  • Also, my vote for captain, is for athena. She made the thread, she's keeping track of our steps, she's making a spread sheet of our steps, and she's giving tips to help us survive the zombie apocylapse.

    Thanks for everything athena. :)

    Heya wonderful team. It's so funny how sore my legs are, haven't been this sore since starting 30DS haha. I will probably aim for doing 500 today as it is a full on one meh Friday's. On the counting thing as I am using a make shift step I use my fingers haha and a piece of paper once I hit 100. I also agree that if Athena is up for it to be captain you have been great thus far Athena :) If I remember correctly I think Nessy (agreenmess) was also looking at it maybe we could have a co-captain for the days that are busy etc. Anyway you guys are all terrific and are totally pumping this challenge!!!
  • for stretching stand on the step with just the balls of your feet on and drop your heels down then up ect. =)

    Welcome Chelle_D! Great to have you on board!

    As for you NZers...I'm not sure what a proper nickname is for you guys...You'll have to ask ACowboyKid, she'd be the best to answer than question.

    Thank you for votes of confidence, I personally would love it if agreenmess and I were co-Captains, I think the two of us could lead Team Explosives to victory! However I think no matter who on this team becomes Captain, we will be victorious because we are the most insanely supportive and outrageously kind team and we have the coolest weapons.

    M-32. Seriously, it packs enough punch to propel the Zombie while catching him on fire. Defiantly my weapon of choice.


    Edit: By the way guys, we are less than 3000 steps away from getting out of the building!!!!!!


  • As for you NZers...I'm not sure what a proper nickname is for you guys...


    "kiwis" is what it normaly is lol

    Got it, Kiwi's

    I think I knew that...I mean, I think I heard that on Summer Heights High.


    That's pretty cool that we have 2 Kiwi's in our group!

    Okay so I contacted Cowboykid and she said it's going by Eastern Standard time US & Canada so if I am correct, that's 12hrs behind us "Kiwi's".

    I think we are just going to have to put down Tuesday as our start date as long as we finish our last day steps before the cut off time Monday 18 July say 11:30pm Eastern Standard time which will be Tuesday 19 July 11:30am Kiwi time. Hope this makes sense. So.........

    GMT time for me
    Tues: 1000
    Wed: 1000
    Thurs: 500


    or............

    Kiwi time for me
    Wed: 1000
    Thurs: 1000
    Fri: 500

    I will see what Cowboykid comes up with apparently a few have been asking about that.

    *Maybe it's easier for the Kiwi's if we call it day 3? Did that make you loose a day at the beginning though?

    * I would vote for Athena as captain too. I threw my name in the hat but it was before I knew anyone else was interested. This being my first challenge I am just happy to be here, if you know what I mean :)

    *I can almost breathe out of my nose now so I will be blasting some zombie stairs in the morning. I have 975 as a total but I really wanted to get WAY ahead. :)

    I don't think we loose a day as the Monday check-in will be our Tuesday so as long as we get the steps in before the time is up should even out. I hope at least :)

    Tuesday: 1478
    Wednesday: 300
    Thursday: 1538

    Everyone is doing fantastic!!!!

    Keep up the great work!!!

    Midweek totals are as follows:

    Steps needed as a group to complete the goal: 27,000
    Steps we have taken as a team: 26,521
    The difference: 479!!!!!!!!!

    That's right, less than 500 steps to go!


    Hey guys, what do you think about showing those other teams up? Lets say the new goal for the group is 50,000? What do you think?

    Do you think we can do it? I think we can!!!!!!!!


    We have some powerhouses on our team but I think that everyone could get at least 1800 steps for the week! (Chelle_D, seeing as this is you have come in mid-week, your goal is at least 900 steps.)


    I think we can show Ranged and Melee what we're made of!


    Again, great work, everyone!

    ATTENTION: Challenge of the Living Dead members: Weigh in's are do by Monday at 9PM!!! And no later! This will not be a weekly thing, however I make the spreadsheets and track loss etc and Tuesday I fly out to Michigan and will have zero time to make/post the sheets. If I do not have you weights by the time I finish the spreadsheets you will be put as +1lb. If you cannot give it to me Monday for whatever reason, please weigh in Sunday. Also: Be sure to tell me how many stairs you did when you weigh in!! Thank you guys!!!

    Hey guys.. sorry that i've not been around.. these past couple days have been solid with appointments for me.... tonight is going to be a night of stairs though.. so i will post back then.. :)

    Happy Friday!!
  • Tues/1000
    Weds/800
    Thurs/800
    Frid/1000 so far.

    Now that I know we're shooting for 50,000, I'll put in another 1000-2000 today. It's only 8am anyways. Also, I realized yesterday morning that I'm not counting the stairs I go up each day without actually exercising. I go up and down the stairs a million friggin times a day! 2 story house and my room's at the top. In the morning I come up and down the stairs tons(I know we just count up) because I always forget something. Yesterday I counted the times I went up the stairs and it was 33 times! There's 13 stairs , so that's 429 stairs without trying!

    Now I don't know what I should do. Should I add 429 stairs to each day or just yesterday and from now on?

    Last night I was too tired to log in. Sorry.
    Here are my numbers so far

    Day1: 730
    Day2: 520
    Day3: 432

    With today I'll go over 1800. Where do we stand compared to the other groups? It looks like everybody is doing lots of stairs.

    Someone asked about how many lbs we've lost...I've lost 3lbs so far, and expect prob close to double that cuz this week every month I lose the most weight..just how my body does it...lose nothing for 2weeks or lose the same 2lbs over and over for those 2weeks, and lose alot the other two weeks of the month...awh the pleasure of being female.

    Yesterday when I finished the stairs I was fine, but hours later, before bed, my calf muscles were pretty tight. Now that its morning, I can hardly walk they r so tight...hopefully they'll feel better later, but I've already done my 1800 so I wont fall behind... ill do extra when I can; but can't guarentee I can double my number by monday..

    Tuesday: 400
    Wednesday: 320
    Thursday: 480
    Friday: 640

    Total (so far): 1840

    YES! Reached my goal of 1800! :bigsmile: I'm going on a day trip tomorrow for a BBQ pilgrimage (don't judge, I'm from Memphis, bbq IS a religion in these parts :laugh: ) to Big Bob Gibson's BBQ in Decatur, AL and then to the Air and Space Museum in Huntsville so I don't know how many stairs I'll be getting in. I'll try and do some before we leave and then when we get back, plus who knows how many stair cases are in the museum!?

    I'm not the stairs powerhouse a lot of you lovely folks are, but I think I'm holding my own! :happy:

    Lets go Team Explosives! :explode:

    Ok here are my stairs so far:

    Tuesday: 400
    Wednesday: 500
    Thursday: 320

    Total (so far): 1220

    I'm definitely going to do a bunch later tonight. I made the mistake of doing all of the step ups on Wednesday leading with my right leg (I just didn't even think about it) and it is sooooooooo beyond sore. I will be leading with my left tonight to even it up...definitely won't make that mistake again.

    I leave on Sunday for a cross country road trip, so I'll be weighing in early and also trying to get as many stairs done in the next two days as possible. Go Team Explosives!!!!
