Some days are better than others

Well, Friday I got busy, and had no time for formal exercise.  Lots of errands got done, but no exercise.

Saturday was better.  I got up early and did an hour on the treadmill; 5.5 kms for 414 calories burned.  I also did 3 sets of 15 situps and push ups, plus some stretching, so I was probably around 500 calories for the morning workout.

In the afternoon I went for a leisurely bike ride, 6.7 km in less than half an hour, for another 180 or so calories burned, bringing the total for the day to just under 700 calories.  That’s a good day’s work, but it looks highly unlikely that I will be able to hit my target of 3,500 calories for the week.
