@junodog1, I love this challenge, too!
And I'd pay to climb this bridge!
Of course, people have used "crazy" when describing me in the past...5 -
Goodmorning sweet peeps
@mamaelf sorry sis I can't give you advise in this one probably i'm to "cold" and to realistic in this.I can't replace myself in a dogowner who live 14 years with a pet who is getting so close.As I sayed earlier I only had a rabbit who get cancer and I can took him longer with me with meds but I didn't, the knowing that this little one had 1 minute of pain only for my pleasure I can not live with that idea but that is me and a rabbit is something else like a dog so I wish you all the wisdom and hugs you needed.
I see team 4 is ahead of us as also team 5 we have a saying in dutch "hardlopers zijn doodlopers" literarry translated " fast walkers are dead walkers" I don't know if you know it but it means with everything you starts fast you end very slow and worse So i'm so happy that we are slow starters in the good way :-) we extend our energy over the whole week so I think we a re a smart bunch of people.
So keep it up peeps and have a great Tuesday,

Laundry day gave me 388 stairs but no minutes. I need to add yesterday's minutes to the spreadsheet. Off to golf in a bit so that's always good for quite a few. I was under yesterday and just need to do the balance video on my more time.
Hope tamika is ok @mamaelf!1 -
So sorry I've been MIA today after our second leg win and so much on the thread! Totally working long hours with a major project. Just exercising and working! Got home at 8:45pm. I was tempted to skip my lunch work out, but I'm glad I didn't.
@katharmonic
@mts7471 are you clear on the steps/stairs? Usually our challenges are about 650-800 steps and we just count the ups. But with so many 1332, you can count the steps when you are going down too (Like the downside of the bridge) . Some people find it easier to count flights of stairs instead of each step, so a good reference is there are 12 steps in a flight of stairs. If you go up and down 111 flight of stairs you made it!
Other than @ka97 is there anyone who would actually pay money and is crazy enough to do that bridge climb? @hawkins410 did you do it? I ride chair lifts and will climb fire towers, but not that Bridge!!!
The only way on earth I would do it is if I was granted the bribe that after doing it I could eat anything I wanted for the rest of my life and not gain an ounce!! 
@Mamaelf2007 Hugs and Love. Most of us have been there and it is a very tough spot. We used a kid's winter sled to move our our first black lab around when the going got rough. Just take it a day at a time.
At my house I have 12 stairs up and down. I did 20 times yesterday and that puts me at 2220. Is that correct?0 -
If you went up 12 steps and then down 12 steps, that is a total of 24 steps. If you did this 20 times, that would be 20 x 24 = 480 steps.At my house I have 12 stairs up and down. I did 20 times yesterday and that puts me at 2220. Is that correct?
Sounds like you are making great progress!
@120maggie: I think I forgot to mention the Amazing Race Committee has already paid the $200 fee for the bridge climb for each of you!
I have never been there, but I have a friend that just did it and said it was awesome!! You're buckled on, so the worse that can happen is a little free fall/bungee jump!
HAPPY TUESDEE MATES!

Just spent the whole morning at the vet. Happy to see Tamika is walking on her own now and looks a lot happier. Now to get a few things straightened out and then it's video time.10

I didn't say yesterday but I have jury duty this week and I was assigned to a trial that will probably take the entire week. So that's a little extra sedentary time. Even though I work in an office I have more freedom to move around. Here all we do is move from the jury box to back to the secret little Jury Room and then back to the jury box. The good news is I have to use the parking garage and there's eight floors in the parking garage. I think I'm more than halfway through my stairs already.5

balance video done 1 time. LS workout dvd. then back to do the balance video for the second time5

