Changes

Apr 21, 2009

About six weeks ago my 3 yr old niece asked me to jump on a trampoline with her and I told no because I was too fat to jump. Her mom (my nephew's very fit wife) asked me how long I was going to try to use that excuse because in case I didn't know, I was not too fat to jump.  I said it was my story and I was sticking to it!  Fast forward to tonight.  My cousin's 2 year old wants someone to go outside and play with her.  The evening is beautiful, so I go with her.  She asks me to take her to the trampoline and I do.  I decide I am going to try to get on with the assistance of a flimsy ol' chair they have out there.  Will it work?  Won't know until I try.  Sure enough, I get on.  I sit there with her, but with the innocence of a child, she suggest I play with her like her friends do and that means jump.  I get up and can bounce a bit but cannot find the courage to actually allow my feet off the canvas.  I do that a few times and then I go for it.  Here I am 11 months later and 212 lbs later - jumping on a trampoline.  Yep - my life is full of changes.
