Stair to Health


It has been a rough week. I quite didn't start my exercise program the way I wanted it to. I tell you it's all mental with me. If I am not happy, I don't want to do anything. It seems I never want to do anything. here  
Earlier this week twas a little breakthrough. 
Stairs go up!
Stairs go down!
I was talking to my friend about the video I had made for the contest that I had joined. He mentioned that I won't go out in the cold to walk or run. So, he asked, "what floor do you live on?" I told him I lived on the third floor. Then he asked "how many floors does the building has?" I told him seven. Then he recommended that I walk up and down the stairs to get my exercise on. As I mentioned, I have not done what I wanted. I only did it once. I wanted to do it for a half an hour. I did only about twenty minutes. I was actually exhausted after about ten minutes. I pushed myself on. 
     In life there are many obstacles. This week I learned that a good friend of mine is in the hospital in a coma. It was very sudden and it doesn't look good. I hope and pray that a miracle happens. I stay in mediation and prayer for the people in my life and forget about me. I am in deep thought of how our friendship could have been better. I think, should I have been more open in our relationship? I would have been more of a friend. I think of the coulda, shoulda, wouldas in my life and never the doing.
     Like I said it's all mental with me. I have to get passed all my mental issues in order to move forward in my life and weight loss journey. Things will happen and I have to live with it. I am a simple man with a complicated mind. I need to simplify the mind and complicate the man.  It sounds a little selfish, but if I don't there won't be a me. I will touch upon this next week. I think I need to let it all out.
     Enough of my rambling. I will get to climbing the stairs this week and see how many steps it take for me to go up and down. That way I can see how many calories I am burning and adjust my diet accordingly. I'll talk at you guys next week.

  1. JUnior, i lost my first lengthy post. it ws my best one. sorry.... i don't wanna do anything when I am sad either. but i am so proud of you for tackling those stairs!!!! Stairclimbing is the in thing these days. and good for your heart, your metabolism, and ur buns... lol..... I am sorry about your friend and will pray for her/him. You are a simple man and that is what is appealing to your friend, I am sure of that. your friend isn't half as criticle on you as you are on yourself. Your friend understood that everyone is complicated, even your friend. your friend would not want you to be so hard on yourself. that's not what makes up a friendship. you can't go back only forward and we all are still learning about what makes us tick and tock. KEEP CLIMBING THOSE STAIRS AND YOU WILL GET TO HEAVEN ONE DAY! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FRIEND...