Climb, Climb, Climb! You can do it!!!
It is nearly 70 degrees here today, and it is driving me crazy being cooped up in my office. I'm itching for an excuse to go out and play. Definitely planning to leave work in time to get a good walk in before it gets dark outside! The warm won't last long though, there is snow in the forecast for Thursday morning.3 -
On jury duty in a trial all day today. Ugh. 0 mins logged. On dinner break when I leave it will probably be over 12 hours I am ready to go home0
-
@TamiJo1004 and @junodog1....you are BOTH on Jury Duty?!
I guess I better take @celtikgirl's advice and "CLIMB!!" (I've been working on it, but it's a slow process).
@mamaelf2008: Nice to hear the good news about Tamika! 4 -
Here's the view from the top of my 8-story parking garage step machine! It's even nicer than it looks - the lake is beautiful. It was 80 and breezy today.
644 stairs to go9 -
@TamiJo1004 @junodog1 I'm pushing myself to get 100min just for you!!! I will keep trying to get 100 the rest of the week (if not more) to help you out. I only got 1 round of the balance video done. My abs felt it the first time around so I thought I'd wait till tomorrow to finish them.
You all are doing a fantastic job!!!!
@junodog1 beautiful view. Your step machine is awesome.
Keep up all the good work4 -

OMG I made it to 100+ miles today. Maybe I can do this. I bet you can. I'm betting we all can!

Monday - 480
Tuesday - 480
Beginner balance video done 15 min - one time.
I will finish up second time tomorrow.6 -
Sorry about the jury duty @junodog1 and @TamiJo1004. Doing your civic duty though! Way to get those stairs in and a nice view @junodog1!
@celtikgirl 70 degrees sounds so dreamy right about now. Hope you got a nice walk in. It was cold and rainy here today. Blah.
I packed my running clothes to get to the gym over lunch today but I didn't really have enough time. So I did some yoga and the first time through of the balance video in my office (with a do not disturb sign firmly attached to the door). I also took a couple of loops around the building but my step count was pathetic today as I didn't run or walk Stella - too rainy. Stella went to day care so she was properly worn out. I did another 60 minutes of power yoga - total body workout - tonight. My core is feeling it!
25% of stairs done, 50% of balance videos, and 40% (2/5) days under calories so far. Given that we are 29% of the way through the week, seems mostly on track. Those stairs though...

HAPPY HUMP DAY MATES! 6 -
I'm halfway through the stairs (good thing I live in a tall house!), halfway through balance, 2 days under but low minutes this week. I'm heading to the gym in a few and will finish the stairs, get my spin on and do the balance video when I get home.
Good job on jury duty folks! Keep up the good work team1!1 -
Just hit the 800 mark of steps. I should be done by Friday if not tomorrow. Walked at my break time at work to get extra miles in for our other teammates who are unable to fully participate due to "life" getting in the way.
I must say Team 1 has so much teamwork where everyone pulls extra miles to help out the other teammates. No other team is like this one!! Very proud and honored to be on Team 1!!!
We got this!!!6 -
okay my people i have done all i can for now -i'll complete the calorie challenge by Saturday as today is a bust, but the videos and stairs are done!! woohoo! i can safely say i have no balance and who knew that nodding your head while stood on one leg was so difficult?? Great challenge!!2

I found the same to be true of me too. I have no balance!!! Looked easy until you actually did it!! And the one your laying on the big ball--well lets just say I almost went face first into the floor if it weren't for my hand being by a close chair! Omg what a sight!!2 -
I found the perfect staircase for the steps challenge, and it's even at Bondi Beach in Austrailia!

I Googled it. So very cool.2 -
Got my 2nd balance video done and am up to 950 with steps so I'll finish them tomorrow definetely. Wasn't thinking I'm my right mind when I chose my workout tonight. After the balance video I did a belly blasting 2 mile workout. Needless to say my abs are not happy with me right now. Will have to do treadmill later to get my miles up!3

Beautiful scenery1 -
I got caught up! You guys are doing awesome! I returned home in the middle of the night to be awakened by a frightened 3 year old at 4 am wanting mommy! (Mommy was not home when he went to sleep. Plus separation issues.) Called my boss and didn't go into until almost noon and was able to snag a few hours more sleep after I got kids off. Which put me up to a total of like 4. I was then somewhat functional. My back is killing me today! (If your forced to sit in a chair All day it should be a recliner! Not a wooden jury chair! Also it was partially my fault I ate waffle fries yesterday at lunch and became bloated. I wiggled and tried to find a comfortable position in the chair yesterday.) Resulting in back pain today. I, however, tired and hurting will attempt stairs. I am not going to try balance video. My exercise minutes are still not ideal today. I will make that up too. I also may not be able to close my diary from not eating enough. I am not hungry!1
