Hello everyone, just to keep up to date. I have finished the oranges and have been working on the videos. Forgot how much I like oranges so will be adding them in to my fruit line-up
I am out of town until Sunday so not sure if I will be able to log a whole lot coming before sunday afternoon. Again, my minutes will be a little down this week but I promise to make up for it in the coming weeks.

I got to the store finally this evening and have eaten my first orange so I'm right with you @carinamenina!

I did get my exercise in this morning but I hopping to get at least one more in tonight before bed as tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy one. I have been informed that the plumber is coming in the morning to plumb the new bathroom and he WILL be shutting OFF the water, eeek! I hate that when it happens! But I can't complain to much it means progress.

I did get the long video done this morning and I may get the 10 minute one yet tonight.

@MonicaA2013 Would 1:00 on Friday be to early for you? I know you said you work on Fridays. That should give us time for tea and a good walk and I may still get home before rush hour. Can you send me the address and name of where to meet you?

Entered my minutes for the last two days and it brought us into 3rd.

I Completed the last video this morning too. Yee Haa. I am so excited about that. Have a great day everyone

I just added all my exercise minutes for yesterday and tried to update my Oranges too and it still says can't add till Thursday. Unless i am mistaken isn't today Thursday..LOL And i am on Pacific time too. I got my videos done this morning too. NOW i am on to today !!

@tarpguys 1pm is perfect ! That gives me time to get home and change into something more suitable for walking. I will get the address for the coffee shop and get that to you this afternoon. This is just so cool to meet someone from one of my groups with the same interests !!

Today i will be working with DH again and then i am planning on getting out for a run. Was gonna do the laundry and some grocery shopping yesterday but that didn't happen so that is on the to do list for today. Hope you all have a great day, Catch ya later !

I will definitely do the video challenges, but it will probably be over the weekend! What'd everyone think of tai chi?

@ddeliciosa I liked the videos last time and I liked them this time around too, they're actually a good workout and got my heart pumping!

I went into the old gym and signed up. I am back to group classes. What better time to start than now. So I took a zumba class and scored 60 min.s

@lynnbaum Awesome outlook! You go girl!

I jacked up my back yesterday, no clue what I did but within an hour I went from fine to not being able to bend over without looking like I was 90. I went home and lied around, which drove me crazy but I'm at the point now where I've learned if my body's not feeling okay, I just cannot force it to do my planned exercise. It sucks, but it's a good point to be at when you finally have learned your lesson The hubs got home, cracked and stretched it all different ways, and I was good as new! Got myself my own personal chiropractor

I slept through my gym alarm, but hand enough time to get a quick snowy walk in this morning. I also just did the videos at my office, and I broke a sweat! Had to loose the boots because I was getting too hot lol. The first video was putting me to sleep but had some decent stretching, second video I kept forgetting to walk while moving my hands lol but soon got the hang of it, third video was a bit too long for me, had me losing interest when I was just doing their moves, but once I started getting into it and shakin my thang I was having fun haha, and that last one really worked my booty! I liked them! My fitbit said I burned 174 cals and had a 106 average heartrate, also got 2,300 steps! Awesome!

I'm working on getting an answer from ME about the orange points and why we can't enter them. I'll let you guys know either when the issue is fixed or when he gets back to me!

We're only about 30 points out of first! Good work team!! Everyone's doing an awesome job with their logging, I'm proud! We're also 92% of the way to China! So close, let's make it today - a day before our goal!!

Still nothing from @Queen_S_01 Anyone else had any luck?

Hey everyone!! Looking good today! Just finished my videos and I'm about to go update the spreadsheet. Also doing Aqua Gym tonight so I will add that once I'm done.

Just put in my numbers for today and the Orange challenge. We are really close to getting to China now. We are in Second place.

I did an initial 45 minutes on the elliptical.. I saw that we were at 4952 and for some reason that registered as "OMG WE'RE 8 MINUTES AWAY FROM CHINA" so I did a quick 8 minute walk. I'm a dumdum lol, however we are 40 minutes away from China now! Instead of doing cardio tomorrow I think I'm going to complete the videos *fingers crossed* Happy almost almost Friday!

Wow. Good job team! We are in China & only 20pts off of 1st place!

I JUST LOOKED AND WE ARE IN 1ST PLACE!

@lynnbaum Good on you for keeping yourself honest! Knowing that you have a whole team counting on you is super motivating. I'm glad you had a good day All the carrots and hummus to you girlfriend!
