So it's every good Catholics favorite time of year, LENT!

Part of my Lenten goal is to burn 3,500 exercise calories a week, and I thought that others might have the same goal or want to make that one of their goals. I've copied the format of similar challenges since they seem to have a pretty slick system down.

Each day post the calories you burned, current total and how many you have to go.

Here is the daily update format.

Weekly Goal:
Mon: calories burned (how they were burned)
Tues: calories burned (how they were burned)
Wed: calories burned (how they were burned)
Thur:calories burned (how they were burned)
Fri: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sat:calories burned (how they were burned)
Sun:calories burned (how they were burned)

Total:
Left to go:

FYI You can only edit your post for about an hour after you post it. You can either copy and paste into a reply or quote your last post to update

    Looks as thought I am not going to get near the goal of 3500cal. I thought I was burning 400-700 cal a workout before I got my HRM. Now I know I am no where close to that. My bike and MFP way over estimate my calorie burn. =( I am on medication to prevent headaches and it lowers my HR making it very hard for me to get in to my target zone.

    Monday
    170cal (Stationary bike and rebounding)
    Tuesday
    204cal (Stationary bike)
    Wednesday
    0
    Thursday
    154cal (JM 30day shred level 2)
    Friday
    0
    Saturday
    434cal (Stationary bike, rebounding and JM 30day shred level 1)
    Sunday
    338cal (Stationary bike)
    total 1300 cal
