Funnest Goal Yet ~ Met!

Look at me!  I met my number one goal which was to be able to play with my children on the playground. 

That's me flexing my awesomeness up there.

We spent a lot of time at the park on base during our vacation to see my son's graduation from basic training.  I was watching my peeps climb the wall and wondered if I could do it too.  My 17 year old encouraged me so I went for it.

So it's not that far up but I didn't think I could heft my own weight up there with my previously weak upper body.

And I made it.  It was so fun I climbed up again.  And then I conquered my fear of heights(a little tiny bit) and climbed back down.  Now that was a confidence booster!

Three of my boys climbed up with me. 

My husband also played with the kids quite a bit.  That's the first time we've played with them instead of just watching in a long time.

Jacob snuck in a pic of me sliding after I asked him to hold my camera.  Naughty boy! 

It felt so good to get out in the sun and I even got a mild sunburn.  I hope those few days of warmth and sunshine will keep me going until springlike weather reaches our location.

I guess you're never too old for the playground.  I was waiting to take a ride in the lady bug but forgot by the time the kids were finished.  He misses his car, can you tell

This week I'm recovering from a cold we picked up in San Antonio but next week I'll get back to my regular exercise program.  The benefits of eating lightly are that I have lost three pounds and .75 inches since two weeks ago! 


I'm linking up with Fit Mommy Friday over at Tea Time with Annie Kate.
