Ohhh yeaaaa mama said to knock you out! That's how I felt today. As I was on the elliptical, doing my thing, I saw a girl probably 1 o'clock to me and being the curious George I was, I peeked over to see how many calories she had burnt, how long she was running for etc. She looked fit and was going hard. She was going at level 8, I was going at level 15. She had 5 minute lead on me, so my competitive side hit me. I'm going to catch up to her calorie-wise. She was a good 55 calories burnt ahead of me, I was going to catch up to her. I was running like a mad woman, adrenaline rushing through my veins, slowly but surely, the calorie gap decreased.. 40, 30, 20.. I was worried I wouldn't complete my mission in my 35 minute cardio time. I had 4 minutes left and I caught her at the 363 calorie mark on the elliptical! Yes! Mission accomplished! It was a small victory for me, but it felt good. I managed to out do her calorie count by a difference of 11 by the end of my 35 min cardio. Woot woot :)
I followed tree's work out pic she sent in the group chat in addition to my regular routine. I always did 30 box jumps at every work out so that was easy. The leg pull in were a challenge for me though. 
According to my suunto watch, I burned 222 calories doing cardio meanwhile the elliptical said I burnt 390. I'm going to say that my watch is more accurate since I have a heart rate strapped to my chest.
End of my work out:
I'm going to try to wake up early to go to the gym tmr since I know the evening is write off. Another day closer to spartan.
Peace out.
