Mist, I don't think you're pickin on me. I think you see something that is honestly alarming, and you want to reach out. *due to the misunderstanding that sometimes when I am communicating I a m making excuses I am putting this disclaimer on my post This is not an excuse Nobody take it for an excuse. I was over weight, even before my horse back riding accident, But I was capable of being pyscially active, I would go every week, and I'd do all the things that are required to ride the horse, I even had very little problem hauling the saddle and the saddle pads, * which are kinda heavy, to me , specially if you're tired after a good ride, but then, I fell off the horse I was riding twice in 2000, and before that I would of been running circles around those damned stairs. But with that injury being out of commission for 3 years from it, and getting fatter while out of commission, I am these days having my ass kicked by the stairs instead of kicking their ass. I seriously do miss the days when I was the fearless young healthy skinny girl who kicked ass, and could hustle just as well as any one* as opposed to the slow shuffling I do now* I am sad and I AM alarmed, at how bad it's gotten. I think it's absolutely freaking pitiful, that something so basic, such as stairs does me in. And that's not good. That's why I AM so proud when I manage to do the little things, like work all day at the house cleaning it for the lady I did it for. Because it is so hard and I AM so far out of shape. And then people are like ooh woopty fucking woo, you cleaned house all day big deal NOT! But I do ignore them, and I am still very proud of myself, and so is Daddy. quote:

ORIGINAL: YourhandMyAss I am so out of shape right now that a flight of stairs WILL have my heart beating, at increased rates, Hell walking all over the hotel, even slowly or at a moderate pace will too. Hun, if that is true then you really better take a good, hard look at this. I have to tell you that when I was 26 I could have run up and down stairs from the time I got up til the time I went to bed and I wouldn't have even been breathing hard. I'm not trying to come down on you or preach to you but I will tell you that you just have no idea the effects that aging will have on you. These should be the healthiest years of your life. It is NOT going to get easier as you get older and you are seriously shortening your life span. It really is time to start thinking about your future and putting some discipline and self control into your life. I know that you are trying and I know that you are making progress in some areas....but if you can't make it up and down a flight of stairs without it having an effect on your heart rate, I don't think trying and small progresses are going to be enough. I think you have to give yourself some tough love and buckle down to it. Make a plan, set goals and do it faithfully every single day. I know it seems impossible and I am not going to tell you that it's going to be easy at all....but this much I can promise you....healthy habits become just that....habits. If you do the hard work now there will come a time when it won't be hard to do. It will just become habit.
