I was going to post this mmmmm…Monday? BUT – as we all know, life has a way of making its own decisions sometimes, and commitments have made this impossible until (hopefully) now.
My Navy Son Brad is coming home the second week of January for two weeks. He and his buddy who is also going to be on leave have been challenged to EACH burn 20,000 calories before that time. I told Brad that I would like to try to do it too….
I think it is doable.
NOW – before you comment about “the crazies” that have apparently attacked my brain again… hear me out. 😛
Seven weeks is 42 days… that’s less than 500 calories a day – AND when I go to the gym (key word here is WHEN), if I spend 30 minutes on the tread mill that’s about 300 calories and 30 minutes on the elliptical is about 300 as well. That’s an hour. If I do a Group Power class I can burn between 300 – 500 calories in that 40 minutes of working out.
Yes it will take commitment but since the accident in June when I had to drop kickboxing and Group Power, I have had a hard time getting back into the rhythm again… I am hoping this is the push I need. The bonus will be that in six weeks that should create a workout habit that I can stick to… and that is the bigger bonus. 😀
I plan to keep you updated here under my morning posts…. I will make a cute little button updating my progress but not this morning as I an 33 minutes out from needing to be at work and need to get moving here. Anyone care to join me? Say so in the comments here and maybe we can email and encourage each other. 😀
I have not started yet… hopefully I will get to credit some calories later today and get this party started. Have a lovely day. I am out of here.

I love this idea! I’m actually having to take the rest of the year off any heavy fitness because I’ve injured myself a bit, so nothing harder than walking for me, but I love that idea so much. You’re right – that’s completely doable! 🙂
I hope you are ok Amanda! Fitness injuries are awful! I need the motivation Amanda… looks like I am starting tomorrow morning when I meet a friend at the gym 🙂
What a great idea, Sheila. Good luck!
Thanks Judith… I hope it is all good 😉
I want to join you!!!
Oh boy!!!
Oh yay Patty!!!
Good luck!
Thanks Kathy 🙂
Oh, I love how you take on your challenges! With energy and commitment…I need to stick to my workouts more and develop better habits!
Good luck!
Thanks Laurel… at the end of the day I dont feel very energetic or committed… 😛
I’d like to join you too. I have to get my cholesterol down. It’s a tragedy to see all the deserts that I can no longer have.

Oh good Mike – and I hear you 🙂
I’m in. I really need a few fitness challenges to keep me on the right track.
YAY – I will work on that button today 🙂

OH thanks Gina 😉
