Well hello Mr. Stairs

So today was another soda free day! I haven't really been craving it so much and I am finding it much easier this time. My biggest down fall today was snacking... there is always food around at work and I have a hard time just telling myself no. But I'm letting it slide, and going to work hard at it tomorrow. Tonight's dinner was a little much for me, steak, baked potatoes and lightly sauced corn. I would have been fine if I had stopped with one baked potato and stopped adding the sour cream!

Today I found what I was looking for, it was right under my feet and I didn't even know it. You know how they say if you stop looking for love it will find you...introducing Mr. Stairs. I recently moved into an apartment with two flights of stairs leading up into my apartment, 25 steps total plus the 8-10 steps I take in the small hallway leading from one flight to another. Well my plans to see GYM this week have fizzled so I thought why not use what I have. I set a timer for 10 minuets and just started going. Up and down, up and down, up and down. I should have kept count of how many laps I did but I'm just not that smart....yet! So before I know it I'm out of breath and started to sweat....wait from walking up and down steps!? I run into the kitchen thinking my 10 minuets should be up but NO...there are still 3 more minuets left! WHAT!! How out of shape am I? I'm making this my goal that I can work up to 10 minuets.... here's my picture of the day... one flight of my steps!
