    CHALLENGE #2: “Climb To Meet The Count” (10 points)

    This is a Grand Total of 1540 steps you must climb UP this week! :o

    TRICK OR TREAT! :D

    YOU, my fine little ghoulish monsters, only have to climb HALF THAT AMOUNT :)

    770 STAIRS UP = 10 POINTS

    That’s not floors, flights, or steps...it is the AMOUNT OF STAIRS! UP!

    Please use simple math to count and multiply!!

    Stairs = boo! lol. So glad my nana's in a ward on the 5th floor. I should get this done no problem (even if I'll hate every step :smile:)

    Hello Team - I'm so excited to have joined this amazing race and I have so many questions that I will PM Jackie with a list to put me straight.

    So I would like to introduce myself to those of you who haven't met me in other challenges - my name is Rita, 64 years young, married to Malc with a son and daughter who have given us 3 grand daughters between them, aged 11, 8 and 6.

    I live in Kent, in a place known as the Hoo Peninsula. The towns are known as the overspill for London, but the Peninsula is very rural with fields, woods and riverside walks which are loved but my 13 year old Labrador Bruno as well as myself. I work four days a week at our local Council offices but would love to have those days to myself!

    I hate the gym finding the machines very boring but love taking part in exercise classes. Zumba is my all time favourite, but I also like Step, Kettlebells and 20:20:20 (which is a mix of aerobic, step and strength). I struggle with Yoga and Pilates but love nothing more than putting on some upbeat music and prancing around the lounge to get my heart rate and steps up.

    I have always struggled with my weight but now know that as I have gotten older food intake alone cannot control my weight. Regardless of this weight loss is extremely slow, but I have learned to accept this and maybe one day I will get to my all time goal. I do yo-yo but always stop when the scales start to creep too high.

    Hopefully will get a good start this week with a kettlebell and Zumba class straight after work tonight.

    Welcome to the team, @Rigibann! We so appreciate you joining! If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.

    I am a slow loser with weight as well, and I've found tracking my measurements has helped me a lot! When the scale doesn't move, but the tape measure does, I am encouraged to continue on this healthy lifestyle.
    :)

    Welcome Rita! So glad you made it you our team!

    So, my mistake was doing a squat challenge yesterday, the stair challenge this morning and then spent the day hiking! Jacuzzi here I come. My legs are a bit wobbly!

    Hope everyone had a great day today!
