New Milestones
As an incentive to exercise I bought some really cool rollerskates
last spring when I was about four months post-op. I tried to skate
and my center of balance was so way off from being heavy I couldn’t
even stand up in the things. They’ve been gathering dust for almost
a year and on a whim I thought I’d try them again yesterday. I CAN
SKATE!!!! I skated for about an hour, up and down the hallways of
my apartments and then through the corridors and out to the parking
garage and all over the sidewalks. I’m a skating mad woman.
Also three days ago I went with a friend who was golfing and I was
just going to drive the cart. I’ve tried golf before surgery and my
big boobs got in the way of swinging the clubs and I was so self
conscious I couldn’t do it. Well, after much cajoling from my
friend and her other golf partner I was talked into playing and I
played a whole round of 18 holes and did surprisingly well. I
parred a couple holes and chipped in once and was playing right
along with the other gals.
I’ve found two new things I can do and that I like to do. Every day
I surprise myself. It’s amazing what 140 pounds will hold you back
from doing.
