Guest guest Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yes, I did. I only did about 129 miles over the weekend, but the 900 cyclists as a group raised over $2 million for Make-a-Wish!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi everyone, Wow, there was such amazing content in my last two email digests. I decided to switch to individual emails because I really want to respond and now I feel like I don't know where to start! Anyway, to all the new members, welcome! I have found, in my short month or so with this group, that it's an amazing support and has truly enhanced/accelerated my progress with IOWL. I was always so private and secretive about my food/weight issues. This is the first time in my life I've embraced participating in a group, and perhaps that is why this is the first time in my life it feels like my journey is so positive! I, like Charlotte, have even started using the blog on Spark People (for the IOWL group) as a place to debrief on my journey, process 's ideas/steps, etc. It's been very helpful for me to do that and so new to be so public about it. I even put my photo there, and I've been a member of Spark for years and never had a photo there! Charlotte, your enthusiasm is infectious, and I love your new journal! You mentioned that you generally use blogging and I'd love to read your posts, if you feel OK sharing! I'm sure I didn't respond to everything but wanted to say hello to all. I'm back home after a few days away and will be going away again in a few days. I'm proud and thrilled to say that before I left I thought about how I wanted to feel and did a pre-do about how I'd act, eat, be...and for the most part, it all went really well. Thanks again to all for their support and insights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well done, Eldred! We have a bike ride here in Houston, the MS 150, benefits the National MS Society and is a two day, 150 mile trip. My goal is to ride in it within the next two or three years... secondary goal is to do at least one day of the trip! =) P > ** > > > Yes, I did.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 WOW! I've really enjoyed reading the postings. You are all motivating me and giving me so many great ideas. Thanks to Pamela and Charlotte for sharing their images of Jane and the cute little creature. I loved your descriptions! And Charlotte, you've inspired me to get a fun journal!! Dora, I hope to find calm acceptance too. My acceptance right now is an angry, resentful, hateful kind of acceptance. In all reality, that's not acceptance. After doing a lot of soul searching / digging in as to where I am right now, my current symptoms, and who's affected by my weight struggle, I'm feeling angry, resentful, hostile, and the list of negative feelings goes on. I wrote in my journal that I'm taking responsibility for all of me - the past me, the present me, and the future me. I'm now more motivated than ever to reach inner alignment. Through patience and persistence I will prevail! I have several food centered challenges coming up and need to be mentally prepared. I found the pre-do and re-do information in the book. Is there a podcast that discusses re-do and pre-do?  If so, what's the #? Thank you all again for making me feel welcome with your kind words, your personal thoughts, your successes and challenges, and fun suggestions. Thanks for caring and sharing! ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Tue, July 31, 2012 6:19:51 AM Subject: Re: Re: Hi, I'm back!  Yes, the pre-do has probably been the most powerful tool for me!

I also got majorly disillusioned with Dukan's money grubbing ways - his online " community " was pitiful, badly run, badly designed and HORRENDOUSLY expensive.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi , The re-do is in the podcasts on Kaizen and Continuous Improvement. I found the podcasts very helpful and will actually be listening to them myself in the coming days before I leave for a trip. I will just do pre-do's instead of re-do's... 9-12 I think...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Eldred, Congrats on going as far as you did! What happened? Are you ok? Or did training not go as planned? I bet for every Eldred who did as much as he could with what the day gave him, there are 50 who stayed home because they felt they " didn't measure up " .

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks! Neither one of us got enough training, and my riding partner got hypothermia on Friday. We rode in pouring rain for almost 3 hours in mid-sixties temps, and it caught up with her. Saturday we went a little farther, and Sunday we did the most miles.
