******TO COMPLETE CHALLENGE #2:*****
1.) SIMPLY CHOOSE ONE OF THE THIRTEEN ABOVE CHALLENGES- Transylvania's stairs climbing
2.) DO IT- DONE
3.) POST ON YOUR THREAD WHICH ONE YOU DID- Transylvania's stairs climbing
4.) STATE WHY YOU CHOSE THE ONE YOU DID!- I enjoy doing the stairs, gives me a sense of accomplishment, makes me sweat, burns a lot of calories and keeps me ready to hike mountains through the winter!
5.) PUT 10 POINTS IN THE APPROPRIATE CHALLENGE BOX- done1 -
8 Lifestyle choices to continue:
1. Log EVERYTHING
2. Log accurately, weighing, measuring etc
3. 10,000 Steps. This one is tough for me but I've found a way to get it daily and it really helps!
4. Eating more protein. Another hard one but it really keeps me full longer and helps with my weight loss
5. Water, water, water. I slack sometimes and have to remind myself that my body needs this water to function properly
6. Say no to eating out. Oh my gosh, the calories and sodium, and I always end up saying "I could have made that and it would have tasted so much better and more fresh for half the price!" We have really cut down on eating out and it helps weight wise and money wise.
7. Exercise daily even if it's just 5 minutes of yoga, it's the habit, keeping it going, that counts some days.
8. Focus more on health and less on that scale. With a healthy eating and moving, the scale will move, but that scale can play a real mind game.
New to try:
Work on my emotional eating and my sweet tooth. If I'm upset I tend to reach for comfort food. It goes back a long time and I have to remember that my life isn't like it was. Sure there are bumps but I have ppl arond me who love and support me now. I don't need food for that anymore. I also want to work on replacing my calorie high sweets with lower calorie ones. (Ex:Instead of chocolate chip cookies, have some yogurt covered bananas instead or some yogurt with a few choc chips.) But also know that a little is ok. Moderation. I also want to do more latin dancing, I love it but don't do it nearly enough!2 -

I completed the Transylvania's stairs, the reason why I did it was I love the burn you achieve from it. This spring, I want to star running again.

I completed challenge #2 todayKAUAI, HAWAII:
“HIKING THE NA PALI COAST”. It sure didn't feel like Hawaii this morning. 23 degrees (real feel of 13) but I made it 4 miles outside. There's nothing like exercising outside!
I sure have noticed as it gets colder outside my exercise numbers are going down. No 5 to 8 hours on a mountain, no 20-30 mile bike rides, no walking along the parkway. It is so much easier being outside, so much to see, scenery, wildlife, random friendly people......it really is a lot harder (for me) to put in the same amount of time indoors. This really does need to be a priority to me this winter! I do not like the cold and I have a compromised immune system. I really need to not be outside when it is so cold. Hoping for some nice days this winter

******TO COMPLETE CHALLENGE #2:*****
1.) SIMPLY CHOOSE ONE OF THE THIRTEEN ABOVE CHALLENGES- Love the dancing so did some Twisting in Transylvania, jamming in Kauai and Peruvian gigging
2.) DO IT- DONE
3.) POST ON YOUR THREAD WHICH ONE YOU DID- All three listed above
4.) STATE WHY YOU CHOSE THE ONE YOU DID!- I love jigging around the lounge with no-one watching/laughing at me. I know I looked nothing like the dancers in Thriller but it was great having a go - the chilling music of Muva was uplifting and the dances from Peru reminded me of my Zumba classes.

Just realize that the Transylvania stairs is not 127 flights of stairs - it is 770 stairs up which is slightly less s(about 60 flights up) and you don't have to come back down 1 -
Stair update for challenge 2 :
560/1778
My goal is to get in 11 flights(14 stairs up and 14 down) each day to finish this challenge.1 -
Challenge 2.
I went back and completed the Rockettes Training workout. That week I had a lot of things going on, it just piled on one after another, and I never got to do the workout. I was really looking forward to it so I chose it for this challenge so I got a chance to do it now Done! 1 -

Alisa, my mistake, lol. I did the stairs today for 35 mins instead of 20 mins. Plus tomorrow my goal is to get another 30 mins in. So I'm sure I completed the challenge since I counted up and down,

Yes, I was just saying you are probably doing too many, but no big deal because you get to count all the minutes anyway! 0

8 lifestyle choices to continue
1. Move when I can

8. Try a new recipe at least every 2 weeks to keep our healthy diet interesting.

Abs workout done - these were not bad - I hate strength exercises but here were ok and feel pleased with myself0

I choose Transylvania/Climb to meet the Count. Having 17 stairs in my house makes it a very accessible challenge. I think I'll continue that each week and see what kind of results I get

I'm hoping to do this with our whole school at the festival. Love it - it's a great way to start the day.0 -
