HUGE NSV for me. Never lose sight of your goals!!!

Jun 13, 2009

Yesterday my DH and I took our boat out for the first time in two years. Why did we not take it out in two years??? Because I got tired of having to sit on the boat and sweat while everyone else skied.

So yesterday was the big day to try again. Off we go with me NOT expecting success. But I DID IT. I WATER SKIED for the first time in 10 -12 years.  In the last few years I did try, occasionally, but could not hold onto the rope long enough to get up. It would get yanked right out of my hands. Yesterday I just popped right up out of the water. I'm not sure how much of that is attributed to weight and how much to strength training. I don't care. I did it, and I did it 3 times. I was having so much fun I didn't want to stop. I forgot how fun it was.  My DH was ecstatic. Now he gets to go boating a lot again.

Sore muscles today are worth it. I LOVED IT!!! WoooHooo!

So now I can add that to my list of things I used to love to do, then couldn't, now can again!!!  Not bad for a 51 year old woman! All you newbies out there...keep your eye on the prize. This surgery will open all kinds of new doors for you!!!
