Thrifty Ray's challenge

March 19th, 2006 at 05:46 pm

I finally sat down and read some of my comments and notice that thrifty ray had challenge me in stair climbing. She mentioned 25 times a day! I don't know if I could do it, but I can try.
What I have started doing is using poker chips upstairs. Every time I go back down the stairs, I take a chip and put it on the newel downstairs.
The first day I made 17 trips, which is
544 steps. Yesterday, I did 13 trips which is 416 steps.
Ok, Ray, let's have a go! (Do you need to lose weight? I do!)
I won't feel bad if you win a lot, I think I am probably older than you.

    I do need to lose weight...and I have been trying to figure a way to incorporate more exercise...This will be fun. I will do the same with the poker chips (although mine will have to be pennies since we don't have the chips)

    I am 44 ... so how about this.... let's come up with an accumulative total for each week that we achieve together... when we make it, we get to treat ourselves to a little something ....that way we are working as a team towards the same goal.

    Whaddyathink?

    Sounds good to me. Do you want to start today or tomorrow? Should be add money to our $20 challenge or are you doing that? 20 trips a day is 640 steps for me.

    Yes- I am doing the challenge- but I wasn't sure what I could do to add $$...I have been racking my brain- so Im game for adding to the challege for making this goal.

    Let's start tomorrow...since we were gone all day today (on a wonderful 5 hour drive through the country....it was BEAUTIFUL- lots of snow, pine trees, lakes and rivers...we even saw a bobcat (Id never seen one).

    I am putting a little dish of pennies at the top of the stairs to remind me.

    Thanks, Ima Saver...this is going to be fun.

    How about every day we climb up and down the stairs (tht's one trip) and we make 20 complete trips, we will add a dollar to our challenge money. If we make 25 trips or more, we will add two dollars.? Ok starting today.
