For the first time in exactly 20 years, I went SKYING on saturday.

I took my 3 kids and husband with me, we had a great family day. It was really hard for me as I was the only one that could help them all. I had to hold my 5 yo all the way up and down, help my 7 yo to get up everytime he felt down, teach my husband (and laugh at him big time !!!!). And all this while re learning myself! Ouf I am not 20 years old anymore.

I discovered the existence of muscles I didn't even know existed! My whole body is in pain!!! I never thought I eould say this (always stuns me when Sharon says it), but it is a pain that feels good!! Hahaha

We are now thinking of buying yearly passes next winter!!!

That is so cool!  I have never been skiing before but my husband and stepsons do it and it looks EXTREMELY hard.  Not sure if I'll ever try cus last year my husband fell and dislocated his shoulder so now he has sworn it off.... but I can just imagine the workout you got!  Great job!!

Hard? Well lets say that my 7 yo son, the next morning, called his daddy in his room and said:"daddy I think I have a problem. Maybe I am sick. My whole body hurts. Here, there(showing everywhere hahahah)"

Me, i have about 5 places on my legs where I am in pain, lower back, arms below and above the elbow, hands(yeah not kidding, cannot give a firm handshake), neck, shoulders, abs etc.... Seriously I went to the gym before, did some weight training but it is nothing compared to skying.

But the feeling of going down the hill, the speed, the fear, the joy.... It was exilarating. Made me feel you again, made me feel like a normal person. Made me feel I could do anything I wanted. Also made me realize that training is not for me. I like and always liked sports.

That's great! I've always been scared of skiing, but maybe at a lower weight it won't seem like such a ridiculous thing :)

It is scary. But overcoming fear is a great reward!!! And the view, the majestic of the mountain, the speed, incredible
