Get in shape, girl!

I took the stairs to my office at work today. I counted, and I think there was 100 of them. It wouldn't be so bad, but I had my lap top bag with me, which weighs at least 40 lbs. I have so much stuff in it, and I bring my files with me wherever I go. I had to take a break half way up to catch my breath!

It still wasn't nearly as bad as when I ran up them last week, with no bag at all. I have a feeling if I hadn't had a bag, it wouldn't be too bad. In fact, I'm going to go walk down them now, and walk up them without a bag to see.

BRB.

Okay. I just walked down and then up the 100 stair progression, and I must say, I'm quite winded. LOL. I guess the bag didn't make as much difference as I thought it would. I need to practice on these stairs, because I want to be able to fly up them too!

When I go hiking in the woods near my house, I always go up every steep hill I can find. I want to get that great cardiovascular work out. I need to do more of it though, apparently.

In my defense, I'm still a good 80 lbs overweight! When I finish losing, I'm sure I'll not only be able to fly up 100 stairs, but probably over the rooftops as well! ;-)

For now, please send along the oxygen mask.
