Experiences I never thought I'd be ble to have!
 

Next week its my Birthday! YAY and the following weekend to celebrate We're trying out Kayaking!!!! And Possibly scuba diving I'm nervous but very psyched! :carrot:
I wouldn't have been able to even Dream of it without WLS!

OMG--that sounds like an AmAzInG time! I am starting to play tennis soon. Don't you just LOVE the thought of doing these kinds of things? It is like grabbing life! Have fun!

VERY COOL !!! how exciting, good for you Kier.

That is awesome, congrats!

I am going to try kayaking in the next month or so. I also want to do rock climbing but would like to get under 200 lbs before I try that.

Well Happy Birthday to you! Have a wonderful time kayaking, its is so exciting to live life.

I'm just enjoying being able to scrunch up in bed and bring my legs up onto the chair with me! Still working on crossing them comfortably :(
Congrats and enjoy yourself! It really seems like all the little things are what make you feel the best.

Oh KO, how wonderful!!! Everyday I think I discover some positive way that weight loss has affected my life. I ran, RAN, NAR, RAN, out to the garden a minute ago to get some thyme for my chicken and it was pouring down the rain!!!! ME RUNNING!!! Hope I don't out perform my artificial knee before I'm through !!!! LOL!!!

psssst - leenie - wanna see if we can go watch kier on her first kayaking trip?????

congratulations on this HUGE step, Kier - i've wondered about kayaking - ya gotta tell us ALL about it!!!!!!

Not this weekend where my big fete will be surviving an all you can eat Pig roast for 6 hours. But next weekend to celebrate me becoming a Palindrome 33! I'll definitely give you all the play by play!
WE're opting out of scuba I want to be a stronger swimmer first

KO- you will love kayaking. It is really low stress on your joints, and it is SO empowering just gliding through the water, getting your rhythm with the stroking. In terms of balance, the guide always had us kind of the hula with our hips once we were in the kayak to show us that is where our center of power and control is. As a woman, knowing our hips are in control is kind of cool- the guys sometimes don't get it (don't even know where their hips are) . Congrats!
