Hey folks. Did my fastest ever 10k this morning... 63 minutes. Plus I ran an additional 2.5 miles back and forth to the car.... That's how far away I had to park. So day 23 is 8.7 miles.... Which is 102 total. Thrilled to have made my goal with a week to keep adding to it. Thanks to all of y'all that joined in and inspired me. Keep pushing. We are all gonna make it.

Clap clap clap clap!!!

You're so close. You're gonna make it.

Walked a mile today, 26 miles total. I don't think I'll make 100 this month but I'm going to keep challenging myself each month until I do!!! If I can get 40 or 50 this month then maybe Oct I'll get 80 and by November I'll get 100!

Once again I didn't get in a bike ride today but I did get in 2.67 miles walking. That puts me at 85.7 for the month. My goal for the end of the weekend was 90 miles. I will definitely be riding tomorrow if I want to make that.

Great job everyone! We are almost there! Keep up the great work!

You are doing great! Just go at your pace that is comfortable for you. Keep it up and you will get there.

Great job. Yep that's the whole idea. Just to keep challenging yourself to do a little more. Pushing that comfort zone is what releases the best in all of us.

Come on Laura, we will do this together. I have 32 miles to go or about that. We're supposed to have great weather here this week, and I have no deployments scheduled in the evening. I have had my grandchildren from Friday through Sunday and Monday evening. I went out a bought a bike trailer so I could ride and take them along.

You can do it too. I like your new profile picture also.

Tonight sunset was at 7 p.m. so the days are getting shorter. After end of October I will only be able to ride on the weekend since I will be dark by the time I get home from work.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
