Hi guys! I'm here its just been a crazy busy week. I'm exercising and working on challenges. I have the stairs challenge completed. Will finish the vids hopefully tomorrow and I'm good on my calories.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
Videos done - loved them, great fun. Another 310 steps so nearly there, only 411 left !2

Hey Team Six! Sorry I've been so quiet this week. I took a break from being on my phone so much, and that's how I mainly get on MFP. It was a fun week taking a break from electronics and doing more with my family. I was able to accomplish the challenges. I had a lot of fun doing the videos with my munchkin who liked to add her own moves.
The stairs really kicked my butt, but my family is actually starting to notice the changes in my body and are vocalizing it to me, so that is a great feeling! 
I think I may make a weekly stairs goal from now on, because I really have enjoyed those challenges a lot! Getting in steps is nice, but climbing stairs really works the booty! Hope y'all are having a great Sunday!

Wowee last week already? This has been my favorite challenges!! Hope to do another race!2

Please can I clarify with the Challenge 2 option - when choosing a previous challenge, if the week had two bits do we need to do both or can this be just one - for example, Transylvania's two parts were a climbing and a twisting challenge - would we need to do both?

Challenge 2:
I think I'm going to pick one of the stair ones since those were my favorite, and I want to continue them kicking my behind, literately! I suppose I should go big or go home and pick the one with more steps, although Transylvania was probably one of my favorite challenge weeks! So "Climb the Inca trail" with 889 steps up and 889 steps down it is!
Today, I got in 140/1778. I'll "step it up" the rest of the week! 
Kind of sad that this is the last week, but excited as well! We've all worked so hard to get to this finish line! I am so proud of all of us, Team 6! We may not be winning in points, but we can finish as strong as we're able, and that's something to be proud of!
Y'all are awesome! Can't wait for the next challenge, whenever that may be! 1 -
In the Q&A thread this answer was given by hawkins410:Please can I clarify with the Challenge 2 option - when choosing a previous challenge, if the week had two bits do we need to do both or can this be just one - for example, Transylvania's two parts were a climbing and a twisting challenge - would we need to do both?
You don't have to do BOTH challenges from a country, just ONE of the challenges. So if you'd like to do the stairs from either Transylvania or Peru, go ahead.2 -

Staying active when I can't run. This week I've been feeling awful about exercise. I found out my knee injury is going to require surgery and so I haven't wanted to exercise at all. I'm going to have to get out of this silly mindset and find other ways to exercise.4 -
