You are doing phenomenal Zara! Very proud of you!!! I get carried away watching Lost on Netflix streaming. I have never seen it and am currently almost through season 3. Tomorrow I am going to try to at least get some kind of exercies in. It's week 1 of the NFL and I am a HUGE Chiagi Bears fan, so I will be glued to the tv for that.
Well I'm off to watch more Lost. I don't need beauty sleep because I'm already freakin gorgeous! :laugh:0 -
Hahaha, your funny! If I don't get my sleep I just find it too hard to exercise! Feeling tired today, hope when I start exercising ill get into it. What's NFL? Football? Have a great day! Your doing amazing! Burn that fat! As the guy on the wii says to me over and over and over, when I'm boxing lol. Will log later with calories for the day!0

Day 3. Calories burnt 1051. Total so far 2979. Getting tired now though, so think ill have to reduce the burns, as I've got 3 appointments tomorrow, then work for the rest of the challenge. Will do what I can though! Great hiking today Brian! Your doing great. I've never watched lost either!0

You might have an advantage over the next few days Zara. I've come down with a sore throat this evening. :sick:
I hope it's just a passing thing and not turning into a full blown cold. I am taking Vitamin C, so we will see what happens.
Great job today! Good luck tomorrow!!0 -

You can get that 3000 Brian! How about 3100? 100 for every year of your life? X0
-
I've got a cold too, and a chinese lying in my stomach, that I still feel so full from and lethargic! They call it a treat! I did not too long ago, but now it doesn't taste good and makes me feel awful! Won't be trying one again anytime soon! X0
-
Day 6. Calories burnt 706. Total for the week so far 4668. Zara0

Felt like the old horrible me today! Felt every single calorie burnt today, after eating that chinese. One day of feeling like this is enough to make me realise I just can't and won't go back to the old ways of having a takeaway treat once a week. Not had one for a good few months and now know exactly what they do to me. I know I've got a bit of a cold but that was just ridiculous lol. Hope you've had a better day. I even finished worl 3 hours early lol. Zara0

Day six. Wednesday 14th September. Calories burnt 217. Total calories burnt for the week 2816.0

Thanks kristinanelson! It's actually a very effective way to get you to make sure you get your exercise done. Zara suggested it to me, and I really appreciate that she did. It's been a rough week for us both, though, since we are battling colds. We both got off to great starts and have been slowing down a bit towards the end of the week.
Zara, keep it going my friend! 2 more days to get those calories burned!!!0 -
Doing great Brian! You will hit 3000! Keep going! Zara0

Day 7! Last day of the challenge! Calories burnt 642. Total calories for the week 5310. Zara0

Its a shame the colds slowed us down a little the last few days! I'm quite happy with the result though! Its been a pleasure doing this challenge with you, and I can't wait to see you total weekly calories burnt. Fantastic job Brian, we will do this again when we are both feeling better! Zara0

Day seven. Thursday 15th September. Calories burnt 326. Total calories burnt for the week 3142.
Final day... My total was 3142 for the week. Zara, you kicked my butt!!! Thanks for motivating me to work hard this week, despite battling a cold. When you mentioned I should try to get 3100, 100 for each year I have been alive, it pushed my to get that extra little bit today to get above 3100. Thank you. You are very inspirational!!!
I look forward to doing it again soon!!!0 -
Brian a 100 cals for every year of your life is a massive achievement! Even more so when you have a stonking cold. You've done amazing! I have no doubt that if you didn't have a bad cold you would have been a force to be reckoned with. We will do this again soon! Its been a pleasure! Next week I'm doing a clorie challenge with the woman who left a post on here, she's been looking for someone to do it with. Absolutely nothing stopping you entering the battle if you like starting monday? You up for the challenge? Zara! X0
