I went rollar skating last night. I am hoping to join in the spring. I have about 25 girlfriends in the leagues in 3 cities. One of them was president for the Norfolk league she recently died of cancer. If she can skate ANYONE can, she was already very ill when she joined but she got stronger from the practices. You will love it. It is great excerise. You want to see big girls? check out Baltimores teams. Those are some big girls.

What a tres cool idea! I'm glad you've decided to at least try out. And what a fun way to get exercise! I loved to rollerskate as a kid.

Hey, remember that Roller Derby episode on Laverne & Shirley? HA! What a throw back.

My Dad's friend asked if I wanted to join the women's football team. Maybe I'll get up enough courage to try out in the spring...

What an empowering idea!

Well I got my butt out to the skating rink today and I did pretty good! Not bad for not being on skates in 10 years! I sure am sore tonight though.

I got an email tonight about try outs. Jan 25th is coming up fast. I can't wait!!

Go to the official website of registered names. You can not have any name that someone already has but it will get you thinking up names fast. My girlfriend who was president of DOminion Roller Girls Of Norfolk had a great one : Traylor Crash, her name has been retired since her passing over the summer. That is what is so cool about it. Once you have a name it is yors for keeps, so think it out and make sure you like it. ! Goodluck!

Kinda late on this but do it! I am part of the Molly Roger Rollergirls and I love it. I am 260 lbs currently I even Jam from time to time. Yes thats right the bigger girls can jam to! I am one of the harddest hitting blockers on my team as well and no one on my team thinks it has anything to do with my weight either lol. So try it out. Roller derby is not the sport for everyone but its a lot of fun if you comit your self to it and being bigger doesnt mean you cant play trust me.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
