Yesterday was an awesome day for me. Something has suddenly come alive in me and I'm loving it....let me explain. Its been coming for awhile, this new me. It started in Oct when we were on holidays in Colorado, I went up the side of a mountain in a gondola (extreme fear of heights) but I psyched myself up to do...AND I DID!! This week with my inlaws visiting we went up inside the St.Louis Arch (height 630 ft) and peered out the teeny tiny windows to the ground. And last night.... I went downhill skiing for the first time!!! What a blast!!! The boys scouts sponsored a ski night for half price, from 7pm to 3 am. Night skiing...YEAH!!! We skiied for over 4 hours, and took turns taking care of 7yo ds on the bunny slopes. It didn't matter that I only did the bunny slope BUT I DID IT!!! I 'll never forget hearing my ds say..." thats my Mom, awesome!!" It was sooo thrilling. Another Mom, sat in the lodge for 5.5 hours waiting for her family to finish up. She was still waiting when we left at midnight. She couldn't believe that I would go......hehe!!! I feel so fantastic, and let me tell you.....a year ago I wouldn't have even considered it because of my weight, I would have felt content to sit out. THIS IS SUCH A BREAK THROUGH!!!! Makes me think....what is next?
This is my year...2006!!!
That is so great! I can't count the number of times I missed doing something because of my weight. I look forward to the new activites that I will be able to participate in soon.
