Taking the stairs? 21 floors. I thought, ah, let me walk down the stairs to go buy lunch since I need to get some stuff done and don't have time to go out for lunch. Okay, not so bad going down (hmmm, think that's what my first boyfriend said to me, kidding), thighs felt a little bit as I ran yesterday. Doesn't help that I am wearing high, heeled boots and a sweater & skirt. So, now that I am feeling healthy, let me buy that lunch.

Hmmm, why not take the stairs back up, yeh good idea. Holy crap, by the 14th floor I was pulling on the railing to try to boost my fat arse up to the next landing. Almost left the salad behind to ease the burden. Man o man, that was not easy. I think for now on, I'll take the elevator. lol

I am going to try to incorporate that to my lunch hour. (probably wont take lunch anymore just to avoid it. lol) either way it's a win win, exercise to get your lunch else you can't have lunch w/out taking the stairs. Have to make sure to have the shorter heel next time.
 
Not to bring up a sore subject, but God, those poor firemen that go into these burning buildings (trade center comes to mind as I remember being here and seeing it explode/collapse).

I am complaining about heels, those poor guys/gals have about 50 pounds of gear!

Okay, now that my heartbeat is back under 100bpm's and I have stopped gasping for breath, maybe I can have my lunch :D

I know this is a bad attitude, but dam n glad it's Friday and I'll be away on business for a few days next week, means I don't have to torture myself to climb those stairs!:ack2:

Me and my bright ideas!
 
you're lucky that you're actually allowed to use the stairs - so many buildings i worked in new york city stairs were off limits unless it was an emergency
 
More power to you for getting to the 14th floor even. I live on the 12th floor of an apartment building, and I thought about walking up, but I would start slow. Maybe walk up 2 today and 3 tomorrow. It is really very good excersise, if you don't die in the process.
 
You know what's funny is we occupy about 6 floors in the building and at our entrance to our staircases there are cameras.

So, the first camera spotted me on floor 10 had a pant going on. then about 20 seconds later hit floor 11 and more panting, hit floor 12 about 40 seconds later, by floor 15 the security guy watching the shots was probably laughing his arse off as it now took me 15 minutes to go 5 floors. lol. I don't know how long but must of been funny to watch.

Next time have to remember to hold my breath and smile as if it's a piece of cake!!! lol

Funny Mal, can't remember walking the stairs when I worked at 1 NY Plaza. I know I was able to walk in the stairs at the wall st bldng, but my comp owned the building.

Hey Busy, it is a good workout, tough one.
Maybe since we r both in NY, we can do the empire state building slow crawl, forget the damn run thing. lol

Give me 6 months to get in shape. If I can master my 12 floors a few times, then maybe. LOL! :ack2:
 
You got it!
I am really going for a life change this time. No restrictions, but want to get my food and exercise back on track.

Let's get busy, busy. :) I wish I could find a place where I could just go and dance.

:smilielol5: Best. Visual. Ever. Seriously, dude, this cracked me up!!! Never leave a man...er....salad behind!!! :D

Man, that sounds like some GREAT exercise. Wish there were taller buildings around in this podunk town.
 
Yeh, it was quite comical. I even had to laugh at myself.

I wish I didn't have my laptop bag as i would do it in the morning when I come in. Then instead of being 10 minutes minutes late to work,more like an hour!


My goal is to do it everyday I am in the office. Hear me now, speak to me later.
