    Hey team. I always feel so overwhelmed after reading the weeks golden ticket. Then I come in here, read everyone's comments and relax a little. I'm excited for the dancing! My 11 year old was already encouraging me to start a "bad (fill in the blank)" dancing series, so I think I'll add this to my youtube channel too. Over the weekend my sister challenged me to a 10k in May. I ran today. All of this working out that I've been doing does not translate to running that far!! I'm not going to quit though. I'll just do my best. Have a great week everyone.

    My gym has a stair-stepper but I've never used it. How will I calculate flights of stairs. I Googled how many steps in a flight but it varies from 8-14. Should I go somewhere in the middle, like 10?

    After my husband's reaction to my dancing I'm not sure it's safe to put it online! LOL! He really liked it.

    Good morning everyone, today I am off to a slow start. I dosed off for a few minutes after my alarm went off this morning, and when I realities I knew I wouldn't get my work out done before my husband got up.

    There is always tonight. But this means another night of not doing any stairs. :/

    I can honestly say I am a little scared of doing this work out. I have moved on to week 3 and 4 of Body Revolution, and yesterday didn't go the best. I almost face planted trying to go from plank position to my elbows and back to plank. Reading over this next one doesn't seem bad, but I thought that about the other one.

    Hey everyone, I was getting ready to log my Egyptian food, (I randomly stumbled into without trying) and noticed that some people were only logging partial credit. I think as long as you eat one food, that counts. I went back through the thread announcing our destination and this is what I found.

    Roadblock #3 - Is it one Egyptian meal over the course of the week? Or one ingredient per day? per meal?

    I will take ingredient or meal whatever you want to do.
    It doesn't have to be a certain amount of times just an honest try to eat the foods"

    I am taking that to mean, if you eat one thing from the area, on one day, you are done. Do you all agree? I just don't want to see us making this harder then it is.

    @hawkins410, I am glad that you agree. But that is how two people are interrupting her response.

    When I go to work, I have 7 flights of stairs to go up! So there's that twice a day, 5 days a week!

    Hi Everyone
    I've been swamped with work but trying to catch up. I've been keeping a post-it not on my desk and tallying (or trying to remember to tally) everytime I go up the stairs. Yesterday was a busy day. Today I had meetings all afternoon, and tomorrow and Thursday our students are doing their mandated state testing - so not as busy. I'm pretty sure I've lost track a few times, but I'm already at 41 flights, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'll do all the videos on my Friday rest day.

    That was also how I interpreted it. So I've been eating grapes. And yesterday I had hummus (saw that when I searched wikipedia). I typically plan out my meals for an entire week, and do my grocery shopping over the weekend. So I'm doing the best I can as I just really don't have the time to make another trip to the grocery store once the work week starts.

    I've never used the stair stepper, but I think at the end of the workout it gives you a summary which includes the number of flights of stairs. But maybe that depends on the specific machine.
