Goal (Long):
I have been involved in competitive sports and lifting for most of my life. After competing in powerlifting, bodybuilding and figure competitions for several years I let that part of my life fall by the wayside as my professional career became more and more intense and time consuming. In 2007 I realized that I truly missed being an athlete, so I joined a local all woman's flat track roller derby team and began training hard again. Unfortunately in two separate incidents 5 months apart I injured first my right and the my left knee, requiring surgery on both. After the second injury I just sort of gave up. I couldn't work out, I couldn't skate... I felt like my body had betrayed me and I became very depressed. The depression led to a lot of couch surfing, overeating and partying way too often and pretty soon I realized I had gained about 15 pounds. I have decided now that I want to play semi-pro women's tackle football and am working my way towards that goals a little bit everyday.
I got to play with someone's wii over the weekend and I fell in love with it so much that I went on a quest yesterday to find one of my own. After searching 10 stores I finally found one... so I bought the console and the wii fit. I love it (well, except the trainers in the strength...
Hey!! Just saw your desire to play semi-pro full contact female football too. Unfortunately we will never play each other (different divisions) but certainly is nice to have another "like" soul on this board. Go get 'em tiger!!
Hi Lady, thank you so much for the lovely comment, good wishes, and friendship invite! Best wishes to you on your training for much success - so glad to hear you are mending - tell me about your tryouts! I hope your holidays are wonderful! Jen
Good luck getting your core back to normal. Amazing how all those little muscles tie in together and how when one is tweaked the rest of them don't want to move.
Just thought I'd say hello to a fellow skater! :) Saw your posts on the benching thread. I'm an inline speed skater. I was invited onto a newly forming roller derby team when I lived in NC but declined cause it would interfere too much with my speed skating.
