Challenge 2 done - I did the beginners total body workout. It was nice, and although I was familiar with all the exercises, it was good to have them explained in detail again, to check the form.

CHALLENGE #1: I did the 5k frostbite footrace. I walked (partly and the whole way) to work yesterday and today, which was about 7 km in total. Now that the weather is getting warmer, and it is not so dark anymore, it is much nicer to walk than in winter! Part of the way is through a park, so it is nice to walk there, and a…

I am giving up fast food and sweets! Both have been too much part of my diet in the last weeks, so this will give me the right motivatin to drop them.

All done for the week and updated! Good night everybody!

Yes, exactly, the same for me! @rachelerik - take care of yourself and follow doctor's orders so that you will get better soon! Wish you a speedy recovery!

Hi all, Can someone please enter my workout minutes into the spreadsheet (I am on my mobile and it is too cumbersome...) Thank you! Saturday - over 4 hours of snowshoeing, but I didn't get the exact time, so 4 hours should be okay Sunday - another 2 hours. Had a great time and awesome whether! But I am going to be so sore…

I can't imagine anybody being able to do zumba to be uncoordinated... But I am glad I am not the only one trying to keep up with it (although with zumba it is the same, I am always one or several moves behind). Food challenge: I tried some Brussel's sprout. I hated the as a kid, but now I think they are not so bad. Still…

I am glad you are feeling better! Take it easy and don't overdo it! Just give yourself enough time to get better... We all are cheering you on. <3

Just to let you know I am still here - Had a conference at work the last days and was too tired afterwards to start up the computer to enter my minutes in the spreadsheet... All the stairs done! Still have to do the fitnessblender video for a second time. I'll post my minutes in the spreadsheet later today! @TrkyVic0327 -…

I walked up and down the stairs in my flat 15 times this evening - then I crawled into my bedroom... ;)

I have 600 stairs so far, and did the balance video once. And so far, one day under my calorie limit. :)

I am just glad that we may count the stairs going down too :) And I just deposited a checklist besides my staircase... Thanks for the suggestion!

I am sorry, but I didn't manage the food challenge this week :(

Yesterday I finally had the builders in my flat, to deal with the water damage from last spring (oh yeah, talk about incompetent building management). They were competent (nice change), but demolished much larger parts of the drywall than I anticipated. Now I have three different drying units standing around and making…

Sorry for not checking in earlier this week! We had our final exam yesterday evening (I am working at a university), so the days before were a bit hectic. But now the worst is over, we just have to grade all the exams, which is rather tedious, but at least not as stressful as the last week. And the students are on winter…

I liked the photos you posted from your places, so I thought to add some, too. Not from Vienna itself (you probably know them already), but from the Danube wetlands and the national park there.

Just had my last manderine today, so all the challenges are done! :) I am curious where we will go next week!

I am finished with the videos, I'll just have to eat another orange tomorrow, then the three days are done, too. :)

I finished all the videos once, I still have to repeat the one I liked best - definitely the 4th! (The second was crazy - I can't even move my arms that fast for one minute, let alone for the whole video!) And I bought some mandarines yesterday. I am not a big fan of them, but they were out of oranges...

Hi all! I am Malea (short for Michaela). I am from Austria, and I live in Vienna. Please don't confuse Austria with Australia - we do not have any kangaroos (except in the zoo). Even the post office is said to sometimes send letters to the wrong continent... I love it here, Vienna offers a great mix of culture (especially…

Yeah for the cat lovers! That's great! :D <3

Yeah!

Me too! B)

Hi Team! You perhaps wondered what became of me - I am still battling some virus, and not able to do much working out, so I asked to step down so that I wouldn't drag our team down. But I am still lurking around and cheering you on. Go Team Six! >:)

Hi all, just a quick update to let you know that I am still here! I spent the week mostly in bed due to bronchitis, but I hope that I can get up tomorrow. I need to get some groceries and go to the pharmacy. I am sorry, but I don't think I will be able to do all this week's challenges :(

Hi all, I am sorry for being absent the whole week! Several things came up that I had to deal with, one after another, and finally on Friday evening I got sick with a sore throat and fever. Of course it had to be in the evening and the weekend when no doctor is there... Since then all I did was lying in bed, just now got…

All done and posted! B) And now I am heading to my bed. Hope you all had a nice Sunday!

I still have one day of radio taiso and 20 sumo squats to do tomorrow. And stay under my calories fpr the last day. So all in all it looks good that I will make it! And I have beaten the bug and am almost back to normal :)
