Very exciting news, folks. Our P.A. (physical activity, calories burned from exercise) goal for each week is 2000 P.A. calories. As I've mentioned, I've been closer to 4,000 because I've been exercising so much. (Some people in my class don't event meet that 2,000 goal, although one or two consistently do over 6,000 and one was a 9,000 last week.) This week I set a personal goal for myself to hit 5,000 and I did it! Woo hoo! I've been swimming an hour almost every day, which burns 900 calories, and yesterday I did an hour and a half. Add to that a day or two at the gym (instead of swimming) and some walks with Midnight (in addition to swimming) and I got to 5,000 fairly easily.
We'll see tomorrow how it affects my results at the scale!
I think I might make my goal 7,000 for this coming week. That would be 1,000 a day, which is do-able if I don't miss a day of swimming. We'll see - that might be a bit too optimistic.

That is awesome, Barbara! I haven't been swimming all week. :( I figure I'm getting some type of exercise with all the painting.
You are doing FABULOUS!
Good for you Barbara! That actually inspires me to go get on my elliptical machine and work off a few calories myself!
Keep it up - you are doing awesome!
