I went skateboarding during my 30 minute lunch break yesterday for the first time in awhile. It was definitely tiring and it’s a little frustrating since it’s like I’m starting over again, but I think alot of it has to do with how out of shape I am in. I didn’t start skating again at this weight, I started again after I lost 55 lbs, but now I have gained 40 of those 55 lbs back and it definitely affects my balance and coordination. But I had fun and just stuck mainly to grinding and just riding around trying to get my legs and feet and body used to skateboarding again. It’s nice to go during the day while school is in session as there are usually no kids, not that I mind skating with kids, it’s just nice to have more of an empty park as I try to get my groove back. My head is in a better place this time around, I got so obsessed with skateboarding when I started back up in 2004 and that was all I ever thought about because it allowed me to escape my responsibilities as an adult, but that proved to be destructive so now I’m just enjoying any skateboarding I get to do in moderation…oh geez, what is this, skataholic’s anonymous? 🙂
I also made some changes to my blog today, I like how this shows more of my entries in a smaller space, although I don’t like how the images get distorted in the previews, but I can live with it. I think it’s more fun to look at this way…kinda like a magazine or something…
This is such an endearing post. Keep the dream alive, get on that board!
