So, I'm going way out of my comfort zone. In September a new friend has encouraged me to come to her bootcamp. It's twice a week from 9/13 - 10/15 from 9pm-11pm. (seriously - I'm usually in bed by 9pm!) My oldest dd is going with. Initially I had asked about the bootcamp for her - but my friend says how cool it would be for the 2 of us to go together.
It's a bootcamp for roller derby.
Yes, roller derby!
My16 year old has been skating with a jr. roller derby team since January so we've become a derby family. I've been skating more and feel comfortable on skates. (I've always LOVED to skate). Now I probably will never skate in any bouts and that's ok.
So, starting today we are embarking on a challenge her at our house. To get ready for derby bootcamp. We've got a long way to go, but are excited. The great thing about roller derby is that the ladies are so encouraging. You don't have to be a certain size to play. Skaters come in all shapes and sizes.
I did this for my 19 yo. She needs a little help getting involved in things. But I'm finding that I'm so looking forward to it for me too! So, I will focus on getting strong and eating good foods to fuel my body. Putting away the "weight loss mentality" for a while and just going to concentrate on being healthy and active.

My oldest is struggling. She's very hard on herself. The women are absolutely FANTASTIC about encouraging all of us. Dd broke down in tears over how they treated her last week. She has found her * people *.
