    Last week on Thursday I had 8.25 miles on Elliptical or Cross country or whatever that funny looking cardio machine is called. I did 4 sessions of 28mins and the calorie burnt were 960. I did a little over 7 min of tread mill to do 40 more calories, to do the total best of 1000 calories in a day. Wow, I feel good to brag here. But you know what, I would not have done any had I not been in a gym where everyone else was doing. I hope to match this again today at 24hr fitness gym.

    I think we should all brag a little bit here! It is great to share your feelings of accomplishment with other people trying to do the same things you are.... :-)

    I have to move furniture today...can I get any more calories for that? LOL

    But please dont over do it. I have lost a friend at gym some 10 yrs back when he got into weightlifting bragging competition. Just be moderate and gradually built up. I started with 200 calories and added 100 each day. Now I think 1000 is the max number for me and will hope to do it whenver I am motivated but will try to do atleast 300 a visit.

    Wow, that is amazing!! I just ran 1/4-ish of a mile, came home and almost passed out on the floor. I hope someday to maybe get up to just 1 mile. 9 miles seems so far away from this point.

    Again, awesome job!!

    I moved furniture from upstairs today. :frown: 3 bedrooms, with lots of help of course. :wink: Not moving till the mid of week but wanted it down here since I work all week. I looked it up and for 2 hrs i burned over 600 calories. Thank goodness. I just ate 3 oreos. Great job on the runs.:drinker:

    :laugh: Me too! I ran a little today, crawled in the front door, and laid down on the floor for 5 min. I would have laid down in the front yard, but thought the neighbors would see!
