Day 2 under calories!!

Morning folks.

@jenilla1 way to kill those stairs! The dancing one should be easy as long as no one minds if we have no rhythm. I know I don't have any.

@twinmom_112002 Glad you are feeling better.

@joanna2012 and @lbenson2006 Great job under calories. I did day two yesterday as well.

I am excited about the gym, but won't be able to go until Friday. I thought about going in without the BF, but he would be upset if I didn't go with him at least for the very first time.
Tonight we are putting up the Christmas tree. I am so excited, I love this time of year. Will probably be doing our family baking day in a couple of weeks, and then I will be in trouble.

@lbenson2006 Go to the gym! You will feel better. I don't want to go freeze my butt off outside, but I have stairs to do, and we need you! What kind of captain would you be? (trying to guilt you into going, is it working?)

There now...had decided at a minimum I could walk the treadmill. Did decide that I would do a stair master if they had it...but they don't.

Doh! I have a measly 12 stairs to go up and down. 12...I should have done them at lunch.

Took me 43 minutes on the stairmaster to finish all 127 flights. I wanted to get a nice, round number to log, so I went a few extra flights and made it to 45 minutes. I wasn't sure I would finish because usually that stair machine kills me, but it was surprisingly easy today, so I just went for it! I did get a little sweaty, though. One challenge down, two to go!

You must have inspired me. I did all my stairs yesterday but it was NOT easy i had a cup of coffee in the afternoon and decided I'd do 1/2 the stairs but while doing it I decided I didn't want to do stairs again this week so did all of them.

50 minutes on the treadmill + 10 extra points for watching those music videos... never did like that song. Not a Simon and Garfunkel fan. Also, completed watching / trying my best to follow along with the videos. Pathetic as it was!!! But I did it!!! Going to Hollywood on Saturday to complete the stair challenge. Found a nice hike through a bunch of "secret" stairs that lead you up through the original Hollywood neighborhoods. Can't wait for that!

Hi guys!! getting to check in mid week.
Welcome Mark to the gang. Another SoCal member !!! Woot!!

Team I have a little bad news.. I am not going to be able to get in the stairs this week, I have just way to much going on and family coming to town this weekend for a brief visit. I have no easy access to stairs and no time to adventure to get some in. Sorry guys

I am trying to work in a little exercise during my days. walked the dog this morning cause he was going to drive me to kill him if I did not
Puppy energy!!! Vet tried to tell me my almost 1 year old puppy weighs 96 pounds.. I don't believe them.. ugh!!! he got big to fast..
@twinmom_112002 the joys you get to look forward to!!!

3 days under calories!! @sabreena86 good to see you back at it! @Mark_ looking forward to seeing the pic of those steps! I will have to do the stairs this weekend! I had to let my calves heal from the stairs I did on the weekend!!!
I'll get the videos done before the week is done!!

Tameika - hope you were able to get to the gym last night. If not, you never know, maybe it will be possible to get the stairs down to 3 days. I have stairs at home and at work, so so far I've just been counting my normal routine steps. I will definitely have to get some dedicated stairs walking in though to finish the challenge.

Kim and Jen - great job getting the stairs challenge done so quickly!! That'll give you some sense of relief.

Mark - have fun doing your stairs. Doing them in a place that's more scenic would make it a lot more fun. Post pictures so we can all live vicariously! Lol. For some of us, we are already too cold to even want to go outside. Yuck!! I am not a winter person at all!!

Bri - good luck with the monster pup!! Don't feel bad about not getting the stairs in. There's no way every one of us can get in all the bonus challenges every week, we just do our best. That just gives me more motivation to try to make sure I get all my points to help offset. That's what teamwork is all about. Gives me more incentive to work hard on the nutritional challenge.

Hey, Sabreen!! Good job getting a good chunk of your stairs done. Good luck on the rest.

Jo - I'm 3 for 3 too!! Woohoo!! Was quite shocked I was able to accomplish that yesterday with the darn cookies!!

I didn't get up this morning to workout because I figured I felt too bad. Ended up deciding to stay home all together today. Trying to rest up and hopefully feel better tomorrow. I might have to log a 0 but if I feel a tad better later, I may walk up and down my stairs to get some of them in and get some minutes. I'm thinking that might not be too strenuous if I just walk them. Who knows!!
