    So I totally fell off the wagon this week. It was stress all over the place and I just shut down. I'm ready to get back into it this week though :smile:

    I'm keeping the same goal. I know that if I push myself and give it my all I can reach 4000 so I'm not giving up.

    Have a great week everyone and good luck on your own personal goals :flowerforyou:

    You can only edit your original post for about an hour, then that option disappears. I just copy and paste my previous post and then add the new day's calorie burn. :happy:

    I started this last week but quickly realized how many calories 3500 truly is, it's the equivalent of me running about 30 miles in a week. I'm going to lower it to 3000 this week but I still don't know if I'll make it. The training plan I'm following which requires 4 days of cardio and 3 of lifting will just not burn this many and I don't count things like cleaning as exercise. I try to make it a point to not overestimate.
