    164 stairs to go. That'll be done with tomorrow's car parking.

    Eating under calories - day three done.

    I logged my miles as 90, but I may get a few more in tonight before bedtime. I'll update the spreadsheet if I do that. I really want that 100 today, but I have chores to do first and work email to catch up on since I am out of the office.

    @TamiJo1004 So your jury duty brings you food but makes you sit in a wooden chair all day? Dang. I'll take our padded chairs and pack my own lunch. Hopefully we'll have closing arguments tomorrow and be able to finish deliberations. No one wants to come back on Friday.

    @katharmonic - Two walks with Stella. Sounds positive. Or should I say pawsative? :)

    @mts7471 - You've done all the challenges you can so far! Excellent!

    @Vowder - 20 minutes? Wow! You're a beast. I have been disappointed in how quickly stairs go. I'm not getting nearly the miles I expected out of that task.

    @katharmonic - congrats on reaching your goal! That is wonderful.

    @TamiJo1004 - I am in for getting 700 minutes this week. I love the challenge. Great job on already getting your stairs done! YES!

    @mamaelf2008 - I am sorry to hear that your dog is not doing well. I am definitely sending you two positive energy. It is really neat that another team member, @gsxrgirl61 has experienced this before and can provide a possible solution. I love the pic of your beautiful Loki. I am sorry you lost him, but glad you got another year and half with him. (ok....now that I have caught up with all the posts, I see that mamaelf's pup is doing better.....good)

    @junodog1 - I love the picture of you on top of the building! Very nice.

    @mts7471 - WOW! Nice job with completing two of the challenges.

    I am about 50% done with the stairs, on day 3 with staying under calories, and haven't started the balance video, yet. So......I should get going on that now instead of sitting on the couch. :D

    Snow and ice yesterday, but just a few inches. 50 degrees outside today. Tomorrow - over a foot of snow and potential blizzard conditions. Love New England!

    Yesterday ended up being a rest day because of the icy conditions. Today was lifting and kickboxing. I don't really have a plan this week - just figuring it out one day at a time because of the lovely weather. I'm hoping that there will be a window for a short run before the snow hits tomorrow, but will just have to see how it looks in the morning. Either way I'll do the second round of balance, and probably throw in some additional core work. And shoveling. Eventually, once the storm is over, we will have the plow guy come, but if the conditions aren't too bad I might go outside and do some shoveling for an extra calorie burn.

    My stair tally sticky note is on my desk at work, but I think I'm at about 850; it could probably be more but I don't always remember to tally. Maybe I'll just run up and down the stairs a bunch tomorrow.

    Boy, leave this thread for a couple hours and the new posts rack up!

    I need to update the spreadsheet but stairs are done, 3 days under calories and 1 more video to do. Golf tomorrow and Friday will give me tons of minutes though not sure if I will max out this week or not.

    Off to bed soon, talk to you all tomorrow!

    Edit: just updated the spreadsheet. We have a solid first right now and will arrive tomorrow. Do we have bartenders yet?!

    Oh man @Vowder you ARE a beast. I did less than half the stairs and treadmilling you did and my legs are wobbly and sore. And then you go and throw in a bunch of puppies. So awesome.

    @junodog1 love your pun :) Good job getting things done while on jury duty! Glad you got the cushy chairs ;)

    @vowder - thx for posting the pic of those adorable pups. Do you breed them, or was this "oh.....we are expecting?" I hope you find them wonderful homes. Great job on your workout.....I am sure you will sleep very well now. :)

    @mamaelf2008 -we had to help our old black Lab up and down the stairs for the last two years of her life. We used a towel slung under her belly back by her back legs to do it. It helped her and saved our backs. Glad she's gonna be your workout buddy for awhile longer!

    @hawkins410-if that's the best you can do I guess I will accept them :D

    @vowder-those puppies! I can't take the cuteness!

    I'm gonna check in to all my challenges then do some stretching before heading to the golf course. At least I don't have to spend any time on Facebook since I'm sick to death of all the political crap from both sides! Taking a break from that but for my training groups.

