I must be insane Part 3

[Jiminy102]

Ok I know I must be totally insane!!!!! We went to best Buy to get a Goofy Phone!! Dh got the cordless Goofy for $4.99!!!! So we went to pick it up and I said hey lets go into the sports store!! And I also Mentioned I wasnted to go into Michael's and jo-Ann Fabrics!! So we went to best buy then went to the sports store!! I needed new shoes and we found a pair!! Great now my feet will not hurt when I walk!! Then we say a rack of Rollar Blades on sale...................well I have always wanted to try rollar blading but am afraid of getting erally hurt if I fall!! SO I figured when I loose some more weight I will get a pair of Rollar Blades and try it!! Wellllllllllllllllll they had a pait that fit me for $21.99!!!!!!!!!!!! sO i BOUGHT THEM!!!! Now mind you I have NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INtention of doing more than putting them in the closet for now!! Ok maybe I will figure out how to put them on and try to stand in the living room. But until I get a full body bubble paded suit I am not trying them out ............not yet anyway!!!! I am 32 and am totally loosing it!!!! Can someone tell me why I thought buying these rollar blades was a good idea???

I think not. WOW, what a motivator. You are planning on getting out and getting a ton more exercize. And you are being smart about it, I think. While a body suit of bubbles may be a bit too much, you need to have wrist, knee and elbow guards, and a really good helmet. And wear them all correctly, especially the helmet. Take is really slowly at first, and if you fall, let your self, don't try to stop it with your hand, that is the perfect way to break something. I admire you for getting ready to try something new. I am not that adverturesome.

Good luck and DON'T break a leg!

OMG...you guys have got to know Jiminy....do I think you are insane....YES!!!!!! ROFL I WANT A PICTURE WHEN YOU GET ON THESE.....DAAAVVVEEE.....GET THE CAMERA OUT!!!!

But I agree with Marsha....you are getting motivated to do more when you lose more...that in itself is great and not insane!!!!!

Now my question is.....if you tried them on in the store and they fit, why didn't you stand up there in them??????

 

[Jiminy102]

Oh I stood on one in the store to make sure they fit!!!! I was not about to try moving around in them since they were chained together that would have hurt!!!

Guess I have to join you in the insanity category then! Last night DH & I went for a walk after dinner and at one point he said "youll be jogging by the end of summer". I said I would not, my knees will NOT take that pounding. And then just to prove I could if I wanted to I jogged half a block! And boy could I feel it this morning. It was not a good idea.

So be careful! Definitely wear the protective gear and meanwhile, I will try to hobble back to my walking routine.

Way to Go Jiminy!!!! Rollerblading is SOOOO Much Fun!!!...You are NOT INSANE!!! I am 32 and I rollerblade all the time!!!. I cannot walk...it is just plan boring to me.

Here is my advice...start slow....if you have a stroller or maybe a neighbor who would let you borrow one...start off using that...it will help you stablize yourself. (if you but a baby in it...it will make it look more convincing that you are not just using it for balance...lol).

Once you get the hang of balance....you need to work your way up to getting your feet and ankles used to the boots. They will start to burn...this is normal...just make sure you are wearing thick socks!!!. This is what has worked for me!!! AND I Love It!!!

(plus you really do look cool, when you get the hang of it)!!

LOL Jiminy! I actually have a pair of Roller Blades in my closet, but I can't stand up on them! I don't know why, as I am sure I would love to learn to do this, but for some reason they just don't like me? LOL Someday I will actually dig them out and use them again...or attempt to anyway!

Good Luck!

Hey Beanie wanna borrow my full body bubble suit????

 

[RaySharpton]

Wow, that's so cool Jiminey. It sounds like you have a plan and you got a great deal. When you go to WDW in October, maybe you can get some pointers from those rollerblade guys in the Animal Kingdom Park Tarzon(sp) show.

I think that I could ever rollerblade.

You are truly an inspiratiion.
