Just a little self esteem boost!
DD came home from school this afternoon with four tickets to the baseball game. Students at her middle school earned them by maintaining a 4.0 gpa for the entire first grading period of the school year.
We went into downtown and ended up parking about a 10-15 minute walk away from the gates. We walked in and were getting ready to head to our seats which were at the top of the stadium. You know, those ramps that seem to go up forever? Yeah, we had to hike all the way to the top. No big deal. The big deal came for me when we were just starting up the ramp. This woman whose daughter goes to school with mine was just starting up the ramp as well. She's forever telling people how they should take care of themselves, get into shape, etc. She honestly weighs about 120, just a little more than 1/2 of my current weight. Well, we went up the ramp pretty much side by side and I did awesome! No shortness of breath, not sweating, etc. I feel like my 2.75 mile walks are doing some good! I hate to be petty and tell the rest of this, but I'm sure you all can relate. I looked over at this woman and she was complaining about how hot she was from the walk up the ramp. She was breathing very heavily and perspiring heavily too. I seriously wanted to tell her to take some of her own advice next time, but instead I just told her to enjoy the game and went to our seats!
