My first soccer game is tonight!!! UPDATE: I am still alive!!

[rbuzzotta]

Please think of me between 7PM and 8 PM!! I will be playing in my first women's soccer game!!

Our team is composed of mother's from our childrens schools!! WE haven't even held a practice yet!! Our first opponent is another women's team that is from the same school and we are ALL friendly!! Should be a blast!!

I haven't played soccer since I was a kid...........a long time ago.


Turning 40, eating healthier, losing weight and getting exercise is for me in 2003!!! and beyond...................

Have Fun! What a great way to hang out with the ladies. You know, the kids favorite part of the game is snack time after. What are you guys going to do for refreshments?
Let us know how it goes!

Keep the Faith!

You are so brave! I would love to sign up for a softball team or something, but I have never played sports--other than gym class and I was ALWAYS the last kid picked! Just not brave enough to try.

We (the whole family) are going rock climbing again this Sunday!

Wow!!! Let us know how it goes! I would love to get back to playing organized sports, but I need to get fit first so where I'm not out of breath after a short jog.

I've just started my journey, but hopefully I will get to do this point soon.

Best of luck to you! Hope you scored a GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

I will keep you in my thoughts tonight when you are playing Rosemary. Good luck.

It should be lots of fun. I have a friend that plays indoor soccer and she loves it. Great excercise!

 

[rbuzzotta]

Thanks for all your support!!!

I am nervous but I know we will have fun. WE are in it for the fun and exercise, not necessarily to win.......although a win would be nice. We play every Friday night for the next 8 weeks!!! I made the committment and will keep it..........regardless of how I feel in the morning!! LOL!!!

Ooops. Sorry Rosemary I just now saw this. I suppose it's a tad late for good luck pd or prayers for no ambulance time tonight.

How did it go? No injuries, I hope.

I really admire you for doing this, you are just so determined and doing <i>so</i> well.

How did it go Rosemary??? I know you had a great time!!!! Check in we are curious

 

[TigH]

Oh, Rosemary! How did it go? It must have been a great game!!!

Hope to get an update soon!

 

[rbuzzotta]

Well, we lost 12 to 2 but I had a BLAST!!! It was so much fun and boy did I get a work out!!

I had an assist for one of our 2 goals!! I took some Ibuprofen before going to bed last night and woke up at 3:30 and had to take some more! Today I am sore but it is a good sore!!

If any of you have an opportunity to join a team like this I say Go For It! It is just so much fun. We had lots of laughs and got alot of exercise!! WE also went out to celebrate and I enjoyed my Michelob Ultra!!!

Thanks for all your support. You know where I will be for the next 7 Friday nights!!! Playing Soccer...........this is a new meaning to the name Soccer MOM!!

 

[Beanie]

Rosemary, that is wonderful that you had a great time!! It sounds like so much fun and what a wonderful workout it must have been! Sorry you are sore today, but I am sure once you do it each week, it will only get better!! Good Luck next week!

 

[Hannosmom]

Wow, that sounds like such a blast! I used to play volleyball, when I was much younger ( in my 20's). Now I think I'd have to play on the "very old and out of breath" league.

I think you're very brave and I'm happy you're having such a great time!

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game! And it sounds like you had a HECK of a great time out there on that field! Congrats on your assist! That is awesome!!!!

Thanks for the update. You are making me think I want to take up a sport too. DH is a golf nut....hmmmm. This is good food for thought! I never would have considered golfing before, but it sounds appealing. Rosemary, you are certainly inspiring!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

 

[Lynn CC]

Sounds like a lot of fun Rosemary or should I say Soccer Mom, LOL. I'm glad you like it!
I'll have to try one of those Mich. Ultra next time I have the opportunity.

 

[nativetxn]

I'm so glad you had so much fun, Rosemary. I hope the soreness goes away soon. Good job!

 

[Desiree]

Glad to hear you had such a great time and congrats on your assist!!!!

I wanna go find something to play now too!!
