skiing like a madwoman

I skiied again today -- a powder day. It's all come back to me, I feel as confident as I ever did. After a couple of blue runs, I skiied Alta black runs the rest of the day. I treated myself to demo-ing new skis all day, and at the end of the day I bought a new pair!! I ran into some old friends, who did not recognize me. This evening I feel like I've had a steamroller run over me, but I also feel good. I could *not* have done this without WLS. A couple of years ago I had given up skiing forever. OK, Lori -- you've got to try this stuff in the spring, when it's warmer and sunny. Eileen 303/174/150

How exciting! I have never skiied before. Do you think next winter when I am thinner, you could find me a cheap hotel nearby and teach me? I think if I start collecting aluminum cans now I might be able to save enough to pay for a cot at the Salvation Army Mission! I'm glad you had such a great day! Seven

Seven, Come out and stay with me. I live alone, well almost, I have 9 cats! But, I do have an extra bed. We could be rookie skiiers together! Maybe Eileen could teach us? Lori 384/260.5/168

A teacher I am not ... Friends don't let friends teach them to ski. But I can cheer anyone on. Eileen

Congratulations, Eileen! How fun to get back to former activities! You go! Kathy

Eileen is a ski bunny again! Woohoo! Don't know if I'll be ready to try skiing by this spring, but, by next year, look out! Lori 384/260.5/168

Wow, Eileen. You go girl! I've never been skiiing. Heck, I don't even know how to rollerskate or ride a bike with fewer than three wheels! I would like to learn to do some of these things, though since becoming outdoorsy and athletic is one of my goals.
