    Bright smiles coming your way from a member of Team Fab Five:

    As I sit here in my recliner, listening to Nightcore music, sipping my caramel coffee, and reading a My Little Pony Halloween Comicfest book, I look forward to next weekend.
    That weekend is our annual Akron Comic Con. It'll be in its 5th year, and I have gone to every single one. It had to be moved to a bigger venue, and now goes for two days since it's been such a success.

    I was thinking about cosplaying for this one and it got me thinking of all the costumes I have planned. I have so much fun dressing up and escaping into fiction for a day. The people I have met that also cosplay have been so kind when asked about how they made something, or for tips or ideas. This bunch is genuinely happy about their passion.

    If you're a cosplayer, I advise you to enter a contest at a convention. It's fun walking around and having people ask for your photo, but getting the chance to have the spotlight on you, even if you don't win, is the best feeling in the world. You worked hard on your outfit, let everybody see it.

    Smile everyday, laugh with friends, and enjoy life. Forget what you don't have and appreciate what you do.

    Happy Hallows Eve!
    Wishing you all good health and happiness.

    1000 minutes is really tough to do.

    After my 2nd 3 hour workout this weekend.. I still have 53 minutes left to hit 1000.

    I'll do a 20 minute walk with the dogs... but that still leaves 33 mins and I am bagged.

    Hmmmm ....

    Does a hot bath count?

    How about a steam shower?

    I'm sure my wife will have a chore or two for me if I open that door just a Crack.

    I'm hoping Korea or Japan. Those cultures are super interesting to learn about.

    I'm going to guess India.

    I finished the video challenge - 2 x each. I think I have the monster arms down pat. But it's the pelvic thrust, that really drives you insane.

    With that, plus cleaning the house while I danced around, and then yoga as well - I'm now at 185 minutes for today.

    We are currently back in second place. We definitely need all of our challenge points, and they still have more missing than we do, so this is a very tough battle. They have a number of people at or approaching 1000 pts too.

    I will go for some Belgium waffles!!!
    Bye Vampires! I agree @mts7471 though it has been fun in Romania.
    The 1000 minutes is a killer. I am there but oh and I am tired not to mention my shoulder isn't progressing as quickly as I would like

    I just posted my measly 30 minutes for today and it appears we are in first place with only one missing challenge square. Unfortunately, team 5 has quite a few open squares. Well done though everybody! I'm really proud of our participation and commitment this week and if we don't maintain that lead we put a crap ton of effort in! I'm sorry I got sick and couldn't get more minutes the past two days.

    @cardbucfan You can't help that you were sick. We will all have those days and weeks.
    We put in a ton of effort this week! We have an awesome group. If Team 5 comes out ahead it's because they put in ridiculous minutes and I am betting after a few weeks they will start getting burnt out and tired. We however, will just keep pressing forward.

    Busy day for me. Cooking, cleaning, baking and raking leaves. Plus a walk and some stretching and light weights. This girl is tired and going to sit with my feet up and a heating pad. Sorry guys no more from me today.
    Bub bye vampires!!

    Tired!!! Went to the ropes course today :D:D:D There was one element that I could not do the last time, but I finished it today. I didn't exactly do it correctly, but I got across. I had a great time, but now that the adrenaline rush has worn off - I'm wiped!
    I have a video, but can't figure out how to post it. Sue has some pictures; I'll try to share them soon.

    I sucked it up and did 2 hours of house maintenance, much of it with a ladder. I added only 45 minutes to the spreadsheet but that put me over the 1,000 minutes.

    I don't think I can commit to that again. This was really really tough.

    My weight went up/stayed level all week on the scale, but my % body fat dropped like a stone.

    Good-bye, vampires. Looking forward to our next stop.

    As a warning... I will not log any minutes on Tuesday this week. I have a 14-hour car ride.... ugg hh.

    Next week might be a little soft on minutes.

    Tomorrow may be a slow day for me with Halloween festivities. Unless I can count trick or treating?!? A very hyper 12 year old leading the pack with a almost 3 year old (who's almost 40 lbs) that I am sure I will be battling half the time followed by the almost 9 year old moseying along behind! Get the mental picture! It should be a workout of epic proportions!! The hub will be at work for at least the first part. So all this by myself! I might need to find a bar tomorrow night on the route!

    The 1000 minutes was quite the challenge and maybe a little too much but it did give us an extra push to strive for. On that note how about we set ourself with a goal we think we can reach for the week by setting a goal and telling the other team members we are accountable therefore giving us something to strive for. I am going to try to have over 750 minutes this next week.
    We have to stay pumped up! Team 5 isn't going to hand it to us!

    @mamaelf2008 great job with the 5k! Be proud of your accomplishment and the cause you walked for. I liked your teammates hair, matches the outfit and cause. I have my exercise planned out for tomorrow and Don is going to be home to pass out Halloween candy, that way I can go to the gym tomorrow night after work and get in an hour

    I was going to commit to another 1,000, but I just dove/tripped trying to catch my dog. Went down hard. Have cuts on toes , knee, elbow, and fingers. I also think I've broken a toe in the process. This sucks. I've had motorcycle crashes that did less damage.
