    15 mins total, and 185 calories burned. SWEET! :bigsmile: Now my legs are shaky and I still have to do the Shred!! :noway:

    I guess your dream came true! Great Burn!

    According to mypyramid.gov, beans are a veggie. I didnt know this, I guess we learn something new everyday

    ok... I did the stairmaster...since it is 2 floors for 1 flight of stairs... it's not 96 for me... it's 48 for me. :wink: I only did ONE serving of veggie's... I will do better tomorrow with that.

    That's an Amazing workout! You surpassed the fitness goal in 1 day! Now, you can focus on your F/V's. Enjoy!

    With the calculations at the start of the challenge, I realize that I have to go up and down the stairs 10 times to equal 5 flights. I definitely did that today while doing laundry. Does that count? It wasn't "formal" like me doing it consistently. I don't want to "cheat" if that's not what you meant and doing laundry doesn't count as walking flights of stairs. I think I should considering its harder because I'm carrying a basket of loads. Anyway, just let me know if its breaking the rules or not. If it is, I'll change it back to 0.

    Yeah!!! A non-weight challenge, just my type. Otherwise I restrict, restrict, restrict then BINGE... UGH

    I'm counting the flights of stairs I climb at work or take at the subway. Guess this means I need to stop taking the escalator. ;-)

    The flights of stairs I climb everyday have only 16 and 18 stairs apiece. I'm more concerned with the # of stairs than the # of flights. My Total Flights should be more than 35, but I didn't want to do the math. :tongue:

    Loving this week's challenge - the flights of stairs are forcing me to get off my butt to go down/up stairs all day long to get more water:) I usually say 'I don't have enough time to walk all the way through the building to get the good water';)

    TUES – # of Stairs: 140 (10 flights at home ~ F/V: too many to count! probably 10, mostly veggies kind of day

    TeamLeela~The challenge is to walk up the stairs. So going down them doesnt count. It doesnt matter what you're doing, as long as you're walking upstairs, it counts. So, keep doing that laundry girl :smile:

    Amy72015 & brandiea211~Welcome! :flowerforyou:

    Reba971-Glad you’re feeling better. Hope you get back to eating normal soon.