    @mamaelf2008 so glad Tamika is better!!!
    @hawkins410 too many choices.
    Stay tough everybody!!!

    @mamaelf2008 good news that Tamika is back to walking and getting relief from her pinched nerve! Gentle hugs to her! I just saw someone made a sling thing to help their dog using a reusable grocery bag and cutting out the sides. You can then use it like the towel @cardbucfan mentioned to help lift them - and it has handles

    We are almost there - 97.76% right now! I'm ready to hit the beach today as we had snow overnight and are expecting a storm tonight too.

    I'm going to try to get my challenges wrapped up today.

    Good morning! Hoping it's a good day! I am hoping to rack up some minutes today. I slept with heat pack all night. I can officially say it feels tons better.

    I'm soooo ANGRY right now !!!!!!!!
    We had to leave the house to go to my neighbor's house as there are 4 police cars and 6 police officers in my home. The front door had been knocked off the hinges, stuff everywhere, and apparently they were looking for something. So I'm stuck outside with this police officer and they are inside searching through everything, even our laundry. They checked inside my closets under my mattress. They tore my things apart. So, as you can imagine, I'm getting upset, and I'm trying figure out what's going on.
    I asked if they had a search warrant, and if I could see it. The cop in my bedroom yells, "Where did you hide it at? We know it's here! We are searching till we find it."
    Then I yell back, "If I had an idea of what you're looking for sir, maybe I could help!" He shoots me the "you wanna go to jail?" look, so I shut up and watch one of the other police officers look down at his phone.
    Then he shouts, "Guys Stop! Hold on. We're in the wrong house! The Pokémon is next door!"
    If you fell for this, like I did, feel free to copy and paste. Don't take life too seriously, and enjoy your day! Lol
    Not as funny as Aggie's jokes but thought it was cute!

    Omg I fell for it!!!

    I will
    Finish my steps today. Only 300 to go!!

    Too many bartenders to choose from. Maybe I'll have to give them all a try to see who make the best drink (that is what they are supposed to be providing right hahah)

    Am planning on hitting the 100min mark again today. I did finish the balance videos last night!! (I think I'd rather dance than those videos again) I will stay under in calories again today.

    Have a great day everyone!! Stay warm for those of you in the attic freeze. It's only 2 degrees with a -15 wind chill for me. Sporting 2 pair of everything to stay warm at work.

    Things are looking up this morning! I got into the doctor yesterday, went for an xray, hopefully will hear back on that today. I'm in an immobilizer (brace from my thigh to ankle) and still using crutches, HOWEVER this morning I can bear some weight on that leg and the swelling has gone down a lot. I'm icing it, elevating it and basically sitting on my butt - I never, ever, in a million years thought I'd ever become one of THOSE people, but I miss the gym already!!! And I have a charity stair climbing event on the 26th, and I just started run camp - I HAVE THINGS TO DO, I don't have time to sit here doing nothing!!

    @hawkins410, I'm going to try the balance video today, just for grins and giggles (and minutes and points). Would it still count if it's not done exactly as shown but with some modifications? I'm also looking into some seated workout stuff, this sitting around crap is for the birds!!

    We are trying to become breeders... this is only our 3rd litter although the 1st litter had only 1 pup. LOL

    It is kind of fun... but a ton of work. Much easier to raise in the summer when they can play outside.

    Can't wait to hit the beach. My surf shorts are packed!

    @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn: Sure, modify the balancing exercises! You can also Google "Sitting Balancing Exercises for the Elderly" and there are a lot there. I am not saying you are elderly!! :open_mouth: It is just where they are. :)
    When I had to spend a bunch of time in the car at the end of the last race, Captain @120maggie had me look up "Car Exercises". There are a ton of stretching and small weight exercises that you can do for minutes. Good luck and hope the X-rays bring good news! <3

    @mamaelf2008 wants ALL the bartenders and @120maggie finds them overwhelming!
    That shows why we are such a great team:
    "Different strokes for different folks!" ;)

    @TamiJo1004: You almost had me!! I love the cute picture!

    Someone find @Vowder a bartender! Unless he rather go looking "down under" on his own! :D
