Chrystee

you peeked my curiosity

What! Why?

I am hoping you are realizing Sharon was joking, but since there isn't a sarcasm font (which the world needs NSA) I just thought I'd make it clear.

LOL, I know. I just still don't know whats going on.. I tried on my phone too, and I can't reply to my last thread I made.. @OKCPirate

busy body! LOL

I was in a month long class for work, overwhelmed and stressed!

oh, were you ever here?? LOL - guess i didn't realize you were gone!!! LOL - nice to see you back - kathy

Good luck and enjoy. Is this your first race, or the first at that distance?

Good luck Chrystee, I heard about that race, I'm up to almost 30 miles in a day, But I'm not where you are yet.

Go get em'. Lisa

So how did it go? I signed up for an 8 mile offroad race here in Michigan in November. Goal is next year to do the 30 mile full off road race. I am new to cycling and can do probably 45-50 miles at a time, but have never raced.

LOL @jane13

thanks!

WOOOT!

Congrats!

@Chrystee - Yes I am lucky. I am in Texas, so it is a quick flight down there so it's easy to go for just 3 or 4 nights. AND that was when I had a VERY good job - from which I got laid off in December. I have a new job which I am lucky to have but SO much less money that likely those trips will dwindle - at least for a while. Hope you get to go back!

@Daisee68 that's no bueno!

LOL!! Agreed!

oh we could do big things in mexico!!

Enjoy!!!!

Mexico and a wedding!!!

Sweet and tomorrow is the 5th - TEQUILA!!! Wonder how much protein that little worm has in it? I know, eeewww ;P

Be safe and if you decide to 'run' take in the scenery...

If the negative comment was something like "You're so full of yourself," it seems the only appropriate response is "Damned right."

Valentina's "plan A":

I have a shovel and a flashlight...

Thanks y'all !

I'm so sad about his death. Truly. @jane13

"Like"...

That's all...

me too and to think he possibly OD just makes the whole thing even more depressing....

It stinks when you are not in a committed relationship, but it wasn't too bad either

@oldbriannomore long story.

I feel ya!

WTG Chrystee!

You have made soo much progress with your WLS and now the RUNNING! 26 will be gone in no time

@LisaLouBop @Boujie @jane13 Thank you!

Me too!!!

Dunno where we'll get it from tho...

@KindaFamiliar I know.. Wish I really could get a million bucks!!

Yay!!

Chrystee - you are an inspiration, just like @Elode and even the ever so wonderful @KindaFamiliar. You share your thoughts and plans (goals) and you make them! You inspire those of us who do struggle, because you have and succeeded

You're too sweet! Thank you!

Thank you @jane13 !

enjoy

I'm just doing two here locally. My first is April 24th and the other isn't until Sept. 18. I'm curious about traveling to do others around the country. Do you have friends/family in those areas. I'd be worried about not having "support people" around to take care of me before and after.

@WLSResources/ClothingExch Thank you!

@oldbriannomore - YESSS

@OKCPirate thanks!

@KindaFamiliar - it is a half marathon in VA Beach

@jane13 LOL

Well in that case - Well done!!!

It's not something I can ever see mycelf douing, but I fully support someone who chooses to do so...

Congratulations!!

thanks!

13.1 miles, right???

I cannot even imagine running that far unless my hair was on fire!

YOU GO GIRL!

Didn't you just run a whole marathon over the weekend?

@jane13 Yep.. LOL!

@LisaLouBop No.. LOL, I ran 9 miles on Saturday..

this made my day! I love seeing people succeed on their journeys! great job chrystee! I look forward to what the future has in store for you!

Congratulations my friend.

Happy surgiversary and happy results !!!

that's a great accomplishment! I know you have been working towards running more and more. Not my "thing" but I can appreciate your enthusiasm:D

@jane13 It was a big goal I've wanted to complete.. not my thing either really.. cycling is my thing.. but I'll keep it up!

Thanks @oldbriannomore

I have actually thought about dusting off the old beach cruiser and hitting the roads. I don't run. Bike, yes!!!

wellllll??? how was it? been thinking about it and hope you did awesome!

@olfbriannomore It went well! I finished right under 3 hours. I kept a pretty consistent 12 minute per mile pace.

yep! I knew you would rock it! I just replied on your new status.. again, congrats! well done!

Ha! That's my philosophy about the whole thing too! "Hopefully I don't die...." We should get some t-shirts printed up!

@JamieLogical

HAHAHA! I swear. I'm mortally terrified.

no need to be! with your determination and attention to detail you have already finished this marathon!! make us proud!

How can you stand it? Pretty AND close to goal at the same time.

HAHA, Thanks ladies.. @LisaLouBop - thanks for your support though.. it helps. @laura-veen-baldus - I'm getting a new tattoo.. @WLSResources/ClothingExch - you are too kind.

WOW Job well done! You look fantastic. Keep moving toward that goal.

You look very happy and pretty in your profile picture. I am glad you finally get to feel that way.

"I just feel happy and pretty and wonderful" -- Chrystee, you realize, I hope, that you're saying you feel fully alive. You have me weeping with happiness for you.

@WLSResources/ClothingExch

I've never felt alive before now.

Chrystee, in the absence of context for your sentiment, I'll just go for it: Flush the bastards!

Would you care to join me in my "2016 - The year of purging my existence of dead weight and shit..." mission?

I've already made a start...

HAHA @KindaFamiliar @WLSresources/clothing/exch

Yes.. SO TIRED OF IT.

Oh I can't wait for that day!

I couldn't wait! You'll get there.
