    OK back from our mini-vacation and for day 1 and 2 I am over on water, under on calories and bushman exercise done. I took today as my rest day since we spent most of it driving
    Yesterday we walked all over Seattle and if you have ever been there you know it's nothing but hills! My buns are burning from the squats and my calves are kicking from the hills. Loving this challenge!

    *** A note on logging calories & exercise ***

    When I first started MFP I was so discouraged because it seemed I would never be able to burn enough calories off by exercising. I did my research and learned we burn calories in everything we do, i.e., cleaning house, sleeping, logging in stuff here on MFP, driving a car, sitting at the office working, standing working, shopping, etc... etc... etc....

    I go to http://caloriecount.about.com/ and I use it to get information on exercising. It doesn't seem nearly as user friendly as MFP, but it seems to have a figure for calories burned doing just about anything.

    If you want, you may take a look at my food/exercise diary to see what I mean. I notice that there are not many people logging the way I do, but it's working for me so I stick with it.

    **** the end **** :-)

    Hi. Forgot to log on last night to confirm that I was under calories yesterday. Today is a rest day for me HOWEVER, I achieved one of my goals today that I set for myself in January when I began my quest to get fit and healthy. Today, for the first time ever I ran 5 straight miles without stopping. Yup, today I ran the Manasquan Resevoir. It's a trail thru nature and around water. I have walked it forever and watched all the joggers pass me by ...... but today I was a jogger.

    Today was a real rest day for me. Traded in my afternoon nap for fabric & pattern shopping with my daughter. She was thrilled, but I'm cranky. :-) Bedtime is near and tomorrow is a holiday from work with lots of house cleaning to do!

    Today's weigh in was not so good when I normally see a 1lb loss weekly. I must have been a slacker last week... LOL.

    Weight 9/4/11 - 160.6

    Hi Karrie, That sounds like a great workout. I miss the hills I walked daily when I lived in Germany. I was in really good shape over there, but then didn't have a car most of the time either. :-) ~Cheryl

    Good for you Kiersten! You will benefit from the exercises for sure. I was wishing I had still at least gone for a walk on my rest day. :-)
