I don't think she has that much weight to lose but her problem is her stomach and she's trying to shrink it down.
Anyway, she works in a building with 11 flights of steps. She works on the 10th floor. She's now climbing 6 flights of steps daily. She used to huff and puff climbing just 1 set of steps.
I don't think her weight is a big issue but her fitness level can stand a huge improvement and I bugged her some about that when I was living in San Antonio briefly.
She's 68 and would not do anything where she had to get on the floor like yoga because she had a hard time getting up off the floor. I told her she needed to try to work on that and focus more on fitness than her stomach.
I wanted to post this just to say that I'm proud of her for making an effort to do something now and climbing 6 flights of steps daily to me is great. She didn't seem to think that was of much importance before but now she's trying and I'm proud of her.

Thanks for sharing that, song. It's a very nice post. Congrats to your mom. She's come a long way.

Been doing some gardening at my Aunts house. Came home with a bunch more Hostas so I ended up doing some gardening at my house!

The rain decided to bypass us. Sprinklers are on again. Oh well.

I can climb 6 flights of stairs but I'm sure I'd be puffing some. I can tell by climbing some of these hills here. Whew!!!

Thanks for the cheers for my mom everyone.
I've tried to get her to sign up on CD and she won't do it. Maybe someday she will.

Let her lurk for a bit, she'll see how much fun we can be!
