The swim meet went well yesterday. I basically did better than my previous meets based on the time conversions from yards to meters. It was interesting swimming meters since that extra couple of yards does make a difference, it is a few extra strokes. By the end of the meet while swimming the 400 Free, my arms were getting…

Hurray today the last day of school and work. It was a bitter-sweat day since we have to many people leaving the school and getting a new principal. I did get in a long bike ride today after work. I went 20 miles with my co-worker who is an avid biker. I learned several things from her today so that should make riding…

Been dealing with a headache off and on all day, hope it will go away soon. Between the heat and the weather I am doomed.

bump--- Good day but long evening.

Welcome to all the new people. Lori- Good luck with your upcoming races. My next race is a 5K on July 4th. Karen- Enjoy the trail run, just watch out for tree roots and uneven ground. Today was a another busy day but good. I did get in a 12.5 mile bike ride this morning in 1 hour. So it was a fast 12 miles today. I enjoyed…

It has been another busy weekend so far. The good side is that I have been so busy that there has been little time for snacking. Tomorrow will more of the same. I have a picnic during the afternoon and a bike ride planned for the morning. I just need to make sure that I am back in time to get ready for the picnic. Kaye_…

Tanya- the pulled muscle on the right side and the back pain make sense now with limited exercise. At least you are allowed to do several exercises. I hope this works for you. Kayaking does work alot of muscles in the back and arm so not a great idea right now. I hope your neck pain subsides. Becca- Congrats on the…

Karen Great pic of yo and your friend. Kelley- Be careful with your foot and the fracture. You want it to heal correctly. A friend of mine who also has a hairline fracture of the Tibia. It took about 2 weeks before the pain subsided. She is doing better now and can drive again. She is also in a boot, there is a lace up…

Welcome back to those returning to this journey. Karen- We also had thunderstorms last night and some of them were serve. I also found motivation hard today. I ended up shopping for some decorations for a picnic on Sunday and then went to visit my dad. By the time I was done, I just did not feel like going to the gym. My…

Tanya- Hope you had a great birthday. People also misjudge my age and think that I am younger than my 45 years. I will take that compliment any day, so enjoy it. You will find your motivation again just keep doing it. What is cool is that your work benefits are paying for it so that is a good deal. Karen-I still have 8…

It was a great weekend. I did go kayaking today and tried an sit on top kayak. It was fun but getting in was not pretty. Did better getting out by crawling onto the dock, to lessen the chance of falling in. :p Started today with a 16 mile bike ride which was nice and a good pace. Ended the day with the family birthday…

Susan- Good luck with your surgery. I was wondering about your sister and if she was coming back to Atlanta with you. Are you still considering doing the Hero's Run in September? If so, let me know and I will plan to come down for it. Kelley- Sorry to hear about the bone fracture. Did that happen the first time you hurt…
-
Susan- Hope everything works out for you and this guy. Becca- Great swim today. Regarding the person at TOPS who lost the 6 pounds in one week, it may be fluke or due to mother nature. For example, when it that TOM comes calling the week before I will drop up to 6-8 pounds during that week. Sadly, the week after it comes…

Welcome Clay and congrats on being 30 lbs down. When it comes to working out, you need to make it a part of your life. It can be something simple like going for a walk with your wife after dinner or before. The point is to get moving and stay active. Maybe you can switch up walking with a gym workout, it is great way to…

Just a quick check in since it is getting late. I am not sure where the week went. Last week, I was down and resting with strep throat. This weekend I did go for a couple of bike rides and a walk but spent most of it resting. Now that the work week has started, I am back to being busy. Robin- Happy Birthday, hope you had a…

Lori- I hope you frame those pictures. They really show the progress you have made and how far you have come. The results are fantastic and you are beautiful. The stress of work and my dad are affecting my health at this point. That's why I love exercise, just sad that I can't exercise right now. Goinstd12 and Susan- Love…

Well, today I woke up completely exhausted and with a sore throat. I ended up taking the morning off so I could sleep. The extra sleep helped and I made it through a half day. Came home and slept for a couple of hours. Fever went up and I ended up at Righttime Care. I have strep throat and will be off work until Friday.…

I saw the first real signs of improvement in my dad today. I am actually starting to believe that he will get better. The weekend was not kind to him and it was disheartening. I am exhausted today so I am ending this early. I am thinking of all of you and wishing you the best.

I am still on an emotional roller coaster right now with my dad. He did have a heart attack, has not walked in at least 8 days, but on the bright side he looked better today than he has in a while. Tomorrow, he is suppose to be released from the hospital to a nursing home. We still don't know which nursing home he is going…

I am so glad it is Friday. The last two weeks have been exhausting and it caught up with me today. I was sitting at the hospital with my dad and realized that I was to tired to climb tonight. For those who know me this is huge since I love climbing and it gives me energy. While visiting dad, a friend called and needed a…

Tracy- sending you positive thoughts and prayers that you stay strong and find the strength to talk about the future. It is smart to look towards the future and to do it now instead of waiting to the last minute. Thank you for sharing your story, your strength is an inspiration.

Well after a crazy morning, I am ready a peaceful night. Started the day at the hospital only to learn that my dad's procedure (caterization) was scheduled for 2:50pm and not 7:30am. So mom and I opted to go home since I took the morning off. I took a short nap then went to get my driver's license renewed, needed a new…

Wish that my dad gets better and that there is nothing wrong with his heart. This is the latest step in the saga of my dad, he is having some type of procedure dealing with his heart tomorrow morning. Not exactly what it is called since Mom doesn't know. This is better than him having to go to a hospital in Washington DC.…

Hi All, My dad is doing better today but still very weak. He has two infections that he is fighting right now. One is in the urinary track and the other is in his blood stream. He spent the weekend sleeping and was awake today. Hopefully, he will continue to improve. Welcome to all the new people. Hope you come back often.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom in the group. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow and are able to enjoy it. Karen- Congrats on your 8K. Good job with the time and the run. Success this week was just watching what I ate and eating more salads and a smaller dinner this week. It has paid off since weight was donw this…

Happy Thursday almost Friday Now. Karen- Congrats on finishing that set of papers and avoiding the cake. I did not avoid the cake today but I did manage to run 2 miles then walked a third. It was a nice run since I ran outside around the neighborhood. It was too beautiful to go to the gym today. Good luck to those of you…
