    Sorry I have been on lately. I will be try to get in the swing of things this week but it may have to wait another week. I just lost my father on Wednesday and was not in the mood to do anything or nor do I care what I eat. I wanted to pop up to see if I can motivate myself but naaaa, don't feel like it.

    :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Sorry to hear about your Dad...I'm a nurse on a heart monitoring unit and help people thru death quite often...it is so painful and sad for famililes...I hope that you have a support system to help you thru your grief.

    Jennifer, I am so sorry for your family's loss! I lost both my mom and dad within the space of a year and a half a while back and I will tell you this, it does not get better with time like everyone says but each day we handle it differently, some days better than others. I still have days where I felt like it was yesterday.
    I hope that the support of your family and those around you will make it easier for you to heal.

    Jennifer, so sorry to hear about your father. My heart goes out to you and your family.

    I only burned 1675 this last week. I liked my HRM better when it thought I was an elite athlete. :wink:

    Hi everyone - Kim, nice to see you back from vacation! I have been sick all week, so the week has been a wash as far as any true activity efforts. :(

    But, this week hopefully will be better. I just resigned myself to the fact that sometimes life has other plans and you have to roll with the punches. I'm finally feeling "less awful" and maybe I can go for a walk tomorrow. That would feel like a big deal. :)

    Hang in there Jennifer, my thoughts are with you.

    Jennifer, so sorry to hear about your dad. Take your time and jump back into this whenever you are ready. altho I will say that perhaps exercise can be an outlet for your emotions and help a lil bit. whatever you do, we are here for you. :flowerforyou:

    Thank you all for the kind words. I am planning to jump back in on Monday. I received my Insanity DVD's the day I found out. So it is there ready for me when I am. I will be walking around all day Sunday at the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. So I will get some exercise. Should be good to get up and moving, maybe make me feel better.

    Glad you all are rocking it!!!
