I went to train on the stairs tonight. My goal was to finish 34 floors in 45 minutes or less. It was tough..it pushed my heart and lungs in a way that they haven't been pushed in a loooong time. I finished in 25 minutes and 50 seconds. I wanted to cry when I was done. I was soo proud of how far I've come. I looked back today and on 2/1 (just 25 days ago) I could only get up 6 floors. I felt worse after those 6 then I did after the 34 today.
It was great perspective for me. I have only lost 3 lbs in the past 25 days but I am healthier and stronger than I have been in years. I just have to keep doing what I know to do and eventually my body is going to have no choice but to catch up with me. I know now that I am unstoppable. If I can climb 34 floors in 25 minutes at 287 pounds- I CAN DO ANYTHING!!
Just a reminder- If you wait to do the right thing until you feel like doing it- you are in trouble. Do the right thing because it's the right thing..and your feelings will catch up to you!!
Love you all- thanks for sharing this journey with me!! God Bless!!
Good for you! I bet you've built some great muscle mass! Yeah for health!
