabolism tested both resting and exercising, and I know exactly how many calories I burn per minute of exercise at different heart rate levels. At 126-135, 7.2 calories. At 136-144, 10.2. If I exceed 144, I count 12. I look at the calorie burn of some of you and WISH my metabolism weren't so sluggish!) So here's my progress so far:

    Height: 5'5"
    Starting weight: 171.8

    Monday: 768 calories - (Seated elliptical 50 min - 360 calories) (Standing elliptical 40 min = 408 calories)
    Tuesday: 951 calories - (Hiking, 45 min = 411 calories) (Walking 4mph, 51 min = 540 calories)
    Wednesday: 771 calories (kayaking, 2 hours)
    Thursday: 784 calories (Seated elliptical 45 min - 324 calories) (Standing elliptical 45 min = 460 calories)

    Haven't worked out today yet. Have a kayak trip tomorrow!
