Update on my progress! Jimmie, thank you so much for starting this challenge! I'm having serious trouble because of the smoking, can't seem to do much at a time. I need to quit smoking, BADLY! Say a few prayers.. it will be one of the very hardest things I've done. This may sound goofy, but I'm going to try quitting while staying on track with the diet, and THAT is going to be doubly hard. I have one pack of cigarettes left, and after that's gone... all I can say is, everyone better stay out of my way until the nasties pass! LOL

I am VERY impressed with everyone here, I want to be able to breathe again and do great things with climbing!

[[[[[jassygirl]]]]]
i got you marked down for another one done! you're climbing these things at a pretty good clip for somebody who needs to quit smoking.

i'll add you to my list of peeps that need an extra helping of prayer. i never did smoke. tried it once and it just about burnt my lungs up. i could never figure out why anyone would take a second inhale. jack smoked for so many years and he quit. this month it's 6 years. he was up to at least 2 packs a day and just decided one day that was it. he got some patches and only use them for a week, got tired of that, dumped the patch, the cigs and never looked back. he did it and so can you! you might want to check out the addictions forum. seems to me there have been threads started by members who were doing the diet and quitting at the same time.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Oh you bet Jimmie... I certainly do feel good inside. And... I hare up those stairs considerably faster than at the beginning of the challenge .

Jasmain... hang in there! Stairs get easier... and good luck with the nicotine fight. It's a toughie, but soooo worth persevering!

Brrrrrrr ..... should have brought a heavy coat - but then who wants to carry that extra weight up 5,390 steps to the peak of Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland!



Now that I'm here today, you can bet I'll be gone tomorrow on my way to the warmer climes (climbs) of England's Scafell Pike!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Brilliant pic Susan! But it makes me feel cold to the bones!!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

My, my.. .this thread has cooled off quite a bit since my last post. LOL


This will warm things up again, and hopefully encourage even the most self-doubtful to give this challenge a try.

Even a baby can do it!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

ah.... so cute. be careful baby!

i think some of the cooling off is because those of us that are really working this are on climbs that are taking longer now. then there's the ones that hit it flying but then cooled their jets.

i had about 2 weeks worth of not getting started on the next climb so i could catch up with the biking challenge. i did however start on ben nevis yesterday.
myjack is working on his climb but has been doing alot of outside work during the day where there are no flights to climb. he is still trekking upward.
