What am I going through?

Kelly~I am totally with you in going for things I never thought I would/could do before...running, rock climbing, dating!  I think as our bodies transform so do our dreams and wants so I say as long as they are relatively safe and not just impulsive go for it!  I think the Powderpuff races sound like a good option for you and boxing is a great exercise.  Maybe look into getting a Tae-Bo tape or something similar to see how it goes. Embrace the new you!

Nicole, I'm so not used to having all these feelings and wants & dreams........I know my hubby can only handle a little at a time, I think if I sprung all this on him there could be problems......It's so nice to be able to say stuff to all my OH friends......Relief.....I've bottled this up for awhile now and talking to KellyAnn made me think....... I may just try the Powder puff race.......I'd probably come in dead last, but have a blast.....I tend to be a lead foot though out on the highway........ I think I'm going to check in St. Cloud, I'm pretty sure they have a boxing facility or for sure a Golds gym. OMG......I'm getting excited just thinking about doing this stuff........ The Tae-Bo tape is a good idea, I'll go buy that this weekend....Thanks, never thought about that... Kelly

Kelly~I am glad that you de****d to share this with us, keeping things bottled up is never healthy even if they are good things.  I am sorry that you are not able to share all of this with your hubby, perhaps if you slowly introduce these ideas he will pick up on your new found energy and zest for life and follow suit.  Have fun with looking into pursuing these dreams! 

Sounds EXACTLY like I was telling you yesterday.  I'm going absolutely stir crazy.  More daring, dressing differently, wanting to do MORE.  I think its normal.  At least that is what I want to tell myself.  Instead of hiding myself like I did when I was overweight, I want to try things that I could never do before.   Dreams are just one way you learn more about yourself.  Go for it!  Or, buy a Wii system that has a boxing game and a race car game.  :) Kel l

KA, Ya, talking to you made me realize I was burying my feelings.......I'm nervous as to how my hubby will react to all of my dreams, wants, etc. I know he's a wonderful loving, caring man, but I also know not to spring all this on him at once......His head would spin as mine has been doing for the past month........At least one thing is knocked off my lis****er skiing. Oh yeah, clothes.......I have a closet full.......It's so much fun buying now.......And I do tend to buy the more teenage fun stuff......Oh well, I'm sure that will wear off...... I may just try the Powder puff race, You game????   My OH friends will have to come cheer me on if I do it.......The support I've gotton for my WLS is why I'm where I am today........Thanks everyone...... Kelly

Kelly....you go for it girl!!!  Of course I will come and cheer for you!!!   Hugs, connie d

Connie, Yay, that would be so cool.   If I decide to do it, I will let you all know when. Kelly

Think of it as instead of a Mid-Life Crisis.. as a NEW life Opportunity!! *hugs*

Oh great..... THANKS A LOT, KELLY!  Now you've got ME thinking.... Powder puff race?   Raceway Park?  (dear GOD, that would be fun!!!!!....) We used to go to Raceway a few time every summer!  And I've been thinking of getting my family down there again just to watch - so if you DO the powderpuff thing,  FOR SURE let us know!   And if you find out just what it takes to particpate???  Well..... SHARE THAT, TOO!!!!   

Darla, I just left a meeage for Mike at Raceway Park asking the price on the #2 Miller Lite Track Cars for race rental......Are you game???? I'll do it, if you do it???? Maybe some other peep's would do it???? Check out their website @  www.goracewaypark.com They have alot of interesting races coming up..... I'll post the info once Mike calls me back.......I think this would be such a ru**** would make water skiing feel like a cake walk....... Kelly
