From Kristen: I did it! I mastered the 10 flights of stairs at work without breaking a sweat. One year ago, I tried to do this and stopped at floor 5, convinced I was going to pass out or my heart was going to beat out of my chest. It took me about 10 minutes to recover enough to go back into the office.
Today, except for a 10-second rest on floor 8, I was able to walk all the way up to 10 in no time and carry on a conversation right afterward. This is so needed because the scale didn’t show much progress this week. Good thing the non-scale victories are just as sweet.
