I did it, I climbed stairs!

Day 11-- Whew... I had a busy day today. Most importantly I climbed stairs today without even realizing I had done so. I jogged on the treadmill for only about 1/2 a mile, but it was a lot faster than I was used to. I got off tired, but I did some laundry and was all better. I also did some more of the Wii Fit, I love that game. I mean where else can you have fun and work out. My little Mii was so cute today when I hit the 30m mark and needed a break. I did more yoga breathing, the half moon, something where I stretch my thighs, a torso twist, leg extensions, some step aerobics, squats, hula hoop and I ran for 5m. I was also ecstatic that I beat all my high scores today! Of course being the Disney fans that we are, we went to see the Toy Story /Toy Story 2 double feature in 3D. I was carrying our drinks and climbed up the stairs to the stadium seating without realizing I had done it proper and without holding the hand rail. I had completely forgot for a moment that I couldn't climb stairs and I did it. Knowing that I climbed those stairs was the highlight of my day. DisFanatic is the one who had to tell me that I had done it. I can't wait to climb some more.

Living in New Mexico we are known for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta with hot air balloons, so we are doing that this weekend. If non of you know what it is like it is amazing. The concession area is 1/3 of a mile, so if you want breakfast you have to be prepared to walk. Supposedly this is the largest Hot Air Balloon event in the world.

Today had been a great day. I am realizing that I am getting better and it is because I believe I can do it. Okay, partly because of my Wii Fit. Now I just need to go and buy the new Wii Fit Plus and the EA Active for the Wii. Gotta love Nintendo for keeping me fit. I was just remembering today when they came out with the running pad for the Nintendo (NES), seems like just yesterday when I was a kid running on that. Now, I am an adult running on the Fit Board for Nintendo. Boy have we come along way.

I think I will just have to do the treadmill at the hotel tomorrow.
