@sufferlandrian - right you are. In addition to having folks who have achieved and maintained weight loss we have some bad@ss athletes here. Fitness has more than one facet.
I didn't sleep well last night and I was grumpy in church this morning - which wasn't good because I was in charge of taking down the Christmas tree. I hope I wasn't too short with anyone who volunteered to help. Going out for a pedicure - need to trim my toe nails before the Dopey Challenge next week.0 -

Adding 21.04 today. Got on the recumbent this morning. It was the first time since the 1st.
It was really hard this past week. Our two year old grandson has a nasty, nasty virus. Our daughter and SIL took him into emergency two nights in a row because he was having so much trouble breathing. We helped out during the afternoons/evenings. It was very scary. He is doing much better today, but his voice is still gravely and he still coughs. We'll get him on Tuesday when she goes back to work. It was so heartbreaking to watch.
@Dean that was such a nice thing to say! Thank you! And I'm really glad you didn't go crazy or anything. Summer will be here before you know it, so help is on the way. And you are right, this is a great group.
This will be a better week.

@Dean: so very true. My weight loss is to keep it off my joints. The less weight they bare the longer they last. I remember a book that I have in my library called “fit or fat”. Many people are thin but they are not fit but any means. And you as well as others have truly been my version of EA (eater’s anonymous). I have learned so much from this group and I hope that newbies come to love the group as much as me.
@cpanus: Chris, I sure hope your grandson gets better son. The flu and viruses going around have
been wicked and we are not into the bad months yet. My sister sounds horrid and I halve had other friends and family knocked off their feet for days.
@Janet: did you mean for the little play on words, “Grumpy in church, before the Dopey Challenge”? Hope you are feeling better. Will be thinking good thoughts for your run.
@kar: You have come so far. I am glad you got to see the before and after through other people.
@joannedrummond5: I see you run road and trail. Do you have a preference as to which you like better or do you do both to mix it up? I have been doing more trail lately for various reasons. I always like to hear others views.
@vhuber: You have been AWOL and I wondered if you are okay?
Jan. 6: Adding 1.5 miles. I was tending my dad today and had lots of things going on at my church. Knee was a bit swollen so I backed off today and gave it a rest.
TTD: 131.5 miles

Now 10 years later, I've gone from 35 miles was a long ride to 100 miles is a long ride. I'm still just over 190 lbs but I don't reflux anymore and I can kick butt on some younger rides.
For those who put weight and fitness together, it can mean that. However, don't get so tied to weight that you lose sight of the gains you make in fitness. This group has been a real pleasure and blessing to help me stay motivated. The fitness has allowed me to be able to survive a work schedule that is insane. I have some relief coming this summer to help with work but I credit this group and exercise with keeping my head and body from going off the deep end. There are way too many people over the several years to name individually but I would like the thank Chris, Dave, Susan, Janet and Char in particular.
Thank you Dean! You did give me a reality check though. My fitness is the best I have had in over 20 years. I can do long and short rides and I am more fit, have a better pedal stroke and cadence than my son David who is 37! I can stack way more miles than he can too. So you are right, I should not tie weight up to fitness. Thanks my friend0 -

@clepant - hahaha! No I didn't intentionally say "Grumpy before the Dopey Challenge." Truth be told, I'm not really much of a Disney fan, which might be hard to believe given how much time I spend there. They sure do put on nice races though.
Yesterday was a picture perfect day here. I went for a fabulous bike ride (to church because there was stuff grumpy me forgot to do yesterday) on the back trails of my town yesterday. It was just wonderful. I'm at 41/75 and I've lost 2.5 pounds. Going the right way!2 -
