Just have time for a quick one :)

The day was great! We had a blast tubing and it WAS a workout even though we were towed up the hill by a rope! Pulling the tube from the bottom of the hill and walking up a bit to the rope got my heart going. Then after you ride the tube up, you have to be ready to jump off, walk up a bit and then retrieve your tube from the guy working. It was a blast.

Best of all, Ann met me there! So you know what that means!! She borrowed me her Polar HRM. Right after she gave it to me, I wanted to skip Pizza Hut and go straight home to see how many calories I would burn doing the 30 day shred. Since everyone rode in my van, I wasn't able to do that. I had to go to Pizza Hut.

We walked in and I was set that I would allow myself a salad, 1 breadstick, and 1 slice of pizza. Well... I did all of that, plus an extra slice of pizza. It was just sooo good! But, I planned for it by only eating breakfast (180 cal.) so I had roughly 1120 cal for Pizza Hut. I haven't sat down to figure it out, but I'm gonna call it good. :)

We got home and I sat down on the couch still feeling over full. I decided that I needed to get up and do my workout or I would end up falling asleep and missing it. So I got up, changed, and put on the HRM. I was very excited to find out how many calories this was gonna shave off. If it wasn't for this new, exciting part to my workout, I might have skipped it today. (THANKS ANN!!)

I made it through the shred. Immediately after, and a million times during, I looked at the watch on my wrist. Guess how many calories I burned??????? Aren't you dying to know???? 289! 289!!! in 20 minutes! This seems like a lot? And it didn't stop there! It kept climbing for about 20 minutes after! A total of over 400 calories before it started slowing down. Maybe I don't know enough about this whole exercising thing but to me that's a lot! I'm even more excited to do my workout tomorrow!

Once again, thanks for all the support I'm getting, from people I don't even know. It's amazing!
