Last night I challenged myself to take all 4 flights of stairs at Universal Studios (from the lower lot to the upper lot). It is a total of 345 steps and I have tried three other times only to give up halfway and take the escalators. Boo!

BUT last night I successfully took all 345 steps, no breaks, and when I reached the too it took all my strength to resist doing the Rocky victory dance! haha I felt so great for having finally done it (and not dying in the process!)

I found this video today of someone else who had done the same thing...and he timed himself!

Now I want to do it again (I know, crazy) and I want to time myself to see how close to his time I can get! haha

Have you ever challenged yourself to do something that felt impossible? What was it and did you succeed? How did it feel? :-D

    Wow wow wow!! That's a HUGE NSV and you definitely should have done the Rocky dance. I worked at Universal about a million years ago so I know this was no small feat.

    I've challenged myself to lose 150 pounds (at least) and it definitely feels impossible. I'll let you know in another couple of years how it feels to succeed. :)

    Congrats again!

    Thanks! I totally have faith that you will make it to your goal! My goal is 100 lbs and it feels like it will take ages to get there. But I figure the time will pass regardless, so even if it takes years its all good! lol
