Stair MASTER!

I have HAD IT!  I'm in control of this body.  Where it goes.  What it does.  And what I put into it!  The mind controls the body!  I have always said that...but, have I always believed it?  Yes!  I believe it...so, it's time to put some ACTION behind it!  Fourteen  months ago I fell in my bathtub and hurt my back VERY BADLY.  At the time...I was just getting on a roll with exercise and I had to stop.  But, that was fourteen months ago!  No...I've not fully recovered.  But, I'm no longer having to sit with my ass on ice for the majority of my day.  I'm in tremendous pain...yes!  But, I'm never going to get better if I don't strengthen myself and get this weight off.  Even 20 lbs will relieve so much stress from my feet, ankles, knees, and lower back (all of which must hate me for the burdon I've placed on them!).  So, I've re-joined Jillian Michaels weight loss plan and I just took off up the stairs at the hotel.  I managed only 40 stairs before I thought my chest would explode and needed to come sit down because I was light headed.  But....I MANAGED 40 STAIRS!  I got my ass outta my chair and I climbed 40 stairs without stopping to rest!  So...I've accomplished something great today!  I STARTED OVER! 

And who knows...I might just do 40 more before quitin' time    :)
