I just wanted to take a moment to share my NSV with all of you. Yesterday the family and I went and canoed the buffalo river. It was a 8 mile stretch and we stopped to swim at the rope swing, I didn't climb up the tree and swing off the rope but I paddled the entire 8 miles and only flipped over 4 times.

Where my NSV comes in is that both yesterday and today, I'm not sore, nothing hurts, no muscle pain or soreness. In fact I feel pretty good. I am sunburn however but that's the extent of it!! I would have never thought this could have ever been possible 8 months ago. At one point the hubby and I were in such a paddling rhythm, the joke was we looking like we were rowing for Yale. No one could keep up with us.

All the exercise I do pays off. I feel younger now than I did 5 years ago.
And I fell in love with it, canoeing was so much fun!!

That is so wonderful! That is really what this is all about, huh! Doing something SO fun that you never thought you could do, and doing it SO WELL!! I think I'm going to add canoeing to my 'bucket list' for when I get a little closer to goal. I bet by next summer I'll be tearing up that river just like you, sweetcakes! Thank you for the inspiration and for that AWESOME idea!
