...that is the number of stairs i have to climb each time i go to my classroom on the third floor. i love it! it's great exercise, and i enjoy being up on third floor up in my own little world. i figure that i am up and down the stairs at least 10 times every day- so theoretically i should be in top-notch shape, however i am carrying a few extra pounds in the tummy area. "top-notch" shape may not be the best description right now. my prego sista and i get slower by the day as we climb that mountain of stairs together. we can hardly carry a conversation because we're gasping for breath. it won't be long and we'll both be skinny moms, rather than enormous pregnant ladies!
