Bodytime

I used to be overweight.

You'd make that face too. 165ish lbs. I'm 5'2".
6/2011

I used to be depressed about it. 

I was never strong, I never had energy, I never wanted to move my body.

Now I do. 

And I like it.

Today at the park, Averie was pretty impressed that I can play with her on the monkey bars, and that I like to play with her on all the various park equipment. I never really thought much of the mothers who sit on the sidelines talking on phones while kiddos run at the park, because I have always been that mom. Today, I was the kid. I tried every single piece of equipment. 

I can: 

• slide down a fire pole
• climb back up said fire pole
• go across the monkey bars
• hang upside down
• do ONE pull up. 
• climb a rope
• jump over tires
• climb through tires
• swing on a tire
• and much, much more.

The best part of my day, was when Averie said, "Mom you are so much fun to play with". I will NEVER be one of the sideline moms again. Ever.

Oh, and I let Av get a pair of wedges today, thus cementing favorite parent status.
