Stair Challenge

Re: Stair Challenge

I have been out helping load a cord of madrone into DHs truck for delivery...I feel as though Ive made more than 25 round trips...lol...I am off to costco with DD1 to pick up pizza supplies...then back home to cook. (I will pay myself $2 towards the challenge for all that loading into the truck...madrone is way heavier (thus more of a workout) than fir!!!)

GS is upstairs napping...he literally fell asleep singing to gramma...

I love the simple, peaceful life!

Re: Stair Challenge

Ok, I did 25 flights of stairs, also walked for 30 minutes on my treadmill. That adds $3 to my challenge money, now onto today's challenge.

Re: Stair Challenge

I am at 7 round trips so far this morning...it sure helps when you drink coffee and the bathroom is upstairs...or when the phone rings for DH and he is asleep upstairs (DH works nights).... or when you hear your blind lab rummaging through your teens bedroom upstairs.... and get back to the computer (downstairs) and remember you left the phone in the bedroom with DH and you need it... and have to go to the bathroom again when you get off the phone...

Oh so much motivation...

Re: Stair Challenge

I am on number 19. I will make 20 but probably not 25. My husband came home at 5 pm instead of 6 pm, so that shortens my time. We get ready and go out to eat every night and then spend the evening together, so i can't exercise at night.
My bedroom and bathroom are downstairs, my only reason to go upstairs is to use the computer and treadmill.

Re: Stair Challenge

I barely hit 25. My legs are giving me fits this afternoon...(weak, kinda wobbly) I know something is up, cause for about 4 days, one of my legs feels like someone is pouring real warm water on it...(this happens every few months...lasts days to weeks) suspect MS...lot's of symptoms...no diagnosis. (They call it limbo-land)

Oh well, anyways...GS was here again today....we had another fun day...but gramma is worn out tonight. Home alone day tomorrow...looking forward to some serious housework!

Oh yeah, Ima Saver, the book came in...can't wait to get started...ironically, I am 1/4 Cherokee Indian!! so this book is even more intriguing (spelling?) I will try to read some tomorrow too! g'nite

Re: Stair Challenge

I made 25 flights. I did the last 5 while my husband was watching me, looking at me like I was nuts or something. I also got in 37 minutes walking on my treadmill. So I can add $3 to my challenge. Ray, if your leg is hurting, stay off it for a few days and enjoy that book. I didn't think it was one I would like, but I found it facinating.

Re: Stair Challenge

I was just having a pity-party for one last night...Much better today...ready to tackle stairs...and get this house cleaned!! I am at 5 today so far. With the housework, I will make the goal no problem today...I am always up and down them when I clean cause for some reason all the upstairs stuff is downstairs and vis-versa.

Have a great day!

Re: Stair Challenge

Glad you are feeling better. I had to run to North Carolina (actually I drove) today, so i am way behind on my stairs and walking.

Re: Stair Challenge

My stairs needed a break yesterday...so I made the huge sacrifice and went to the mall with my mom & DD2 and only used the stairs...managed to get in the equivalent. It was tough to hit the mall, but sometimes sacrifices must be made (wink)

DD3 and DH are sleeping in this morning, so only 2 trips so far... (Im drinking coffee) (wink again)...When they get up I will hit the stairs...busy day today- dump day, then DD3 needs to go to the dollar store and is off to an overnight birthday party.

DH offered to take me to the movie using that $30 from the extra wood money...(how sweet huh?)

Have a great day Ima Saver...looking forward to hearing how the night out with your friends went....

Re: Stair Challenge

Well I only managed to get in 20 flights of stairs yesterday but I did walk on my treadmill for 45 minutes. I am off to a late start today. It is past noon and I have only done 2 flights. I went and got my grocery shopping done this morning. Have to cook on sundays, however my husband will cook on the grill.

Re: Stair Challenge

I am still alive, I could not get onto this site for almost 48 hours. I got my 20 flights of stairs done yesterday and over 30 minutes on the treadmill. I have almost done 20 flights of stairs already today.
