I did get to the gym last night. Brought the baby because hubby had to work. I hope I don't have to go at nights again because the music is extra loud during that time and I would hate for it to affect my little one. Although he didn't seem to mind, slept right through it.

One thing though, quite a few persons told me that they don't think I should be back at the gym so soon. At first I started to doubt myself and wondered if maybe they were right. But then I remembered that my dr gave me the go ahead as long as I promised to take things easy. And I am. Last night when I felt pain doing a particular exercise I stopped immediately. So I will continue to go and do the little that I'm doing. Trust me, I need it. It's good for my psyche to get out of the house, and to have some adult conversation (besides with my husband).

So yea, did some more stairs. I'm up to 1050 which means 728 to go. Also, forgot to mention that I had done the 6 videos on Tuesday so 1 challenge complete. So far I've been 3 for 3 with staying under calories and one of those days included my cheat day so I should be able to complete challenge #3 successfully.

@lbenson2006 I hope you feel better really soon. It's important to listen to your body and if you need to take a day (or 2), you take it because it's the only one you have.

LOL! My husband thought I looked pretty darned sexy screwing up those Peruvian dance moves. I'll just go ahead and take that as a compliment!

Take that and run with it!! You must have some rhythm because what I do could in no way be considered sexy! Lol.

As for me, I've been in bed most of the day and each time I get up, I seem to feel a tad better. Took some nyqil and off to bed again...so a 0 for me today. Hoping when I wake in the morning I feel well enough to do something at least.

@lbenson2006 you need to get better, please don't force yourself! I'm gonna pick up the pace this weekend to try to put some more numbers up!!

I do have to say it is a little disappointing all of the empty spots in the spreadsheet!

Thanks. It's really hard to know whether or not you should push yourself. I was feeling a little better this morning so thought I would do something. I decided to just walk my stairs and did it slow but I still think it was too much. What a bummer. At least I am almost done with the stairs.

I am obsessive over the spreadsheet and would rather have to be adding numbers for people than keep seeing all these blanks. But that's just me. I've noticed another team where the captain themself doesn't post until late in the week. So I guess it's just an individual preference. Lol.

@lbenson2006 Yes, please take care of yourself. Let your body heal! It really doesn't matter what place we come in. Sure it is fun to be #1, but I would rather my team mates were healthy than winning.

I had a crap day yesterday. I felt blah all day. So I decided to skip my walk at lunch and eat nachos. They were yummy. I did do some walking after work. Then ate more crap for dinner/snacks. I fell asleep on the couch around 8 last night. The BF woke me up to go to bed, the next thing I know, it is 4 in the morning. (Alarm goes off at 430) I enjoyed some cuddles with the BF, and now feel so much better. I think my body needed the rest, so I won't beat myself up. Somehow I managed to stay under calories. One more day for that challenge. I am going to try and do videos on Saturday. Today after work I have to take my mom to the airport, and then we are supposedly going to the gym tonight. I can't wait.

Team 2 beat have a great weekend and lets kick it in gear. If all of us do just 5 minutes extra we can make up for some sick time.

@jenilla1 I like to think I'm a smart and reasonable person . Thanks and you are absolutely right. I do feel like it's helping my healing a bit.

@lbenson2006 Stop trying to push through and rest! You are not doing your body any favours if u get injured.

I wanted to do even 30 minutes of cardio yesterday to be able to put some minutes on the spreadsheet, but my baby and my knee had other ideas. Started an exercise video but a few minutes in and the baby started to holler and a few minutes after that felt a twinge in my knee. So of course I stopped immediately because if it's one place on my body I want to keep healthy, it's my knees.

So today I made up for it by going to the gym and doing some extra work. Did my stairs and when I came home I realized that I had only TWO MORE FLOORS to be done. I couldn't believe it, I could have finished that challenge today. Ah well. At least I'm forced to go to the gym tomorrow.

hi team 2 , how are you all
Welcome @Mark_
@lbenson2006 I hope you feel better really soon.

i'm doing well this week , i need to do only one video to complete challenge 2 , 169 steps are remaining for challenge 1 , and 4 days under calories

Woohoo stairs are done!!!! I did 1224 stairs after spin this morning!!

@Joanna2012B that many stairs AFTER a spin class?!?!? You're a rock star!!!

@Mark_ You weren't kidding about the steps! Thanks for the pics. I've been all around L.A. but never into Hollywood. I didn't know about all those stairs. LOL @ finishing up your steps on the ladder! Good save!

Gorgeous day here in SoCal. You couldn't ask for a nicer day to go out and climb stairs in December! I was out working in my yard all day.
