Get out of my way I'm coming through. It was a gorgeous day and my DH decided it was time to get the bikes down and see if they still are rideable. Well...they are and I did!!! I haven't ridden my bike in four years, and "feels good now, I knew that it would now!" The up-grades just about killed me and I didn't get pinched once on my "big-girl" seat! Mostly we did yard work and planted garden, but I was on my BIKE again. Oh, to move and be active again, is a dream come true. When I think about where I've come from physically and where I'm hopefully going, WOOT! WOOT! I thank God everyday for giving me a chance at life again. My DH and I walked to church this morning, and it is about 1 1/2 mile round trip. Remember I'm talking about an old geezer here "57" in June!!! Take heart all of you youngster, if I can get going then you should be leaving me in the dust. Now about the riding lawn mower: I've had the seat back as far as I could get it to accommodate my big, fat belly and my gut still rubbed the steering wheel. I had to pick my leg up and throw it over the steering wheel to get on the darn thing. It jars the crap out of my back and I would walk hunched over for an hour after getting off that thing. Now, I'm going to have to move the seat up and.....I can carry my water bottle between my legs on the seat!!!! Still jars the crap out of my back, but I'm useful and can help out in the yard like a normal person!!!
Catch you all later on the losing side of the bench. Whitelion, you okay? Are they working you to death?

We have one great big birthday bash for all the Juners! My dad's is the 22 of June! I'm the only one in this batch that don't have much talent. They all sing, play instruments, and are very artistic.

Amen Nan! That is wonderful!! It's great to hear I am not the only one on a quest to get her life back! I am grateful to have the chance to be active again! Something I realized in my recent midlife crisis, I can say that I am...an active person!

Today I climbed the rock wall up to 5.5 ft off the ground (2 1/2 higher then last time)...actually jumped off the low dive 4 times!!! (not a butt jump either!)...went down the 2 story slide 6 times and got my nephew to go too. That last one is my favorite thing, my nephew has special needs, is very large and spent most of his time in front of the TV/computer/video games most of his life and now, he learned to swim...conquered his fears of taking the swim test and headed down the 2 story slide on his own! I am very proud of him and his family for becoming more active too.

Oh, and my Brithday is June 6th!
