    Finally got myself a decent HRM tonight! Can't wait to try it out in the morning and see if what MFP calculates is anywhere close to the HRM reading. As of tonight I only need 658 more exercise calories! Woohoo!

    Thursday: 826 from swimming
    Friday: rest
    Saturday: 1044 from running
    Sunday: 889 running/walking

    Total so far: 2759/5000

    Not too shabby. I wish I had the cash to buy a heart monitor--the running on MFP is never quite right for my pace and doesn't take into account that half my run is uphill the whole way.

    I will start with you all on Monday, but for my half week, I think I was on target!

    Lost 2 lbs! (but to be fair my TOM ended, which always brings me down. I don't expect that kind of loss every week.)

    Good work to everyone! Let's keep going!!

    Mon 641 - running and walking (and doing something nasty to my calf!)
    Tues 698 - a few hours walking
    Wed 1264 - a good bit of walking, and a nice long swim.
    Thurs 1354 - swimming, elliptical, walking, static back, resistance
    Friday 1233 - walking (fast and long!) and running (short and slow) :-)
    Saturday 1673
    Sunday 2003

    I did several hours of cardio on Saturday and Sunday, hence the bigger numbers. It was great. I don't think I've ever pushed quite that hard before!

    Total - 8866 / 5000

    I feel very pleased with that!

    I'm also seriously impressed by everyone else's achievements this week. You guys are incredible. Well done everyone!
