June Post Ops!

[tessa315 5]

My mom passed away tonight. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through. Our whole family was there and surrounded her as Jesus took her to heaven. Thank you all for your kindness and support. God bless you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you and your family positive thoughts...

My heart aches for you. I am SO incredibly sorry! It's tough for us being down here in this world, but you can be glad in the fact that she's up where we all are waiting to be someday, with our precious Savior. I will pray for peace for you and your family. ((Hugs))

You look absolutely beautiful...

Mel the triathlon is an excellent idea. im trying the Media 5k in May. im going to make it one way or the other. I did see you are concerned about the bike aspect of the event. im riding my bike now and 8 to 10 miles is highly do-able. just make sure you have a bike shop set the bike up for you and tune it up. i did this with my new bike and it was like night and day as far as effort to peddle the vehicle. also i got a seat called a C9 cloud gel filled seat. its wide and is easy on my hiney. 100% better than the Nazi inspired european ass torture device it came equiped with. let me know how you progress in your training. very intrested......catch you later gator

Thanks for the info! Sorry I have been MiA for awhile. I think that might help to get the bike tuned up. I don't understand all the gears and such on my bike. I rode 2 miles the other day and truly thought I was going to die! I don't know if my seat is a c9 cloud, but it is a Big Butt seat! Bought that a long time ago. I also purchased biker shorts that have padding. Helps a great deal if you don't have any. 2 miles walking/ running (my fiend calls it wunning) seems like nothing and the swim is okay. I was shooting for June 1st, so when I went in for my year visit I could take my medal, but I don't know if that goal will happen now. I'm still working towards it. There is actually a triathlon for women only at my gym, but its in April. Don't feel ready for that one at all.

RJ, can you give me guidance on which fit it to purchase? My Bday is Saturday and I am going to tell my hubby that's what I want.but I will need to be specific with him about which one.

I think of all of you often! I am thinking we need to all meet up somewhere! I could not have survived without all of you during this past year!

I'm struggling. I'm sitting in a hospital room holding my mom's hand. Her kidneys have shut down and hospice comes tomorrow, we are taking her home. The last six weeks have been horrible. I'm hurting, tired and not taking care of myself. I have to get through this I love my mom more than any one. She is my one true constant.

I don't know when this was written. I haven't been on in awhile. I am thinking of you.

Well I'm down another 2lbs, I know it don't sound like much but I will take that than a gain any day. I'm feeling more confident on my eating and portions control. I no longer have that constant hungry feeling I had before but I still get hungry when time to eat. I'm not sure if I will have a 200 mile month this month; I only have 117 miles mostly walking but a few mountain bike rides in there. Weather had a big play but I'm making no excuses. I'm just so thankful but yet afraid in a way that it's all a dream and I might wake up. But each morning when I awake, I have a smile.. And each one of you I have so much to be thankful for and I love you all!

Hi Mel,

I haven't seen RJ on lately, so I thought I would get back to you about the fit bits. I love mine. I got it for my birthday from hubby on Feb 1. I am not really techy and even I was able to figure it out. I got the Fit Bit Force. Unfortunately this one has been recalled. I have not yet turned it in, but I just got an email from the company, so I will be. I will then purchase a Fit Bit Flex, which I believe is the same one RJ has.

I can tell you that it has really helped me to learn that even through I was congratulating myself for getting a work out in every day it wasn't enough. Meeting the flex bit goals - even only a few days a week - has made the scale start to move again. I really liked that the Force had a window so you could actually see how many steps you were at, the Flex doesn't have this feature. But, the Flex is smaller so that will be a plus.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Mitz,

I SO completely agree! I also wake up every morning afraid that this is all a dream or that this will be the day that I begin to lose control and it all ends. But the scale keeps moving for me. I celebrated 9 months yesterday and am down 175 pounds as of this morning. I am not perfect, but I follow my plan very closely. I really feel that I am on the road to long term success. Perhaps that fear we have is a good thing. It is a reality check in a way that keeps us from going back to bad habits.

Keep on smiling! We've got this!!

Mel. The fit bit i have is the fit nit flex. Its gives ne all the data i need and is light and my choice cost 99.00 at target

The other one i looked at was the newer one the the fitbit force it give you a tad more data...flights of steps & it acts as a watch. It costs 129.00 the only reason i did not spring for the extra 30 was

1. i already wear a watch everyday

2. i do not feel stairs are a big factor in my daily routine

3.you can read outactial data on the force. The flex are progressove light the mre lights the closer you are to your daily goal. I find this works better for me.

3. they recently had a recall because apparently the force has trace elements of nickle in the band and some people are alergic to nickle.

But 1 & 2 were the main reasons.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you want to talk email me and ill send you my cp no. walkingman180@gmail.com

Aww thank you. It has been tough. My mom passed last Wednesday. She went with all her children and my dad, her husband of 52 years holding, talking, singing and praying over her. I am destroyed but know she's in a better place and I will see her again when it's my time. I haven't worked out in 2 weeks and not eating a lot but trying to get back into my routine. I plan to gym it tomorrow and msde my lunch today. I just have lost an apoetite from nerves but know I need to eat. I am drinking Water which is good.

You all are so special to me. I am thankful for you all. This journey is hard and after seeing ny mom die of obesity related complications it confirms I never want to go back. Less than 20 lbs to goal and then maintenance for me.

Glad to see you back here. You have been in my daily prayers. Sunday will be the one year anniversary of my Dad's death. I find myself dreaming about him a lot lately. Dementia had taken much of him before his actual death, but still, I miss him every day. The best thing you can do to honor your Mom is take care of yourself. Live the life she could have had if not for this awful disease, obesity.

I want to dream about mom so badly. I remember when my grandmother died I had the most vivid dreams and they were wonserful. Life is hard but I'll tell you just like Jesus said,"love is the greatest gift".

Hugs!!

I got the Flex force. Today is my first day wearing it. It's flashing two lights. Not together.
