    I can do 200 extra tomorrow.

    Has anyone done their stair climbers on a stair machine at the gym? Or did you do them on a flight of stairs at home?
    I'm probably making this more complicated than it should be. :)

    I'm probably going to be running up and down the stairs like a tool.

    Does that mean that we have to climb 200 stairs?

    Also guys, I don't know what's up with my body this week but I'm just not losing any weight. I've been working out like a fiend ... which may be the problem. Hopefully my body smartens up before Sunday... grrrr... :explode:

    tomorrow is going to be crazy, I am doing my w3d2 c25k; 50 globe jumps; 100 jumping jacks; and 100 stair climbers.... that is going to be one very crazy day. and that is 50 sets of globe jumps right where 1=4 (so it is more like 200 jumps in a square pattern)

    me too except i'm on w2d3. how is week 3 going for you?

    I did my stair climbs on a stair stepper. Barely took 2 min. And I"m sorry too. I gained a pound! I'm hoping that it equals a loss by sun b/c it is that tom and I have been working out like crazy, Hopefully by drinking a ton of water for the rest of the week I can release some weight. Anyway everyone is doing great. Let's keep it up!

    Jumping jacks and 21s are done. Also discovered that 27 laps around the house equals a mile. The things I'd never know if I didn't have a hyperactive 3 year old... So another mile towards my total so far.

    I'm all done for the day. I have 2 miles left for our group challenge which I plan on doing tomorrow. I went back over my notes and that brings me to 12 miles for the group and not 10. A good mistake for the team! :) I'm having dinner with my sorority sisters tonight. I haven't seen them in ten years. I saved lots of calories.

    Sorry I didn't help out much for the miles this week... Been out of town all week, eating like crap and hardly exercising. I was sooo scared to step on the scale this morning, but when I did, I weighed exactly the same! So I'm busting butt today and tomorrow to try to lose as much as I can before Sunday! Sorry to everyone!!! I pledge not only the crunches for next week but to get back on track with calories!!

    So I can only pledge 200 crunches this week. WIth my regular exercise plan and the challenges I think that's all I can swing without killing myself. Sorry ladies. But let's pull out a win this week and move on to the next win!!
