skinny goals

[Ariella 73]

I made a list today of things I want to do once the weight comes off. The first two things are Learn to ski and roller skate. What's on your list?

[DestinClair1983 72]

I'm with you on the roller skating! I was just thinking about it the other day. I haven't gone in years because of my weight. Now I'm looking forward to several different activities that I used to love when I was lighter like ice skating, roller skating, bowling (I hated people staring while I was getting ready to throw the bowling ball), running, and Water sports-I love jet skiing and parasailing. The top thing on the list for me is definitely roller coasters! Can't wait to fit normally into the seats and enjoy the rides like I used to.

This is a topic I need to explore in more depth, maybe it will help me get through this frustration of not losing as fast as I want so I can get my surgery date.

Skinny goals:

1. Go back to Ireland and be able to walk without pain or looking for a place to sit every 20-30 minutes.

2. Try cross country skiing .

3. Go swimming again.

4. Discover I might actually like physical activity.

I'm going on a trip to Croatia in the Spring with my very active daughter, son-in-law, and husband. I don't want to be the one saying "No, it's ok - you all go on without me. I'm just fine sitting here."

you will love Scotland miss Mac - I live in North East Scotland and there are some really bonnie parts - do you know which area you hail from?

Oh My, there are so many thanks that I would like to do...

ski-ing, yes,

running - although I'd be content with just walking longer distance to start with

Have lots more photos taken with my family for sure! I so regret not having photos from when they were little, but better late than never! At least I will be living longer now (hopefully), so so many more opportunities

Response to Selena Hay.....maiden name is McCullough, Irish derivative of McCulloch, during the plantation period in the 1600's. My McCullochs resided in Cardoness Castle and Barholm Castle in the Bay of Fleet. The McCullochs were allied with border clans MacDonald, Ross, and Monroe. Once forcibly removed to Ireland, they hung around Randalstown, County Antrim, Ulster.

I tell people I come from horse thieves (Cutlar McCulloch at Cardoness) and Presbyterians (John McCulloch of Barholm is buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh for Harboring John Knox and being part of the Pentland Uprising).

A recent DNA test of my brother takes our McCullochs back to the ancient Stone Builders of Great Britain, and credits us with a Nordic and Viking contribution. That is no doubt where the recessive gene for my red hair comes from. Everyone else in the family has black hair. When I was a teenager, I thought I was a love child, but my birth certificate says

otherwise! I can't wait to be able to travel: I already have a passport.
