X-post NSV GOAL @ almost 1 year

Well, most of you know that I have taken up ice skating again, and even competed last month. One of my goals for the past several months has been to land a jump, any jump, by my surgiversary date. Well, last night, I learned, and landed several bunny hops. I know to some people, a bunny hop is no big deal, but I'm over the moon thrilled about it. Once I can to that well, it will be time to learn the waltz jump. I would have never thought my journey would lead me to something I love so much. One of the "side effects" of my VSG and this activity is that I am finally learning to live in the moment and enjoy it, and to do things for myself. I just had to share this victory with you.

Its great you found exercise you enjoy!  I so need to find something like that :)  I fall on my but constantly skating so it wont be that LOL Now with no bottom padding it would even be worse.

 

 

I love this post. I bought a pair of ice skates while visiting my kids and grandkids last year, but haven't even tried them out yet. I am hoping that will my WLS, this Winter I will get on the ice with them and and feel more confident that if I fall, I won't have so much weight going down with me!!

Linda, we are so proud of you!!!  I think a bunny hop sounds wonderful (have no clue what it actually is) but Hurray for you, sticking with it and getting there!!!!
