It amazes me how some pop culture things have endured over the years. I went to the first Star Wars movie for a friend's 12th birthday party, and my five year old grandsons are just as fascinated by the same movie and characters today. I see the same in music. A few weeks ago I was at a festival where an 80's cover band was playing. The band launched into a Journey song and a dozen little eight years olds ran out in front of the stage to dance and sing along.
Guess you're really only as young, or as old as you feel!
Some days My body feels old but other days It feels young!!! But in my mind I'm always young!! I think it keeps you going strong to think that way!!

Talking about nostalgia I was talking to my daughter who's getting married next month. I asked her what kind of music was going to be playing. Both of them live the 70's and 80's!!! She's 26 and he's 31. I guess we raised them right to like good music. Then she called them the 'oldies' pfft they aren't that old to me!! Hahahaa5

@celtikgirl and @mamaelf2008, well said! My dad is 88 and he won't let anyone do anything for him that he can do himself. That includes pumping gas, planting flowers, driving, grocery shopping, etc.
I think those of us over 50 can take on these young whippersnappers!

Yes, this is me too - just about to turn 48. So for most of 1975 I was just 6 years old. I don't think I saw Rocky Horror until I was in college. We didn't do things like that in my little town 70s and 80s music is my thing for sure. I have a ton of it on my running play list and constantly listen to those stations on Sirius XM.
I'm impressed with you guys getting steps done already! I barely cracked 40 stairs up today so far. I'm going to have to make a concentrated effort to seek out steps as they aren't part of my normal daily routine.
Today I did a 30 minute walk with Stella in the morning, then after work I decided to attempt running with her using her new front-clip harness. She did pretty well! I was impressed. Only a little bit of crossing over in front of me. We got in 26 minutes of running and then I walked for 20 more minutes to let her do her business and goof around a bit more.3 -
Wow....so much to catch up on!
Congrats on an outstanding week one everybody!!!!
1975.....ummm that was the year I was born
@celtikgirl congrats on the race!!!!! I must admit, I'm so jealous!
Week 2 - dancing - oh joy!
I should have peeked at the thread this morning, didn't count any stairs. Will have to get out a sticky note tomorrow to keep track. So glad I'm out of that ortho boot!
I managed 30 minutes on the spin bike after lifting today, so I'm going to try a spin class tomorrow.2 -
It was early 80's and a guy I was dating was horrified that I had never heard of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Apparently it was not the thing in upstate NY. We went to the midnight showing in the former hippie neighborhood in Cleveland. Silly me, I thought I was going to be able to hear the dialogue and follow the plot over the crowd "actvities" toast, squirt guns, dancing etc. I've tried to get my girls introduced to it, but they just don't get it!
Got Challenge 1 done early this morning. I prefer to do my Monster Mashing and twisting with pumpkins in private! About 1/4 of the way done with the steps.

Your overachiever you!!! So glad you are on team one!5 -
Sorry for the short exercise today Team 1! Only did a 30 minute walk and started on the stairs. I was still pretty exhausted from moving furniture yesterday and the day before. Hitting the hay early tonight to be ready to go tomorrow. Hope everyone has a wonderful night.3
-
@MissionEnforcer did 5 videos each 2 times. I may just do a couple of them again just cuz I love Halloween music. I'm up to 520 stairs climbed. I will definitely finish the challenge tomorrow for that.
So here's a thought team...If we can knock out the challenges right away in the beginning of the week and get to our destination early we can really rack up some miles after that. So far Team 5 is way ahead of us in miles. Do you think it is possible to catch up in miles to them?? Can we pull together as a TEAM and knock out these challenges early on so we can gain miles??
I think we can if we try really hard.
Hey young'uns don't let us OLD FARTS show you up by doing more than you guys!!
hahahahaaa REMEMBER this bantar is all in fun!!!!3 -
I am exhausted! Boy did I burn some calories today! Have a goodnight!2

Only a little over an hour today, muscles are a little sore, but I don't feel too bad. Got out of the house for a short walk, did stretches while watching the Romania videos, and went through the dance videos one time. Thank goodness my room is on the opposite side of the house from my parents, and concrete slabs don't bounce like my floor at home! Going to the beach tomorrow so I will get some walking done there, don't know about swimming, might just ogle the surfers. Then it's back north to Baltimore tomorrow evening.3

Where was I in 1975? I was 6 living in Phx,Az. Starting kindergarten.
In 1987, My husband well boyfriend at the time introduced me to the Rocky Horror Picture show that had midnight showing Saturday nights at university theater in Tempe,Az with the drama dept from ASU acting out the parts in the aisles. It was awesome we went a few times as it was so much fun.
Completed the videos, I couldnt play one more of them so had to find on YouTube. I will do the RHPS one a few times just brought back so many fun memories.
I have 2 stairs going out to garage so only got in about 40 today will tackle again so more. Snacking won't be an issue we don't eat after dinner normally unless special occasion. Try to stay away from sweets and snacks. I don't know how to stop at small. So don't do it at all
Congrats team for getting first place last week that was a close one. Yikes right on our heels. I Need to get more in this week myself since not so busy this week.3 -
Good Morning team!!!!
Congrats everyone on an awesome week!!! You all rock!!!
Where was I in'75? Not born, that would happen in '79. I have never seen Rocky live, but have watched the movie several times. I also watch the remake last week.
Didn't get any minutes yesterday but I am working on the stair challenge. I have lots of steps in my building and I have to use them fairly often. I think I have about 144 steps done.
Will get some minutes in tonight in the form or the videos.
Have a great day all!!!3 -
Good morning!!!
My glutes are pretty sore this morning, but nothing I can't handle.
I've only seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show once, and that was last year out of curiosity. I was only born in 1987, and my parents weren't into it, so I didn't have any exposure lol. It may be time to watch it again.
I'm hoping to get the dancing done tonight, but I'm going to see The Girl on the Train with some friends. May be able to squeeze a couple in before I go.1 -
Sorry team for let you all down today I'm so sad I gained 3.6lbs!!!! last week it is not TOM time I believe it is also not water because I run to the bathroom a lot and producing muscles in 1 week I don't believe in that either.
So I am crumpy as hell what is also nothing for me because I am really a positive person but today I am really knock out by this and only want to crowl up in bed and feel sorry with myself and that is what I'm doing for today ......really sorry for no excersise min for me today I promise I will make it up with you guys this week.

@wolvinnetje
You know as well as I do that it is all about the trend. 1 data point does not a trend make. You are my rock. I see your speadsheet entry everyday when I put my numbers. Don't let one simple number screw you up.
Ik ben gekomen om te rekenen op u. Ik heb gezien wat je kunt doen. Morgen, opstaan, en laten we gaan samen verder. Ik ben met u op deze. Wouter

@wolvinnetje
Aggie, I am sorry you are down! You are always upbeat and positive to cheer us on. Don't let the gain get you down, you are working hard and it will show.

For those of you who haven't seen Rocky Horror... try to resist until you can see it in the theater.
Rocky Horror is not a TV in the living room type of event. Wouldn't make sense there.
You really have to find a venue. Trust us!3 -
I just convinced my wife to go to Rocky Horror on Friday night at 11:30pm.
I'm guessing Friday night will not be one of my days without eating after dinner. LOL. Good thing I started yesterday.1 -
ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS:
The 10 Points for CHALLENGE #1 IS FOR DOING THE 5 DANCE VIDEOS 2x EACH.
Not for watching the 2 Romanian videos (which you may count as 10 minutes of exercise,
if active while you watch).0
