Feeling Good

I can ski!

It seems that skiing is much like riding a bike - 15 years later and I could still do it. OK so I sat down a couple of times - but it was so fun.

The kids, on the other hand, hated it. The snow was cold and wet and they were tired and grumpy. I spent most of the morning trying to beat the grizzles and keep them happy. Fortunately there were a few big youth group kids that helped entertain them.

They had moments of 'this is fun' ... and now, three days later they seem to be remembering the fun times and not the grizzles.


Weightwatchers News:
I finally reached the magic 10% loss - that would be 10% of my joining weight. But add that to my own efforts before I officially joined ww and I have now officially lost 60kgs!!!!!!!

PIF:
Kris and Karen please p.m me on one of the forums with your addresses and I will send you something. Janine - I know where you live!

Beverly, you are so inspiring!! 60kg, that is just fantastic!! Well done!!!! You should write into one of those mags (Slimming or WW) with your story, you could probably win something!

Sounds like YOU had a fun weekend skiing ... pity the kids didn't like it so much. It does get quite cold and wet though, doesn't it? At least you have some photos of them enjoying themselves so they'll probably want to go back again ;-)

Great that the kids' grizzle-grumps didn't get you down. Woohoo that you can still ski. I never could so I doubt I'll ever get teh knack. And I couldn't stand seeing the 3 yo's whizzing past me like they were born with skis attached!!
Godd stuff on teh weightloss - your *focus* must really be working. I bet you go right past those choccy biscuits on special at the supermarkets at the moment! You must do, cos they end up in My trolley! :)
