So I was over reading on Becca's blog at Size 24 no More and was thrilled to hear how she walked a big hill today that in the past she was only able to do huffing and puffing on the way up but this time had no problems! I love that feeling you get when you are anxious to try something you haven't in a while and not quite sure if you can do it yet, but once you accomplish it you've got this high that no one can take away from you. It's glorious!
I had this feeling yesterday! It was unexpected. I didn't even plan on showing up to the park because Jett was still gone with his other grandmother at the time so it was just me. I saw a couple of my girlfriends talk on facebook about meeting up at the park to hang out though and decided I would surprise/stalk them and show up, too. :)
After chatting and just hanging out for awhile me and one of the other girls decided to go up this big rocket ship slide. We both hadn't been up it in a while and she is also on a similar weight loss journey as me. We were so excited to be able to pull ourselves up through the ladder holes without having to squirm and wiggle our thighs and shoulders just to get up there.
Upon deciding to go down the slide I didn't quite realize it but apparently the last time I went my thighs were soo huge that they stuck to the sides and so I went down very slowly. I wasn't really thinking about it and so when I pushed over the edge I flew down that sucker screaming! Hahah! I went sooo much faster this time around and it was great!
That looks like too much fun. I love doing things that people don't expect or think I can't!

ReplyDeleteThanks! it was a blast! I didn't even care who the hell was giving me funny looks for being up there. lol
Aww thanks for the mention! I saw those pics and was so excited for you, but didn't want to be a jerk and say anything until you did lol!! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when you realize little things like that. Like when I realized that I didn't take up MUCH more than my fare share of the seat on the bus anymore. I have such a fear of heights that that slide looks scary to me lol!
ReplyDeleteAwesome feeling, I love those little 'surprises' that you encounter with losing weight :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletehahahah I haven't been on a slide in years...thanks for the idea, I am totally gonna have to try that! Great pics!!!
ReplyDeleteNO problem Becca! Lorrie, it was very wobbly up towards the top. lol. But its been like that ever since I was a kid. That thing has been there forever and repainted every so many years. lol. Thanks Kristin, and Bonnie I want pictures or it didn't happen! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I haven't even thought about doing something like this. We have a park about a mile down the road from our house, and my kids love going. Once, my now 3 year old went up and almost got stuck in this fortress thing. Well, there was no way I could go get him down, lol. But I bet I could now :). They usually stick to stuff like swings and ride on animals now, and don't go up in the obstacle course thing or whatever. I *may* can go with them now. You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteOH that is awesome! Congrats, it looks like so much fun. Those experiences are great and you should bask in the awesome feeling!
ReplyDeleteNatoria, yeah Jett is just now 3 and he loves going up to the top at mcdonalds in the tubes and i used to be way too big to move through them before but now i can go up in there and chase him around and not even hurt much afterwards. lol. just my knees a little bit. but I don't feel too big anymore.
ReplyDeleteApril, Thanks I absolutely love that I can do things like this and enjoy my son's childhood with him. Even though this time it was just me goofing off. haha
