What am I going through?

I'm going through something here and want to know if others are going through it too......... Lately I want to do so many things, try so many things......I haven't mentioned too much to my hubby yet, one thing at a time....... 1st- Being interested in flight attending, I think this is normal. 2nd- Interested in boxing, not necessarily against people but things?  I want definition in my arms, not body builder type, but definition, and I heard boxing is good for this.   3rd- Racing cars?  I've always had a interest......But man, I'd love to go to Raceway Park in Shakopee and get on that track and let it rip...... Why am I having all these slightly dangerous thoughts & wants? I feel like I'm going through Mid-life crisis or something........ So anyone else been doing a little dreaming like this????? Kelly

Oooh Kelly, you could rent one of the cars and race in the Powderpuff races at Raceway! My step-son races there sometimes and his wife has raced in the Powderpuff! It's normal for you to want to do things you maybe couldn't (or didn't think you could) do before! I say GO FOR IT!!! You only go around this crazy world once! I'll do the Powderpuff with you next year!

Heidi, Your on......Next year, you & me, racing in the powder puff. Cool......... I might just try it yet this year, I'll have to ask hubby and see what he thinks...... I'll let you know.....Maybe my OH friends could come cheer me on???? Kelly

Kelly: I don't think it is a mid-life crisis.  You are about to make a major transition in your life with your son going off to school this fall and with your spectacular weight loss success, you probably have more energy than you have had in a long time.  Transitions and the uncertainty that goes with them can be empowering, exciting, joyful or they can be scary.  Choose the positive possibilities.  I agree with the other posters that you should try a few of the things you mentioned, especially the powder puff race!  Good luck!

RP, Thanks for the nice comments.....I wish more guy's would post on here....It's nice to get a guy's perspective too...... Ya, alot is happening......My life has changed so much in the past 6 months......And it is scary, exciting, etc.  So if I would do the powder puff race, Do you think I could get all of you to come cheer me on? Or maybe some of you would do it with me? Kelly

I think this is normal...we have all had dreams that we squashed because we were too heavy to do them, or thought that we couldn't because of our weight. Now that you have lost all that, they are coming out of hiding because you can now do them and aren't hindered by your size.  I have to say - GO FOR IT GIRL! What a fun time some of those things will be. I know that I want to skydive...I couldn't before - I was above the weight limit - so now I am saving up to go do that.  Can't wait! Have fun with those things...and let us know how they were, you might encourage someone else to try it too!

Laurie, Whew, I'm normal........  I'm afraid of heights, otherwise I would have sky dived with ya......... Maybe someone else would do the powder puff race with me???? Anyone???? Kelly

yup-I think we get a little braver when we start feeling good about ourselves....me, I would like to go skydiving next year when I turn 50. crazy?  yeah, but it would be FUN

Lynn, Laurie wants to sky dive too.....Maybe you guy's can do that together....... Kelly

Lynn, What month do you turn 50? I'll be 50 next May!! Maybe we could do the skydiving together. We could be the 2 Foxie Granny's SkyDiving!!! WooHoo!! Wanna? I'm game!!! CarolN
