I went roller skating today!! The last time I went roller skating I was 12, playing a stupid game, fell and had a nasty break to my left wrist which caused all kinds of freakish problems and eventually lead to 2 corrective surgeries.... Today was also my son's first time on skates. I'm sure we were a sight, but we were out there, laughing hysterically, and loving every minute of it. I can already tell my behind and thighs are going to have nasty things to say to me tomorrow but, still, well worth it! I can honestly say 30 pounds ago I would have given up after going around the rink once....if I was brave enough to even put on skates. So yay! Loving life! (and, importantly, no broken bones!!! WOOHOO!!!):biggrin:

that is great!!sounds like fun.

my daughter is dying to try ice skatting...i have not tied that since i was 13 years old and i was not good, my ankles could never handle my weight then, cant imagine now. I want to try new things, but for skating i think i have to give myself some more time to loose weight and tone up...just friday i took them sleiding and i agervated my sciatica..so today i am limping. But no matter what i am getting up tomorrow and working out..

how old is your son? did u fall at all?

Hahaha, nope, no falling, at least on my part...however we did stay in the slow lane close to the wall and railing...Connor (who is 5) wiped out repeatedly but took it all in stride. My butt is killing me today but well worth it! I've always wanted to go snow skiing but figure it'll be the death of me, maybe in a couple years, I tried water skiing once...when I was about 15...sheesh, I am just way too big of a wimp for that. I think we'll keep working on skating for a bit before we branch out. I am contemplating a 5K in a couple months but making the commitment is killing me, I'll probably chicken out. One of the best "side effects" from my surgery and life style changes is that Connor, who is a giant 5 year old and the height of an average 8 year old, has slimmed down amazingly. He's never been fat by any means but has always been just a little chubby. Chubby no more! He is long and lean and the jeans he started the school year in are falling off of him. Yay for us!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
