Just had to share

[Talyon]

This Morning when I got home from the GF's condo, (I live in an apartment 4th floor) the elevator was occupied by someone moving in. Now I do use the stairs to go down quite often but hate using them to go up, as I always have to stop before last flight to catch my breath.

Fyi I'm only 55 and had smoked over a pad for 40 of those years, I'm 5'6" about 165 lbs and not overweight by any means however I had to use the stairs and I thought hmmm, why not I do feel way better and my breathing has improved so,let's do this.

Well I started out first flight at a good pace then the second, almost there I slowed but just slightly for the third and didn't stop before tackling the forth and final,set, at the top I stood just to simply see how I felt and was amazed at the difference I felt, it was amazing.

Now don't take me wrong I don't intend to run a marathon or anything but I really impressed myself.

Today I won a major battle with the stairs, now maybe I should move to an apartment with 5 floors lol


Just had to tell this little victory of mine. Ty for listening. Well reading.

Awesome! Maybe a year from now you will be training for a marathon?

Congratulations! It really does make a difference.

 

[SilentScreams]

Copngrats, thats certainly an accomplishment worth bragging about.

Awesome! I personally noticed that within a week of my vaping and non smoking my breathing improved substantially. I had a slight wheezing from being a pack a day hacker and that went away in the same week. vaping may not be perfect but a heck of a lot better then the cigs

CoNgRaTs! thats pretty awesome!

Wonderful to hear and glad you tackled them stairs!

 

[bfrie]

great to hear vaping actually make a difference! ive been worried about some testing done that showed otherwise.... ill have to tell that the the kids at school who criticize me for switching to ecigs instead of smoking. according to them its "the same thing"

When I quit smoking and started vaping nearly four years ago, I could only hold my breath for about 30 seconds.
The last time I tried, about 6 months ago, I held my breath for 110 seconds with no problem.

That is great....and fun too !
I ( 40 yr. PAD 'burro red' 55 yo) race the high school 'kids' up the stairs after lunch.
Today, we took a walking tour of the historical district of our town...many of the kids could not keep up. (LOL)
Looked back...told some of the boys to 'keep up with the 'old man' !
(I thought it was hysterical... could tell they did not !)

Lets see if the middle schoolers can keep up with DJ RyckRak tonight ???

A condo is like a flat that you mortgage instead of rent.

 

[Rachy_B]

So they're the same thing but one is rented and one is bought? Hmmm...I wonder why you'd have different names for them... cool!x

A Condo is a Condominium apartment, usually more luxurious but not always and u mortgage them same as a house to own.

Initially condos were like tightly packed houses usually with shared walls, some single story, some multiple stories. But now we have "high-rise" condos which are nothing more than apartments that are over-priced. We have different names because one denotes ownership and the other denotes being a renter. Plus the word condo fools people into believing something is worth more than it really is.
