I'm knackered, completely knackered.
I never wanted to do something so much in all my life, apart from to shag robbie williams, and the bloke that plays alex in dark angel!
seriously.
i am not a portswoman in any way shape or form. sporting prowess doesn't come naturally to me, in fact it doesn't come at all. school pe lessons were the most hated experiences of school, and taught me to loath sport rather than love it so i have always shirked away from sport, well taking part in it.
then i moved here, and my life changed i've learnt so much about myself and learnt just how much i can do. i have tried so many sports here, all water based and have been not much good at any of them, but i've given them all a bloody good go. As i said i am not a sportswoman i have no balance and i guess i'm pretty negative.
and then monday happened.
i was scared i admit it, i was, i was shitting myself and yeah i was fecking awful and hopeless. and then tuesday came and went and as i said i improved. then last night and again i made a little progress.
tonight.
i am so fecking proud of myself.
i have worked so hard. and for once in my life i am starting to really enjoy sport. skiing. for me, tonight things really started to click into place. i got brave, went up a little higher, managed to execute a controlled turn, and stop! i got braver went a little higher, and whilst everyone else was off the slope for a break i climbed a bit higher and whilst everyone else was enjoying hot chocolate i had the slope to myself. slowly i managed not one turn, but two! so i climbed a little higher and tried once more, and feeling a little braver went for it again managing a couple of turns and a half all in control. by the end of the break i was skiing slowly, but i was skiing and i was turning 4 times! letting out shouts of yes as i nailed them.
by the end of my lesson i had ventured right to the top of the slope and was negotiating my way down slowly, but in perfect control, executing my turns and smiling.
i am so proud of myself. i have never wanted to succeed at anything so badly. when i look back at monday i have improved so much in fact looking back at monday i could never have dreamed that i am where i am today, and hopefully a lot better tomorrow too! i even started getting frustrated with myself for not getting enough speed up, well a bit faster anyway. i am so so chuffed.
who would have thought? i wouldn't
aching a bit, but hey i've even lost weight since monday! will post tomorrows progress and whether i manage to earn a certificate!
the only new years resolution i've ever kept,
living life to the full
Love
L

ps get well soon scarlet baby xx |
