    Mon: 500 calories burned (45 minutes elliptical trainer, ran 1 mile, then 30 minute walk with the dogs)
    Tues: 300 calories burned (45 minutes elliptical trainer)

    I found that MFP and the machines at the gym were much higher than my actual burn after I got my Polar FT7 HRM - it was the best health-related purchase I've ever made. Congrats on committing to the challenge and getting accurate counts!
