Once upon a time I blogged about how much I disliked the
stair stepper machine. While that dislike is still mostly there, I feel that I
can claim a small victory over it!
This morning I decided to push myself, (something Paula
regularly tells me to do…and I normally give her a face of slight disgust...), today, I decided to just suck it up and do it. My goal was to do at least 20 mins on
the stair machine, (the first time I tried that machine, I could barely do 3
minutes… but I have slowly been doing more and more). It was going pretty well,
and when I was getting close to the 20 min mark and ready to be dome, I
realized I was decently close to 100 flights of stairs. So I decided, what the
heck let just bust out the rest of it…. And I did!! I managed to 25 minutes and
just over 100 flights of stairs. Rick had told me once, that I would eventually
love that machine, and while I don’t love it, I can now tolerate it. I was also
super excited to send a picture of the 100 flight mark to Rick and Tina this
morning. Even though it was hard work, I
did it, I can do more than I used to, and isn’t that the point of the whole
things? Constant improvement, and making ourselves stronger, healthier and able
to live life more fully as a result, this is the goal, and every day we move closer.
You Rock Kimberly! I knew you could do it!
ReplyDeleteAnd YOU ROCK Paula! How awesome to be known as the friend that says, Push Yourself!
DeleteSuch an awesome blog post! Pushing yourself toward one goal, almost being done and realizing, hey, if I do a little more, a little longer, I can knock another milestone out! Love it!
