Just started the stair challenge. I have 4 steps to my front door so did a lot of repeats to get to 240. At least I'm on my way.3

Since my baby is sleeping (and no one else if home), I got all my dancing out of the way (LOL) - Ill head up to the local university tonight and do stadiums for the stair challenge! As for no dessert... does wine count??3
-
@mckeon11: I think we can still have dessert (& wine) but I think the challenge is no night time snacking. I often snack on popcorn after 8:00, so none of that for 5 days.
I personally gave up wine, for the week, just to see if it would make a difference & kick start some weight loss.4 -
@xxghost we appreciate it! And I commend your motivationHey Fours!
I managed to get a gnarly sliver in that tender spot between my toe and my foot, so my exercise might suffer a bit. But I am going to still get to the gym for some weights tonight, if nothing else. I can't bring myself to log zeroes on you all.
You're awesome!!

I am working hard on the stairs. I am at 492. It is really hard. Whole I was at work I went upstairs a couple of times just so I could count the stairs. Whoever said the keeping part was the hardest part of the stairs was right. I did the dance challenges I liked the one with the monsters Woman with purple shirt. I watched a couple yesterday while doing my fitness hula hoop. I tried it again but it just hurt to hoop. Anyone else hoop?? You have to toughen up to beable to do it a couple of days in a roll.4

Team, I have some logging to catch up on. I will get it done soon. I played my first golf game today. That was fun. My legs are sore, and I bet my arms will be so tomorrow.2

I'm not going to have time for a workout today
I'm actually really bummed about it. I could have gotten up early to go for a quick run but my children woke me up around 1am and I just knew I needed the sleep if I'm to get through everything else I have to do today. I plan to at least watch the scenic videos while walking around, so that will give me 10 minutes, right? That sounds so pitiful but I think every little bit helps... 3 -
HI all! Grey, rainy, yucky day here, so I went to the gym before work.
I did another 5 minutes or 250 steps on the stair climber this morning. It is probably easier than actual steps, because I can hold on, so I am doing extra. I then ran for 35 minutes on the boring treadmill. I will do some store/home walking this afternoon to keep warm & for some extra minutes.
@carinamenina 10 minutes is definitely better than nothing!
@xxghost : hope your toe/foot is better!
Good job everyone on working on those stairs. I know it is hard!

Broke 138 this morning. I am so excited. I was listening to a ted talk about the importance about sleep. So the break down on how he explained it is that your brain needs toxic cleaning daily. Brain is like a form of a sponge. This fluid has to go through to flush out the garbage. It can only do it when pores of brain are open which is while you are sleeping. While you are awake fluid runs off and cant clean. There are many times I like to fall asleep on couch and then hit the bed about 1-2:00. I sleep really sound on couch but TV is on and then I fall right back to sleep when I quietly get into bed. (no snacks) Last night I went to bed at 11 woke up what felt like every hour. My clock doesn't have a light and to lazy to look at fitbit. So my question is about interrupted sleep. I am going to try to retrain body to get to bed at a better time. This is really hard because I toss and turn for what feels like hours while husband is sleeping away. TV and warm blanket and I am out before a movie starts. Have there been studies on us TV people? 2 -
I sent my question off to the Jillian Michaels podcast. I will let you know if she replies2
-
I've heard that the best quality sleep is without any electronics in the room, particularly without tv running in the background. Don't know if there's any science to this, however.1
-
This is my question, With the TV I fall asleep. Without I hear every creek in the house. We live in a farm house1

I have found lately that the only way I sleep very well is with ear plugs. My house is not noisy. DH snores, but like you he is a couch/TV sleeper that has learned (the hard way) to not come into bed after 12:00 if he has fallen asleep. When he comes to bed on a regular basis he feels much more rested and more cheerful.
Here is an article on why it is bad for you though.

So if I turn off my computer and lay down to watch movie with DH at 8 or 9, I am out by 9:01 then by what this website says "One hour slept between 9 pm and 12 pm equals three hours’ rest" I got a good 9 hours rest in. BTW If I am driving and I stop at a rest stop and close my eyes for 15 min. I am good to go again.0

At 540 steps. Should finish the rest tomorrow.4

Team, I worked on my stair challenge today. Just 110 steps more to go. I won't make it to the lighthouse but that is ok. I had to get my flu shot today. And my body feels tired. Not too mention yesterday was more active than usual for me. I will finish the videos tomorrow am before I head to work and get those stairs in. Going to eat dinner and head to bed.2
