Can someone please add 20 more minutes for me for today?0

Oh no! Could it have been the battery? Mine died once and I had to climb in through a window. Really sucks. Sorry you had to deal with that. I hope tonight goes better for you. Maybe some nice and easy yoga will be worth doing to get minutes in and relax your tension.
No unfortunately not the battery - though replacement would have costed me like 60SGD and the new mechanical costs like 100SGD. Battery should be replaced every half year.. and a new digital one costs around 700-800SGD...RaeBeeBaby wrote: »Goes to show how old fashioned I am. I had no idea there were digital locks on apartments! I thought they just used those in hotels. Something to be said for good old lock and key. At least you can hide an extra key under a rock or stashed in your car.
Don't worry - before moving here I thought that too... well - a digital on is nice but also - if it fails - rather costly...
To the challenges:
Done all challenges:
No late night sacking: Mo-Fr (and SAT+Sun as well)
Dance videos: done last night... Well just shows that dancing after video is.. well not my talent
Stairs:
2x 196 steps - to 11th floor
1x 286 steps - to 16th floor
1x 10 steps (halfway from 11th to 12th floor )
3x 29 steps - Mo-Wed at work
Need to get more exercise minutes but I know the upcoming week will be difficult. I'll be off to Taiwan for customer visits from Wednesday on. Trying to squeeze my weights and sport shoes into my cabin baggage
Aside from that - great job you're all doing!3 -

I've got 90 more minutes to add for today. Rainy walk along the riverfront. Grandkids are coming tonight for trick-or-treat, so I had to get the goodies ready. I think I can actually have a little candy with them since I've met the late night snacking challenge already!3

Holy Walkamolie! We're ahead of Team 1 by only 5 points! Yikes!2

Adding 20 minutes to the currently posted 42 for 62 total for you for today! Hope that's right and someone didn't already add the 20 minutes...
Good to see @KatKat1209 posting! Good luck with the presentation this week! You'll crush it!
I just did an extra 30 minutes on the gazelle and updated the spreadsheet - will do a few planks, but that's only going to be like an extra 3 minutes or so. We're ahead by 5 points, but Team 1 still has some minutes to post (and they waited until near the end last time too).
We have 20 more points for minutes, but they still have more challenge points logged. Those really are critical again this week. I believe in the Fab Fives!! We can win this!
ETA: and as I was typing, Team 1 pulled ahead by 5 points...argh!!! What a nail biter...even closer than last week!!
EETA: Updated stats for today: 30 October - 120 min Gazelle; 103 min Deep Cleaning House; 3 min Planks = 226 minutes4 -
Hi all... sorry I am late. Got in the challenge points for no late snacking, that was hard but I did it! Also added fri, sat and sunday! When I logged, 50 minutes until spreadsheet closes and we are 10 points ahead!!! Crossing my fingers 6

After a Google Sheet crash, the Week Three Destination is up and running!
Happy Racing & Happy Halloween!3 -
Did the first 2 Rajio Taiso videos.
Also got in another 15 minutes. So 21 minutes so far today. I'll update the spreadsheet at the end of the day. Got some exercise planned for later.
Go Team 5! Yay!5 -

Wow, team 5, just stopping over from team 1 to say you waged an epic battle this week. Congratulations! I'm so impressed with all you minutes!!! And now it's a new week and it's on!!

Congrats Fab Fivers!! We worked hard and made it to the top for this week!!
We still get to keep fighting to move into first place for the over all race...but we'll take it one leg at a time!
Onward to Japan!
Worth Noting - All Challenges are Multi-Day challenges, so you may want to start them today to give yourself the most opportunity to complete them! Two specifically are 5 of 7 day challenges and the squat challenge is recommended to be broken up into more than one day.
Also, challenge points are going to be critical since it will now take 540 minutes to just get 10 points from exercising this week. We still had a few challenge minutes left last week. 525 is the max challenge points. Know that with focus we can get them all this week!
You are all...

OOPS! Somebody (hawkins410), forgot to post that the spreadsheet was back up last night...it's back up!3

It's a new week!
This morning I took some time off from work and got right to challenges!
Watched all 20 minutes of videos while riding my bike and did the morning stretches. Plan to do squats while I get some housework done...3 -
Hi all just jumping over from Team 1 to say Congrats Team 5 with the winning of this week.
Thanks for giving us competition but I promise we go for it again in week 3 have much fun.

Couldn't make it out of bed at 4a.m. today (my normal workout time) & had a medical procedure. I may not be able to get any minutes today. If all is well, I'll try to crank it out during the rest of the week. I haven't even had time to read about our next destination, grrr!
Work hard Fabs, we can't lose this momentum!
WE'VE GOT THIS!

Went for a run this morning, and then walked to my appointment instead of driving (it was only 12 minutes, I thought it would take a lot longer - that's the benefit of living in a smaller place
). So, off to a good start. I just read the challenges this morning, I will make sure to start the stretching ones tonight!
@My_Butt - I feel like the food challenge was made for me this week! I had already planned to do this, but now there is extra incentive!2 -

@MiamiSeoul - rest up and feel better soon! This is a team event and the rest of us will just have to pick it up. You take the time to heal!
Definitely read up on the destination when you get a chance since the challenges are multi-day. Good to know going into the rest of the week what is needed.

Hey team, great job!! Work has been crazy busy for me today, so haven't had much chance to get over here and congratulate you all on a job well done! I'm sure this will be extra incentive for Team 1 to come back, but it was a true team effort to win that week!
Food challenge won't be a problem for me this week, after overindulging this weekend, I am committed to getting back on track.
Squats... I will most likely do this today and finish up tomorrow if need be. I think if I have a couple of hours in between "sets", that I can knock it out pretty quickly.
Videos 5 of 7 days... Grrr, not that I mind doing these, but I like to set aside time to do the videos when it doesn't interfere with my normal workout plans. I'll just have to try and fit them in as a "warm up" for my normal workouts and see if that works. Challenge points are too important not to do it, just wish it wasn't required to spread it out.
@MiamiSeoul -- hope you're back on your feet soon!
Oh, BTW, for you first-timers... one of the reasons that June @summerfun2016 and I are co-captains is that we thought with such a global team that it would be good to have someone outside the Americas in case one of us needed to be reached during when the other is sleeping, so if you do need to reach out to one of us, I am usually snoozing from about 11 pm (I wish) until 5:30 am during the week and a little later on the weekends. June is in the UK and about 5 or 6 hours ahead of me. There hasn't been an issue, but just wanted to give you that FYI...
Happy Monday and Happy Halloween!4 -
LOL...seems that each week, one of the challenges causes a grrr
reaction in one or more of us. Know you'll step up Rus, because as you said, challenge points are going to be crucial this week!
I am actually okay with the challenges this week...though I am not a huge fan of multi-day videos, since I like to knock that type of stuff out once too, but I'm kind of okay with it. Maybe it's more that I'm relieved the food challenge is something I do anyway or glad that we don't have a yoga challenge (was thinking we'd be in India this week). The nice thing was that I was already thinking I needed more squats in my workouts - trying to get a better land based paddleboarding workout together, so was already going to add some this week. This gives me more motivation for it.3 -
Monday 247 minutes
I am determined to get onto that leader board by the end of this week.6
