We are going to start at a goal of 300 calories burned even tho I know a few of you are already burning 400-500 cals a day, this challenge is to push those who need a little oomph (like me) to reach for burning 300 calories per day this week. It may be double what you have been doing, but we need a push. And this is me pushing you! (plus your results will be greater) Each day post the calories you burned, current total and how many you have to go. That's it, not too hard, other than pushing yourself to hit your goal. Everyone is such an inspiration on this challenge.

**You are allowed 1 REST day** (you choose the day) but you still have to come and report every day even if its your rest day.

Make it great week everyone!! Here's a daily update format you can use:
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:

Bonus Challenge: Try a new exercise this week; a video, a class, a routine, a machine - just something that you've never tried before.

    I am in, even though this may kill me!!! LOL. It is so hard for me to burn calories while doing ChaLean Extream .
    However I do need a push and this will push me. It is only a week I can do it!

    You can do it. First things first, is that negative voice that gives us 'other' things to do then work out. It only takes 30-60 minutes a day. If you can't give 60, try 30. I KNOW you have 30. Don't listen to that voice. When you feel that voice coming on, change it to, "it's only 30 minutes, this is good for me, let's do this" You WILL see change if you try with the mind first. I Promise!

    I have my eye on you ladies ~ I'll be checking DAILY to make sure you've made your entries and ladies it is OK to be honest if you skipped it or were feeling lazy.This is a way for us to be raw, real and true to ourselves. I'm just here to hold you accountable because I need it too. I am not perfect and I will accept this challenge.

    Put in your mind that its something you just HAVE to do for the day. Write it down. Put it on a post it. Pin it to your shirt. Whatever you have to do. lol.

    Well today is my rest day and I deserve and need it. That means I will be starting the challenge tomorrow.
    My normal workout tomorrow is CLX Lean 1. That is normally all I would do and burn maybe 150 calories. So tomorrow I will find a fun way to burn another 150. Looking forward to it!

    Well I burned 714 calories today ! I hit the gym and did the elliptical and the bike. I am kinda bummed because I did have a lot of fat throughout today and that's going to be something I am going to work on !

    Now I do have a question, how do you determine exactly or close to on how many calories you burned working out ? I do want to log close to exactly what I burn. Is the MFP accurate ?
