    My calories burned for the week was only 2995. I did not meet my 3500 calorie burn goal. I hurt my foot and was unable to do much Fri-Sunday! Sorry guys!!!! I tried really hard but had to stay off my foot unless it was wrapped up. I will try again this week to meet my goal of 3500. Thanks for the challenge!
