Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!
How did you do last week? I did ok. I had the week off from work and I spent a few times at the gym – I even returned to Group Power (weight lifting) which felt good to move again!
I went to the gym Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday last week and between elliptical, tread mill and weights I did good. I left town on Thursday for a girls weekend and came home Saturday evening and no work out on Sunday.
Yesterday (Monday) I made it to the gym for about 45 minutes with a friend. My day was crazy and the gym time was after work, after I took the dog to the vet, and before I had a meeting to go too…. it was busy but I squeezed in a little time.
Total for the week: 3,600 calories.
This week is insane too – I literally have something every evening until Saturday. Tonight is book club at my house to I will not make it to the gym today but hope to get in some time the rest of the week between life stuff.
Check in with Mari (Bookworm with a View) for the weekly check point to share how you did this last week

Great job on the calories! I’m not sure how much I burned from Tuesday to Tuesday, but last week Sunday to Saturday, I burned about 1800, which is my weekly goal this year (1500-1800). I’m trying to take a bit easy since last year I hurt myself from doing too much!
Good job to you too Amanda! I wont do so well this week… I have such a hectic schedule – and three eating events… gah!
This week is crazy for me too and with my resolution to run every day… it’s hard to time time some days. I have meetings all day today (work… HA), and a dinner tonight. Oh… maybe I should start packing for my trip!!! I resolve to find time though.
Great job getting to the gym! Good luck with your workouts this week.
Thanks Mari – it was a good week
Time to exercise is such a struggle. Maybe that would be a good topic for discussion?
Great idea Joy!
3600 calories! WOW! I’ve just started training for a 5k and keeping up with it on daily mile, but don’t see an easy way to look at calories for the previous week. I’m going to estimate that last week I burned a little bit over a 1000. Hmmm…I’ve got a ways to go!

I have to look into daily mile Shannon! I think that sounds interesting!
Have you been using something else on the web? Or just a notebook?
For tracking calories? I use a Polar watch – I have a post about it on this site. You set it to your age, height, weight and it monitors your heart rate and tracks calories. I use it for indoor and outdoor work outs.
