Throwing Away the Crutches

Hello all.  This is a vulnerable one. In case you're wondering about the title, it's not referencing my newly pulled back that occurred while dumping out a bag of mulch Sunday night.  Not lifting it... dumping it.  It's been a week full of back braces and squishy ice packs .  Yay. Saturday I forced a weigh in, at least for myself.  We basically haven't weighed in since January.  From that point on it was dealing with holiday weight gain and all of our projects (bathroom reno, finishing that reno, carpet installation on the stairs, work instability (still going on) then the never-ending saga with the water coming in on the subfloor/roof hole, etc) so our lives were just fitting in walks where we could when it was cooler.  We actually did that quite a bit until the weather got unbearable.  When I had to go in for my vulvoscopy June 3rd, I accidentally caught a glimpse at my weight and it leveled me.  I was 10 lbs higher than when we came bac...

King Kelly does it again

I was so excited to watch Kelly Slater win the 2013 Fiji Pro in Tavarua, Fiji. 


For those who don't follow surfing, Kelly is a 41 year old surfer who is still schooling the younger up and comers even though by surfing standards he's considered the "old man" of the bunch.  He's pretty consistently in the top five and watching him is like watching a true master at work.  While the other guys were all taking a break after their heats two days ago, Kelly went out and surfed because he loves surfing whether he's competing or not.  His dedication, physical conditioning, mental confidence, leadership and letting age be a number and not a boundary, keep me coming back to watch him do what he does best.  He's a true inspiration to not only stay active but to keep doing the things you love.

Do you admire a particular athlete?  Do they inspire you to keep your fitness goals in check?

    So glad he won. That is awesome. It doesn't matter what your age is if you've still got the passion and he is living proof of that.

    I admired John Stockton, point guard for the Utah Jazz basketball team when I was learning to love basketball, for all the same reasons.
